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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

LMFAO, why did you propose to someone you're not dating? YDI.

She wasn't your girlfriend, she apparently hardly knows you, and you just propose to her? I'm sorry dude, but you're either a creepy crazy guy or just very sad. You probably meant well, but seriously, WTF? Maybe you should try a training in social skills so you can learn to connect with the real world.

If that's true you shouldn't be saying that dude. That's just not okay

You're lucky she just posted it on her facebook and didn't try and get a restraining order (....yet).

Assuming you weren't dating her, are you REALLY surprised about her reaction? I agree with everyone else saying that what you did was psychotic...YDI

"do you even go here?" while that kind of reaction kinda sucks, why would you propose to someone who remembers you as "that geek from high school"? dude...

I created an account here just to say that I pretty much love that Mean Girls reference.

Cady: Oh, god. Janis: You dirty little liar! Cady: I'm sorry, I can explain. Janis: Explain how you forgot to invite us to your party? Damian: Janis, I cannot stop this car. I have a curfew. Cady: You know I couldn't invite you. I had to pretend to be plastic. Janis: Hey, buddy, you're not pretending anymore. You're plastic. Cold, shiny, hard plastic. Damian: Curfew, 1:00 AM, it is now 1:10. Janis: Did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters, listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each others awesomeness? Cady: You know what? You're the one who made me like this so you could use me for your 8th grade revenge! Janis: God! See, at least me and Regina George know we're mean! You try to act so innocent like, "Oh, I use to live in Africa with all the little birdies, and the little monkeys!" Cady: You know what! It's not my fault you're like, in love with me, or something! Janis: What? Damian: Oh, no, she did not! Janis: See? That's the thing with you plastics. You think everybody is in love with you when actually, everybody HATES you! Like, Aaron Samuels, for example, he broke up with Regina and guess what? He still doesn't want you! So why are you still messing with Regina, Cady? I'll tell you why, because you are a mean girl! You're a bitch! Here. You can have this. It won a prize. [Damian drives away with Janis, yelling out the window] Damian: And I want my pink shirt back! I want my pink shirt back! THIS HAS GONE WAY TOO FAR =DDDDD

Okay, this comment made my night. I'm off to watch Mean Girls for the hundredth time.

#124, I'd like to think you wrote all that out from memory. "We gotta crack Gretchen Wieners. We crack Gretchen and we crack the lock on Regina's whole dirty history" "Say crack again" "Crack!" ... "Why were you talking to Janis Ian?" "I don't know, I mean, she's so weird, she just came up to me and started talking to me about crack." What? There's an FML on this page? I didn't even notice.
Jazzywrites007 2
Yes, Straight from memory. =) Argh, I have nooooo life!

If you weren't dating, then yeah, you deserved it. Have you ever seen a relationship, let alone a successful one where there wasn't any prior history? No.

sooo...u proposed to a girl u totally werent dating....um stalker>:o YOU deserve it 4 being a creepy douche... THE REAL FML: "Today some loser from highschool that I havnt seen in two years just proposed to me. I thought he was a geek back then now I'm for sure he's a virgin loser with no time on his hand.FML"
RighteousDiego 0
Cheers, dude, cheers. People (albeit few and far-between) keep on assuming they were dating when his phrasing CLEARLY dictates otherwise. When I first read his FML I was looking for a way to find a real FML for the situation, but I guess I wasn't looking from the right perspective. And that's where YOU come in; there is no FML for him, but HER on the otherhand... well she may have a potential lawsuit on her hands.

Okay.. so... while I think everyone's analysis is probably correct.... I'm going to go out on a limb and give the poster the *drumrolllllll* benefit of the doubt!! Perhaps his FML is that his new Fiance considers something funny a geek in highschool did more worthy of her facebook status than the fact that she just got engaged? Longshot, I know....

If she said yes, then why would he be posting here though?
zargon 1
While that would make more sense as in "I could imagine someone doing that one more", the wording is highly suggestive of the way everyone else is thinking about it. He doesn't say that he's been dating her, but that he's been in love with her (common FML-speak for a crush) and his chosen location isn't one special to them as a couple, but it's where he "first laid eyes on her".

facebook does not equal life. Who cares if she did not write about your engagement on there? facebook is not the best way to tell people you are engaged. She probably would want to tell people in person first.

Trying to be romantic backfired. If you weren't dating… that's creepy. Learn how to date someone first. If you were dating… then she doesn't feel the same way about you, and you never picked up on that. She obviously thought of you as a friend only. Either way, find someone else. And don't act stalkerish.
