So, uh, the end of May is our half-year mark--Hermann's and mine--and Hermann said I had to wait until we hit six months before I even attempted a proposal and you know how the sort-of one went during the Occupation. I guess what I'm trying to say, is, dude, would you think it's presumptuous of me to start, well, LOOKING for a ring? Or would it'd, actually, be bad if I didn't? I mean, do you think Hermann EXPECTS me to propose, do you think he PREFERS I didn't ...I don't want to disappoint him and I don't want to annoy him and ...

Thoughts?

Help me, Q.B.1. you're my only hope.
