So here’s the backstory… I moved in with my roommate about a year ago because, let’s be real, rent in this city is out of control, and finding someone decent was like winning the lottery. We hit it off instantly—same humor, same love for Thai food, and somehow, we never argue about cleaning. Total miracle, honestly.
Last night, we were just chilling on the couch watching one of those cringe-worthy rom-coms where everyone knows the two friends are going to end up together, except them. Feeling extra goofy, I blurted out, “Yo, we should just get married. Like, why are we wasting time?”
He laughed, and I thought it was just casual banter, you know? Fast forward to this morning—I’m barely awake, hoodie on, face buried in coffee, and in walks my roommate with the most serious expression, holding… a bread twist tie.
HE HAD TURNED IT INTO A RING.
He goes, “So… were you serious last night?” I almost spit out my coffee. WHAT? I thought we were just joking! My brain completely froze while he stood there, all hopeful. I panicked, laughed it off, and mumbled something about needing a real diamond if we were going to do this properly.
Now I’m low-key avoiding him because I have no idea if he’s embarrassed, mad, or actually planning our wedding. It’s so awkward.
TL;DR:
Made a dumb joke about marrying my roommate, and now he thinks I was serious.
