Love: Romance is dead

Romance is dead

By Anonymous - 22/09/2009 04:27 - United States

Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him by handing me a ring and telling me, "Okay we're engaged now." I should have seen it coming when we started dating, I went to his house one night and as I was leaving he said, "Okay you're my girlfriend now." FML

Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML

Today my boyfriend proposed to me and I gladly accepted. The first words out of his mouth after getting off his knees were, "I own you now!" FML

The proposal

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house with his family. A kitten walked over to me with an engagement ring tied to its collar, along with a note that said "Marry Me?" I got super excited, only to find out that it was for his brother's girlfriend of 10 months, not me. We've been together 4 years. FML

Today, my boyfriend got on one knee and started talking about how we met. Knowing what was coming, I started tearing up, absolutely sure he was going to propose. Just as I was about to say yes, he quickly stood up and yelled "HAH, JUST KIDDING". FML

Okay, you're divorced now. Okay, you're paying alimony now. Okay, you're a cougar now. Okay, you're dead now. Okay, you're a zombie now.

At the altar, he's probably gonna say "okay, we're married now" rather than "I do"

If this is how he treats you now, how do you think he'll treat you if you actually do get married? Remember, you always have a choice. Feel free to dump him.

That's actually pretty funny. I bet he just LOVES talking about his feelings. ;P But honestly OP, I don't think he'd propose unless he really actually loved you. Unless you both have been dating for a number of years and he just doesn't want to break up. In which case, I'd be pretty leery.

YDI for continuing to date a dude after he already showed a lack of understanding for human interaction and social conventions. What a weirdo.

that could be a cute way he thought he could do it. like when guys propose and they take the girl through the places they met, their first dates, first kiss spot, and such. Maybe since you became in a relationship like that because he was awkward at the time, he thought it would be a cute way to propose.

Dump him immediately!!! My soon to be ex husband did almost exactly the same thing. After you marry him the amount of effort he will put into the relationship will dramatically decrease. And as he is already putting forth really no effort at all, you are screwed!! I'm just waiting for the dead and zombie part now.
