So soon?

J proposed today to his friend A. We were going to their pool to spend the afternoon and in the parking lot J said, "Do you want to get married?" and A replied "I don't know. I'll think about it." Maybe cuz he didn't have a ring? he-he.
They have been buddies since birth since her mom in one of my best friends. I keep waiting for their friendship to wear thin because they go to different school and such. But each time they are together, they are the Dynamic Duo- full of the Dickens and Up to No Good!
He was upset that she didn't say yes but of course, I told him he had plenty of time.
