Proposal and Love: Timing is everything

Timing is everything

Today, I finally plucked up the courage to propose to my girlfriend of 7 months. I took her out to the park where we had our first kiss, I got down on one knee, and before I could say, "Will you marry me?" a bird shat on my head. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of three years on a romantic picnic to the park, so I could propose to her. The moment was just right, I made my move. I knelt down on one knee and asked her. Her response was "you're kneeling in dog poop." I looked down. She was right. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, I proposed to a girl I'd been in love with for 6 years. I filled the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her with innumerable roses and, under the starlit sky, I did it. She later posted on facebook 'OMG. This geek I knew from high school did the FUNNIEST thing today'. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

Today, after 2 years together, my boyfriend finally proposed. I excitedly said yes. Just as we began to kiss, my half crazed cat ran in, dropped a half eaten bird at our feet, and promptly threw up on the carpet. FML

Today, I got on one knee in front of my girlfriend. I pulled out the ring, uttered the words, "Lisa, will you…" then abruptly shat my pants. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She was so happy that she began flapping her hands around and screaming. She was flapping her hands so hard she smacked herself in the face and started crying. FML

Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague. A little boy thought it would be fun to chase a flock of pigeons towards me. I freaked out and dropped the 2 carat diamond ring. Into the river. FML

Hey, in many eastern cultures this means GOOD LUCK!! I'm not kidding. in many cultures, if a bird ***** in your head(since it's very unusual), you should go and buy a lottery ticket. a lot of people believe this brings good luck in that lottery. true or not, i think it doesn't hurt to buy a small lottery ticket :)

I know 7 months seems a little early but maybe they are just crazy about each other. for those of you in Australia would have heard something about Australia's Perfect Couple tv show. the couple that won were this good looking couple that got married after 8 months and at time of show were married for 3 years and counting. I hope it works out well for OP.

7 months? Seriously? Are you in a hurry? That's still the infatuation stage.

OMG OMG OMG 7 MONTHS!!!1 wtfzomgbbq roflcopter!! Holy f*cking shit that's way too early!!1! The 7 months thing isn't the issue here. It's the fact that the guy got shit on while trying to propose to the woman he loves. Proposing is stressful enough. Getting crapped on and ending up looking like an idiot doesn't help. Who really gives a shit if it was after 7 months? I don't get why everyone is flipping out about that number.

Wow, I didn't realize so many relationship experts had FML accounts. Seriously, every relationship is different. Since I haven't been living under a rock, yes, I've seen the 50% divorce statistics. Maybe these people have known each other for a very long time, not just the 7 months they've been "officially dating". Maybe they're at a point in their lives where they are ready for the commitment and they believe they wanna make that commitment to each other. As for that 50% of marriages that fell apart...do you really think ALL those people got engaged "too early"? Come on now.

Um, he didn't take 7 months for a first kiss. He took her BACK to the place they HAD their first kiss at so he could propose, because that place had meaning to them. God.

My godparents were engaged after 2 weeks, and were happily married until the day he died decades later. If it's right, it's right. What gets me is the 7 months and the first kiss thing. You waited 7 months to kiss your gf? Then, after that first kiss, you wanted to propose. The only more extreme example of something like this was when the oldest Duggard got married. He didn't hold hands with his gf until he proposed, then didn't kiss her until "You may kiss the bride."

the OP means ( i hope ) that one they're after seven months they wend to the park WHERE THEY HAD THEIR 1STK KISS AT A PREVIOUS TIME. not he waited 7 months kissed her once then proposed.

um, he had his first kiss at that spot....they had been together for 7months and now he's proposing, not they kissed after 7 months. funny thing is someone else on this post read that wrong. Bird poop is supposed to be good luck mate, so maybe it was a positive sign.
