I think what it all boils down to is either "do/don't worry, I won't be proposing to you anytime in the near future" or "do/don't worry, I will be proposing to you sometime in the near future."  Basically, this is one of the few situations in modern day where the lady and man are not on equal footing, hence paranoia on the lady's part regardless of stance on the whole deal.

I do not think I am really down with "completely surprise proposal that is not expected," anyway.

although, does that really happen that often? It seems like the kind of thing where you know it's coming, at least based on family member's stories?

with the alternate story being "oh, she got pregnant and we figured, hey, we love each other, why not?" My brother has a theory that this is why my grandparents got married, but I do not really want/care to ask and find out.

You should forward it, along with a "let's elope" message, and then all your problems will be over.  And by "over" I mean you will be alone and thinking about all the good times you could be having.
