Is there a more tragic tale being played out in the British press than that of heroic Andy Murray and his doting, wispy girlfriend Kim Sears. He caused a stir earlier this week by suggesting that he would marry the poor darling after this year’s Wimbledon, only to reveal that it was in fact a joke. Ha.
This comes after a long string of will he/won’t he headlines, and lots of breathy concern for poor, sweet Kim.
There is a solution to Kim’s pain. It’s a bit zesty. It would certainly slog it to those media pundits who see her as a limp fish:
She could ask him to marry her.
A radical thought. But women shouldn’t be scared of popping the question. And neither should men be scared of accepting a proposal.
