Here I was thinking you did the impossible and found a pretty gal who shares your interests and isn't hung up on expensive gee-gaws and silly fru-fru, when the matriarchy steps in and shatters the dream.

Now that you've broadcast the situation, the Female Conspiracy is liable to kindap the poor woman and brainwash her so that she doesn't spoil it for the rest of them. For her own sake, buy her some jewlery! Just don't post about it here - I want to dream my silly dream.
