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

I'm 16, so is my fiance, and he proposed to me after we were going out for 7 months. You usually know if your gonna marry the person. We're gonna wait till we're 21 tho to get married. We don't live near each other, so our relationship has escalated to where it feels like we've been going out for years, instead of only 14 months. It doesn't matter how long you've been dating, it's knowing you fell in love with the person to actually commit that responsiblity to get married.

"You usually know if you're gonna marry the person." That was a dumb statement. You're 16. How many guys have you dated and married/not married? lol.

Wow. You're 16 years old in a long-distance relationship and you're engaged. Have you ever even MET this person? I've been in a long-distance relationship before so I can't judge on that but you sound like the stupid typical LDR teenager... "We don't live near each other, so our relationship has escalated to where it feels like we've been going out for years, instead of only 14 months." - That doesn't even make SENSE... *shakes head* This website renews my deep-seeded hatred for humanity in general...

I'm going to throw in a crazy statement here for you all to get worked up about: It's not about how long you've known each other, it's not about the butterflies you feel when you're together, because that passes. It's about making a commitment to each other. When you go into a marriage, you have to know that there will be times when you wonder why you ever married the other person, when you can't think of any reason why you're together. This will happen whether you get engaged after 3 years or 3 months. But you're in it together, for better and for worse, and that's what matters. You made a promise to each other, and if you both honour the commitment, it doesn't matter how long you've known each other.
