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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 the girl of my dreams. She asked me who I was, and maced me. 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 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 married the beautiful girl I’ve been in love with since we were both 6 years old. By married, I mean I performed the marriage ceremony as the vicar and watched her smile and kiss her arsehole boyfriend, now husband, right in front of me. FML
Today, after pouring my heart out to my girlfriend of four years through a speech that took me three weeks to write, and then proposing, she responded, "Eh, why not." 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 confess my feelings and perform a love song I'd written for my crush during an open mic night. He was there - he also took the opportunity to declare his love to his on-off girlfriend, get down on one knee and propose to her. She said yes. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, whom I'm madly in love with, by having a plane fly over her house spelling "Marry me Abby?" After seeing it, she locked herself in her room and cried for hours, exclaiming that this wasn't how she wanted to be proposed to. I'd invited my entire family. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend proposed to me, at my wedding. FML

I'm confused. Were you two at least going out?

Were you two dating at all? Or did you just decide to propose out of nowhere with no prior relationship history?

...It sounds like you two weren't even dating. That would have been a marvelous way to ask her on a first date. Try that with another girl and remember! Relationship -> engagement -> marriage.

Um... were you even in a relationship with this girl? She wouldn't post something on facebook about a geek from high school if yall were ACTUALLY together... It just sounds pathetic that you would propose!

Okay, some indications that they do at lease know each other beyond high school: 1. he said "the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her". Unless this is at their school, they met somewhere else 2. they're friends on facebook. I don't know about you, but I don't friend creepy guys from HS. Did it ever occur to you that some people TEASE! their significant others. example 1: my husband has long shabby hair and a HUGE overgrown beard. I often point him out to people as "that frightening mountain man" example 2: when we got engaged I often referred to my ring as "a prize from a cracker jack box" example 3: I am often referred to as "that skinny loud girl" why? well....we only roast the ones we love.

While I DO like your logic, I'm gonna try and take a "devil's advocate" look at it. 1. It may have been at Prom, or another school-function that took place outside of school; he DID phrase it as "I'd first laid eyes on her" and not "where we met." 2. I know plenty of people who have even actively sent out friend-requests on Facebook for people they don't quite know. I myself have been requested as a friend on Facebook by people I recognize from high school, but I know for a FACT that they don't know who the hell I am. As for teasing the significant other... technically that's the devil's advocate look on what most of the others have been saying, so I won't pick that apart. Again, I really DO like how you're looking at things, but just recognize the possible other side to it (which I'm sure you do, you were just pointing out the other side to the other posters here).

You obviously weren't dating her, so really, that's way ******* creepy, no matter how much you love her. YDI. Should the object of your affections be reading this: RUN BITCH RUN! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!

UM. You might want to start by asking her if she'd like to get a coffee with you first. Then work up to drinks, dinner, actually dating, and then, MAYBE, try this. You know why? Because nothing screams "I am a desperate creepster and have given no thought to what a lifelong relationship is supposed to be about at all!" like being proposed to by someone you're not dating and doesn't know you at all.

yeah, yeah he should've dated her first. But isn't that a beautiful gesture he made? Maybe I'm supposed to act like I don't know my boyfriend, and then he might do something half as romantic as that....or even desire to propose to me. I know, that sounds pathetic. But the point is - this guy really knows romance. Too bad he doesn't have a good girlfriend to accept it :(

okay so he said "the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her" sounds like a stalker to me
