Today, I congratulated my friend for getting engaged. This is the fourth friend of mine this year that has become engaged. I haven't even had a boyfriend yet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out yet another friend is engaged, and a few more are having babies. I'm still young and have time, and I have a wonderful kiddo and boyfriend, but I also feel left out. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, my oldest friend got engaged to her loving boyfriend of one year. Meanwhile, I can't even get my boyfriend of more than four years to commit to a decision of what he wants for dinner. FML
Today, I was invited to go to a BBQ with one of my guy friends. It turned out to be a surprise engagement party, and every single one of his friends congratulated me. I'm not his fiancée. FML
Today, for the first time, I hugged the man I have been in love with for four years. It was a congratulatory hug at his wedding to my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML
Today, I got engaged to my boyfriend of three years. I made the announcement on my status on facebook so people would congratulate me. The only response I got about my engagement was from a girl I knew saying; "Umm, he didn't tell you he was cheating on you for three years with me?" FML
Today, I logged on Facebook and saw my friend who'd been engaged, then broke the engagement, then got back together announce their new wedding date: three days before my wedding. She also sent me a message asking if I'd move my date. We've been planning our wedding for two years. She got engaged six months ago. FML
Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML
Today, a good friend from childhood, who was my maid of honor four years ago, got married. Without me knowing about it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get a boyfriend when there's a boy or man in your life that you really really like. Don't do it just because everybody else does.

ppl are SO mean here. i think the OP is just picky. just about ANYONE can get a bf if they really want to, but we all have standards. i'm in the same boat here, been single for a few years now while all my friends are getting married. just been extremely picky, had enough with guys wasting my time. OP, treat singleness as a gift. I know it really sucks sometimes, but think of it this way, you have time and opportunity to do things that you may never get a chance to do again once you're married with kids. if anything, these people envy your freedom more than you envy their engagement and marriage.

Being engaged does not necessarily mean you will be getting married and are going to have a happy life. It just means that's what those two people are intending to do. you need to lighten up and relax a bit. You'll find the right person for you eventually, it takes time. It took me 4-5 serious long term relationship, one marriage, and 7 years into this relationship I'm still not certain I've got it right ... but I'm happy and committed. Relationships often fail, even when people are engaged or married. You are FAR better off taking your time, dating for as long as you need and finding the right guy. Here's a couple of tips below. Find a Hobby that would normally attract the kind of guy you would want and join up. Get a dog if you like pets, and take walks in a popular dog walking area. Reach outside your social group, make new friends, the guy you want is probably not in your group. Open up your criteria, some really great guys have already been married and have kids to someone else, thats ok, someone else broke him in, you get the good stuff with none of the hard work. New Zealand has a serious male/female imbalance, you WILL have to work to find the right guy. It is ok to start a relationship with someone to see where it leads, and then end it when it's not right. Being engaged or married doesnt make a relationship great, it just makes it committed. There are plenty of unhappy married people out there. You can get commitment from a great guy when he's ready without the ring and party. In fact without the commitment focus, your relationships might well last alot longer.

I feel like the OP isn't complaining about not having a current boyfriend/fiance/husband so much as not having EVER had a relationship, while her friends have had relationships serious enough to end up getting engaged.

Sounds like your standards are to high. Or you are afraid to ask someone out
