A bit cowardly?
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 of five years proposed to me in front of my entire family. He later confessed that it was part of a dare with his friends because, "There was no way you'd say yes." Guess who has to explain this to all my relatives? 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

I can understand being nervous to ask however he needs to buck up and do it. Hopefully you said "only if HE asks ME, not ask someone else to do it for him."

You ever stop to think that this dude may be socially anxious, a little bit awkward, terrified of rejection and could be under a lot of pressure and maybe that's why he got his friend to propose, instead of doing it himself? Not everybody is blessed with charisma and social aptitude.

He wasn't ready to propose then. If you have to send your friend to propose because you're nervous about your partner saying "No." then you aren't ready to be married. You aren't comfortable being open with the person you claim to want to spend your life with.

still pathetic.

perhaps not, but I'd wager a guess a marriage in which the two people can't talk to each other, won't likely work out

He thinks he's ready to be *married* to this person and "social anxiety" is a reason to not propose himself?

You gotta stop smoking. Every time you post you seem even dumber than the last time. You seriously sound stupid.

OP dump him, but YDI how do you stay with a guy for 2 years that gets that nervous I'm sure there were signs before hand.

That should insinuate to you how much he loves you!
