So, if I get it right... You didn't meet that woman for years. You meet her, subtly ask if she's alone, then propose?

That was bold of you, but even bolder from her to accept.

Safe to assume this is Indian or muslim culture where it’s customary to set up a marriage between acquaintances, no dating as we know it.

We went to university together, had a semi-romantic friendship before as well. I always liked her and I thought she liked me back too but after graduating I was focused on other stuff, wasn't actively looking for a relationship. Hence the gap.

Thanks for your transparence about that gap in your romantic resume. :-)

Yeah, I'm confused by this to. Did they not even date first, or was this how they asked her out?

[kelnos]

I think they meant that they'd dated in the past, but hadn't seen each other in many years.

Still bold.
