Today, I went to dinner with my girlfriend of 2 months. This would have been great, had I not been nodding absentmindedly when she suggested that we start planning our wedding soon, because "she's always dreamt of being married on the same day as Brad and Angelina." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend started to plan our wedding. We've been going out for 3 days. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke up in the middle of the night, crying. When I asked her why, she said that she had a dream where we were getting married. FML
Today, my fiancée suggested a 'Back To The Future' - themed wedding. FML
Today, the girl I've been dating for two weeks brought up the topic of marriage, then started asking me when we're moving in together. FML
Today, I'm planning my big sister's wedding. My long-term, live-in boyfriend walked by and saw me looking at the wedding tab on Pinterest, smirked, and said, "Don't get your hopes up." I had. FML
Today, after nearly six weeks of seeing a nice girl, we finally decided to make it official. Two hours later, she pulled out a bridal magazine and not-so-casually asked me which wedding location I thought was the nicest. FML
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 decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. FML
Today, the love of my life said, "You’d make a great husband! Whoever marries you in the future is gonna be so happy!" We’ve been together for 4 years and was planning to propose on her birthday in two weeks. FML
Today, my girlfriend fell asleep while I was proposing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She was testing you. ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION, OP.

In order to perfect the art of not listening to one's girlfriend, a gentleman must feign interest while never nodding or using phrases like, "that sounds great," or "of course dear." Further, there are keywords which should immediately focus one's attention. The principal words in this list are "wedding," and "married."

It'll be fine. Nodding doesn't necessarily mean a proposal. If she brings it up just say that your not ready or there is a lot to consider!

Or you can tell her that you'll support her fantasy if she supports yours. Then tell her you want your first marriage to last the same amount of time that Britney Spears first marriage lasted.

That's why you should pay attention. If it wasn't just a test and she's being serious, tell her you don't want to rush the relationship and you just want to see how things go.

I don't always pay attention when me husband talks sometimes your mind wanders and you don't want to be rude and admit it so you nod. My husband know's I can be a total space cadets sometimes. You'll be fine... if she isn't a crazy bitch....... Nvm

Sir, Gentlemen seeking to perfect the art of feigning interest in the ramblings of one's girlfriend must know when a particular word is of concern. The words "children" and " kids" are only of concern when following "marriage," "married" "i'm pregnant" or proceeding "with you." If one focuses too soon on "children" or "kids" one will be subjected to paying undue attention to stories about a girlfriend's sibling's progeny. This is time better spent reflecting on the score of a sporting event or the cleavage of one's girlfriend, (or some other attractive female).

Just look like you're paying attention by looking in her eyes and nodding.

That's what you get for not paying attention to the crazy woman you're dating.

who would come up with something like that you should have paid attention OP .. now your doomed unless u think of something quick
MatteKudasai 17
OP's girlfriend would come up with something like that.

Perhaps she was joking, or maybe she wasn't, but you should have been paying more attention to someone you love rather than actually absently ignoring her. Next time maybe, you'll be able to stop her in her tracks before she gets to the "marriage part" and divert the conversation, if you pay attention. Still, FYL. Definitely sounds unfortunate.
