Today, in break from tradition, I proposed to my boyfriend. We were at a Japanese Pagoda. Water was trickling everywhere; the moment was perfect. While I was on my knee, after pouring my heart out, he looked wistfully out over the water and said, "So, I was thinking pizza tonight." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years proposed to me. He brought me to our favorite restaurant and ordered expensive champagne. It was all very romantic, until he got on one knee and I farted out of surprise. Loudly. 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 was on a date with my boyfriend when he suddenly got down on one knee and proposed. A waiter tripped over him and spilled our food all over him. FML
Today, at a romantic dinner my boyfriend was treating me to, the waiter brought a "Will you marry me?" cake out, with candles and sparklers. I probably should have checked that they'd brought it to the right table before dramatically screaming ,"Yes!" and jumping into my boyfriend's arms. They hadn't. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of three years on a romantic picnic to the park, so I could propose to her. The moment was just right, I made my move. I knelt down on one knee and asked her. Her response was "you're kneeling in dog poop." I looked down. She was right. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me at dinner, which would’ve been nice if we hadn’t been dating for only two months, and dinner was at Subway. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. While getting down on one knee, he farted. FML

Hey... I live in Iowa! That Japanese Pagoda your talking about is a Chinese Pagoda... And it's next to a sewer dam -.-

Iowa is probably not as small as you think it is.
Jonaahhhh 12
I legitimately live in Iowa... That wasn't sarcasm. I know exactly which place she is talking about.

Maybe he thinks if you guys get married you'll stop doing anal. Just convince him it will continue and get better if you guys get hitched.

I'm all for both genders proposing, but I'd love to propose to the girl I love, it just seems more romantic and traditional. And some of us men, believe it or not, like being romantic.

Yeah because a girl can't propose in a romantic way … do you think the proposal in the FML wasn't romantic enough with the pagoda and rain and shit just because SHE had the balls to propose before him ?

I said "more romantic", not "absolutely no romance comes from a girl". Stop overreacting, I agree women can be romantic when proposing, I guess I prefer the old fashioned way when a guy does it.

And what if your girlfriend prefers to be the one to propose the man she loves in a romantic way ? Would that be less romantic than coming from a guy ? I'm not overreacting I just don't understand how it should be “more romantic” if you're a boy.

137 I would honestly have to say that you *are* overreacting. Just because 63 has an opinion that differs from yours, you're putting him on blast. He said that he would prefer to be the one to propose to his girlfriend, not that his gf can't or shouldn't propose.

Most men don't like being proposed to. Stupid, but true.
FlyingPie 17
Why wouldn't a man like being proposed to? Anyway, how do you know that most men wouldn't like it?

Apparently, she's proposed to most men.

Wow. That man is deep (the teenage boy said sarcastically).

I still don't believe it's a woman's job to propose for marriage, she kind of set herself up. Men say a lot of stuff, that may mislead a woman, just to maintain a sexual relationship.

"Woman's job"? The fifties called; they want their ignorant views back.

87 73 is allowed to believe in traditional gender roles. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's outdated or ignorant. You can simply disagree without getting petty.
itsBEEarOHseekay 12
It's sad that you think there's nothing wrong with "gender roles."
itsBEEarOHseekay 12
Let's tell women and men that only certain actions are acceptable in society based on their gender and try to force them to comply by telling them they are breaking traditions or mocking them. That hasn't created any problems before. I'm sure all genders love following the "rules" laid out for them by stupid traditions and no one has the urge to do something outside of tradition or has to unhappily swallow those urges for fear of scrutiny. Sorry, gender roles ARE wrong. They cause problems. That's not an opinion; check out the articles and studies proving this.

99 I like variety. Men and women are equal but different. I don't think a woman should stay home and raise kids but I do think its okay and preferable to have a man ask you to get married.
RedPillSucks 33
Some gender roles are OK, but some are based on the traditional views of women as property, or their inability to have complex/rational thoughts. Some traditions are outdated and should die a quick death.
carminecris89 13
103 There's fundamental differences between men and women. Men and women are equal but different. Most past traditions aren't needed and are outdated but that doesn't mean every tradition is mean't to keep people down. I don't want children, I don't want to be a housewife, but I do like when a man takes initiative and makes the first move. There's nothing wrong with not disregarding everything past.

Saying men and women have different roles IS sexist. End of ******* story. Unless your ****** defines you, which is pretty sad. There's no “I'm not sexist but women shouldn't propose and men can't wear makeup without being gay”, it IS sexist because you're creating a difference based on a person's sex. Which they didn't choose.

Shut up and cool your **** already.

I would be happy if my girlfriend proposed to me! As long as it happened after we'd been dating long enough.

Hence "in break from tradition."

Ladies, you have every right to ask your man to marry you. But there's one flaw to that plan. if he hasn't asked to marry you, it's b/c he doesn't want to. he's never "waiting" for you to pop the question. so go get a guy you deserve and who WANTS to marry you. For that reason alone YDI.

Way to over-generalise. Men don't just instantly propose as soon as they decide they'd be happy to marry their girlfriends, you know. I know at least 2 guys who definitely want to marry their girls but one has bought the ring and is waiting for the right time (he has been for about a year now, she has no idea he's going to do it). The other isn't going to do it purely because his girlfriend has uni commitments and he wants to wait it out until she's left university and is settled down a bit more. Just because a guy hasn't proposed yet doesn't mean he's not ready for the commitment.
