Today, I jokingly asked my boyfriend to marry me, because it's a leap year. He is now avoiding me for fear that I was serious. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. Three hours later, he called me to tell me he was kidding. 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
Today, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She pretended not to hear me. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were making fun of a photo album on Facebook containing pictures of two friends who just got engaged. I jokingly asked her to marry me. She said yes. We have been dating for two months. She's not in on the joke. FML
Today, I proposed to my boyfriend. He laughed at me and said that proposing is a man's job, not a woman's. FML
Today, I proposed to my boyfriend. He said yes, but is now sulking because I took away his "manhood". Jeez, sorry I didn't want to wait another 7 years for you to finally do it. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked his friend to propose to me for him, because he was too nervous to do it himself. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. I said yes. This caused him to panic, excuse himself, then take it back via text message a half hour later, claiming he'd been drunk. We live together. When he comes back home, it's going to be very awkward indeed. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML

Why would you do that? That means you would only celebrate your anniversary once every 4 years. Nice one.

Um usually when asking someone to marry you, you don't expect to do it that day.

Girls should never ask, no matter what day it is. It makes the guy look like a pussy. Call me an old fuddy duddy but the guy should be the one marrying the pussy, not the other way around :/

5- You're ******* retarded. 70- I'm pretty sure OP said she was "jokingly" asking her bf to marry her.. Maybe u should read the FML before you comment something stupid like that ^
Justy101 23
I was going to agree with you, but then you said "Let the guy ask the pussy." You're kind of a dick head, aren't you.

Very few men would enjoy this "joke".

Yes, the 17 year old is crusty. Douchebag, go find a new bag to douche with!

80 - is that like "jokingly" asking for a free 'cheat day' from the relationship cuz the leap day technically doesn't exist so neither does any consequences of 'leap-cheat day'? I mean, c'mon. All jokes are half true. She was trying to pull an' inception' on him... But I think guys are smarter than that and also they can smell desperation from a mile away. Sorry OP but YDI. You have to let a man be a man. If he hasn't asked, it's not the right time, even if it was a joke.

83 but being a ******** is cool

100- I don't think you are understanding the word joke. It means to not be serious about something.. Like marriage. OP wasn't seriously asking to get married, just like if she had asked for a "cheat day" she wouldn't have been serious either. The joke was that she reversed the roles, she wasn't actually trying to get him to marry her because obviously that's not how it goes in most relationships. So does that mean should OP, or anyone for that matter, never try to make a joke again for fear of being viewed as "desperate"? And I have to disagree with your comment on all jokes being half truths, because that's just bullshit. When I joke about something, it is the farthest thing from being a "half truth." I think maybe you just don't have a sense of humor. Or a brain.

100- why is it desperate when a girls wants to marry a guy? But not desperate when a guy wants to marry a girl, no then it's "romantic". Ridiculous double standard.

106 - Theres loads of ridiculous double standards, most situations are riddled with them.

Lol

100 - you know what? You're right. She should joke about marriage with him all the time. It's not like girls are notorious for life planning the next 20 yrs with a guy even if they just met and know nothing about him..so he would have no reason to take the joke even remotely seriously. Great advice. She should joke about babies too. I bet that'll really tickle his funny bone because, I mean, it is just a joke and everyone loves jokes that aren't even remotely linked to truth or real life decisions.

then you guys should ******* get around to it!

Commitment is more frightening to man than anything. Typically the human male will resort to animal instinct to avoid commitment, check caves, burrows and brothels OP, your man is on the run!

Look here, a man hating neofeminist. Go burn your bra somewhere else. Men are capable of commitment, you just scare the ones capable of it away because you think you're better than them.

That would require the couple to get married on leap day, not just engaged.

When I say "shotgun" you say "wedding".

It's not a good sign that he avoids you because of that, is it? Even if you were serious, he should still show some decency and talk with you. Avoiding you isn't too brave.
downtime 13
If he thinks shes serious he may be avoiding her while he thinks things over. Not everyone likes being confronted with a life changing question and answering on the spot. He also may have found that question really put his life into perspective. Some people don't like to talk about their personal issues until they've had time to reflect on them themselves.

That isn't something to joke about. If you was not serious, you shouldn't thrown it out there. YDI

Everything is something to joke about.

He is looking for a ring maybe?
zombicidal 11
its not really something you joke about he could think it would start as a joke and then you'd see how he took it and get more serious

I hate when people call me a perv for being a guy. Hiding somewhere in the girls locker room is being a perv. Putting a camera in your sisters bathroom is a perv. (Look at Zombicidal's profile description)

He needs to be shipping for your gift

Shipping off to Boston? Awesome song, but I don't see the connection.

Though it would be cool for a leap year anniversary, I think its also a big joke that someone will be mad at along the line. But it is pretty shitty that he is avoiding you OP. Talk to him. Figure out his angle.
zombicidal 11
it wouldn't be their anniversary (unless they celebrate the proposal)
desireev 18
They'd have to wait another 4 years before they got married. It takes longer than a day to get a marriage license.. That's a loooooong 4 years to be engaged to somebody.... Just kiddin'! :)
