Wow -- after faking answers to a few medical and psychological questions in our past few entries, we suppose people have been happy -- because these kinds of questions keep coming in! So whether it's about weddings, weariness, where to hype an event, or where find a book, SFist Answers is the place to turn.
We, as a happily married dude, were relieved to see a question with a subject line about marriage. Finally, something (besides coffee) we can speak with some small authority on! But alas, this question from T is something of a doozy:
Is it exceptable [sic] in this day and age for a 21 yr old male to fall in love with a 44 rear old lady and ask her to marry him?
Oh, man. Acceptable? Well, you're asking in San Francisco, right? We accept a lot of things in this town; that, in fact, is why many of us have flocked here. It's a great place to chase the life you want to live. So . . . "acceptable?" Yes, sure. Falling in love is acceptable, as is asking someone to marry you, as is he or she accepting. But there are a couple other factors we'd ask you to consider.
