You know I\u2019m not a mathematician. You know that adding simple numbers isn\u2019t something I can do. You know that subtracting simple numbers isn\u2019t something I can do either. When we first met, I told you, I didn\u2019t understand quantum physics, regular physics, or how many a dozen is. And you laughed like you thought I was joking. And then I laughed because you were laughing. And then I drank too much because I couldn\u2019t accurately count the number of drinks I\u2019d had. Also, on that date, I explained to you that I had skipped every single math class I had ever had in school because they seemed boring. And you laughed again because you thought I was joking, but I wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t need a fourth-grade math skillset to know that you + me = something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have we been dating? You could tell me it\u2019d been a couple of years, because I feel so comfortable with you, and also because I am not good at math. You could also tell me it\u2019d been only a couple of months because everything feels so fresh and exciting and new and also because I am not good at math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had so many good times together. Like, remember that date when we went out for brunch, and I ordered all those eggs? I ordered scrambled eggs, and then the waiter asked how many, and I panicked and said nine. I did that because I got nervous around you, but also because I have no conception of how many eggs nine is. Then I ate all those eggs and got sick on the floor of that brunch place and was told not to come back. How many brunch places have I been told never to step foot in ever again since we\u2019ve been dating? As you know, I\u2019m not a numbers person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think about our future together, I get scared, because I realize I don\u2019t know how old I am due to the math thing. I know I\u2019m not a baby (well, sometimes I am I guess) because I can walk and talk, but beyond that, who can really say? At night, when I can\u2019t sleep, I don\u2019t count sheep, because\u2014you know. Instead, I picture us together, living in the country. It\u2019s you, it\u2019s me, and it\u2019s eighty golden retrievers. Is that a lot? I don\u2019t even know if eighty dogs is a lot because I\u2019m bad at math. I do remember you being upset when I bought you thirty cats for your birthday. But maybe you were just mad because they were cats and not because you were actually frustrated about the number of them. You know I don\u2019t know if eighty dogs or thirty cats is a lot, but I do know that I want to be with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t need to have the intellect of Albert Einstein to know that you\u2019re the one for me. I may be unable to add, subtract, divide, multiply, or effectively use a calculator, but I know there\u2019s something here. And hey, I know I\u2019ve got my faults. There\u2019s the whole math thing, the being banned from brunch places because of overheating due to the math thing, and all those cats I bought you that ended up kind of wrecking your apartment because of the math thing. I may never understand the Pythagorean Theorem or the associative law of multiplication or even what all those zeroes that come after the one in my savings account mean. Ugh, so-so-so many zeroes! It\u2019s kind of concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
