History Main / EngagingConversation

** Ayumu also does this to Hinagiku...sort of.

* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge,'' [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/06-yesterday-was-thursday/devil/#comment here]]. Which is sort of a dark version of this trope, since Joyce doesn't realize that [[spoiler:he slipped something into that drink]].

* In ''Film/TheVillage'', Lucius and Ivy become engaged via a conversation where she asks if he will dance with her at their wedding.

-->'''Sandra :''' Cloud, will you marry me?

* ''Comicbook/MsMarvel2014'' gives us one by proxy, when Kamala is chaperoning Aamir and Tyesha on one of their [[NotADate not-dates]] and they noticed some brainwashed civilians.

[[folder:Fan Fiction]]

* Creator/DorothyLSayers' Literature/LordPeterWimsey series:

* In the Literature/BelisariusSeries, when John of Rhodes learns how extensive Irene Macrembolitissa's personal library is (and the ''quality'' of the contents), "Marry me" is the first thing out of his mouth. She replies, "Not a chance, John. I know your type. You're just lusting after my books."

* In ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank 3'', Ratchet says this to Sasha on realising he'll be provided with the latest game console set-up.
* In ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'' 2, when Natalya tells Crypto about how she snuck out of an East German soccer match with a West German jersey on, Crypto pulls this on her. She replies, "No, but thanks for asking."
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Project: Story of Eastern Wonderland'', as the "proposal" is actually a challenge.

* [[http://notalwaysright.com/helping-the-needy/4597 This]] Website/NotAlwaysRight entry features 2 Franchise/StarTrek fans, one of which pretends to propose to the other after exchanging only a few sentences of dialog. The person who submitted the entry was the one being proposed to. They quickly exit the conversation.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Daring Do intentionally {{invoke|d}}s this [[FoeRomanceSubtext against her arch-enemy Ahuizotl]] when they are fighting each other over a magic ring in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont Daring Don't]]''.

* Raichou of ''LightNovel/KyouranKazokuNikki'' does this to Pierre after tasting one of his desserts.

* Claire Stanfield from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' is known to do this all the time. The difference is that, unlike anyone else here, he's ''completely and absolutely serious about it''. And perhaps even more incredibly, [[spoiler:eventually ''it actually works.'']]

* In ''Theatre/Hadestown'', it certainly doesn't take long for [[TheIngenue Orpheus]] to decide he wants to marry [[BrokenBird Eurydice]], a woman he's never spoken to before. Seriously:

-->'''Orpheus:''' The man who's gonna marry you.

So you meet a member of your preferred gender for the first time and initiate a conversation. They might be a coworker, a friend of a friend, or even a stranger you're meeting in a trendy juice bar: in any case, it's a casual, low-key meeting. Things are going along smoothly when suddenly, in describing oneself, your new acquaintance says "I spend six hours a day editing Wiki/TVTropes."

You can hardly believe your ears: ''you'' spend ''seven'' hours a day on Wiki/TVTropes! After being told by your friends ([[ThoseTwoGuys both of them]]) that [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife you have a problem]], at last, you've found a kindred spirit! How do you express your glee at your mutual interests?

* Something related: Fans of ''Anime/LuckyStar'' have reportedly flocked to the shrine that was the model for the one seen in the anime and left plaques with wishes like "Konata is my wife" on them.

* In the final scene of the Music/StephenSondheim musical ''Theatre/MerrilyWeRollAlong'', Mary compliments upstart composer Frank on his music, to which he replies "I've just met the girl I'm going to marry." This, in classic Sondheimian fashion, has a [[FunnyAneurysmMoment dark edge]], since we've [[BackToFront already seen]] that Mary will fall in love with Frank, who will remain oblivious to her feelings through two disastrous marriages to other women.

* In the ''Film/{{Rad}}'' review, the RaisedCatholic [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Nostalgia Critic]] was given the "apology" of "What would Jesus do?", and so immediately wanted to jump the other person's bones. "Do me!"

* Tom Welling, who plays [[{{Superman}} Clark]] on ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', apparently was asked this in all seriousness by a fan he'd never met before. He was a bit disturbed.

--> '''Mulder''': Maybe you don't know what you're looking for.\\

--> '''Mulder''': I have a theory. Do you want to hear it?\\

How do you express your glee at your mutual interests?

* In the ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' manga, Minamo-sensei does this to ''ten-year-old Chiyo''. Of course, it was entirely related to Chiyo's household abilities, especially cooking.

* Creator/DorothyLSayers' Literature/LordPeterWimsey sometimes used this gambit to flatter older women. In "The Queen's Square", he says to his dance partner that if he'd only had the luck to have been born earlier, he'd have married her. (She is ''much'' older than he is and is not offended.)
** However, when he actually ''means'' it, i.e. proposing a FourthDateMarriage to Harriet Vane, she at first doesn't believe him. (It takes several years and books before she finally realizes all those spontaneous proposals are deadly serious. [[spoiler: Then she says yes.]])

* [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20030225 This]] ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' strip.

** In crossover fangame ''VideoGame/TouhouMother'', Satori Komeji of all people has this reaction to discovering that [[spoiler: she can't read Mima's mind]].

* In ''Anime/KidouTenshiAngelicLayer'', Misaki's aunt and best friend, Tamayo, demand she marry them after she cooks for them.

* This is shown in a {{flashback}} in ''Manga/FutureDiary'', when 13-year-old classmates [[SchoolIdol Yuno]] and [[{{Adorkable}} Yukiteru]] are both having trouble with a school assignment asking them about their dreams for the future. Yuki had been looking forward to going to see the stars with his parents, but they've just recently gotten divorced, and now it seems like he may never get that chance. To cheer him up, Yuno offers to go with him to the observatory instead, but Yuki says it's not the same since she isn't family. Yuno then suggests that she could be family if she married him. He brushes it off and jokingly agrees to get married when they're older, believing she was only kidding. [[StalkerWithACrush She wasn't.]] It turns out the reason she was having trouble with the assignment was that [[spoiler: she had accidentally killed her AbusiveParents. She had been all alone and unable to imagine any kind of future for herself, but the thought of marrying Yuki gave her something solid to fixate on and focusing on that kept her from completely giving in to despair. In the process, Yuki becomes a LivingEmotionalCrutch, and Yuno will do [[ClingyJealousGirl anything]] to make sure they can be together. [[MurderTheHypotenuse ANYTHING.]]]]

** To be fair, that might have less to do with GeekyTurnOn, and more to do with the fact that Vicki Vale is played by [[HelloNurse Kim Basinger]].

* In Creator/KerryGreenwood's ''Murder in the Dark'', Mr. Butler compliments the Templars' housekeeper by saying, "If I weren't already married..." (She's both cool in a crisis and a very good pastry cook.)
