He was entertaining, enchanting and all she needed was to spend whatever remains of her existence with him.
There was one and only issue. While her beau David Mackay would advise her he needed to get hitched, he was yet to really ask her.
Helen had been persuaded he was going to pop the question on her birthday, however rather than a ring he gave her another telephone.
She then thought he'd propose at Christmas, however the wonderfully wrapped box under the tree wasn't a jewel, yet a watch.
At last came Valentine's Day however all she got was a bundle of blossoms.
After two weeks, Helen acknowledged it was February 29, a Leap Day and a period for ladies to propose. In this way, much the same as Elizabeth Taylor and Halle Berry, after only 11 months of dating, she chose to take matters into her own particular hands.
"We had talked about marriage," says shop partner Helen, now 28. "I didn't see the point in holding up."
The couple, from Witham, Essex, met while Helen was working in her nearby Co-operation and development specialist David, 38, was a general client.
Helen says: "David used to come in each Saturday night, I thought he was somewhat of a washout. Following a couple of months, he came in four times in one night and on the last visit, he gave me his number. I understood he'd been working up mettle to ask me out!
