We had been dating for nearly two years when I got my first job in my career field, which meant moving 300 miles away. Being a hopeless romantic, I was hoping for some grand gesture of a proposal before I left as a sort of promise that we would still be together. However, knowing that this is what I was expecting, Tony put it off.
