Love: Attempted romance

Attempted romance

By ItRainedOutside - 06/01/2013 08:49 - United States - Saint Petersburg

Today, after three years with my dream girl, I decided to pop the question by making her complete a scavenger hunt ending in her finding me, suit and everything, by the park bench where we had our first kiss. She came home tired and, instead of following the clues, decided to watch TV all day. 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 going to ask this girl I love to homecoming. I set up a scavenger hunt, and my friend led her through it. At the end of the scavenger hunt I had a note that said, "Homecoming?" She said yes and hugged my friend. When I told her it was me who was asking, she laughed and said no. 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, 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, it was the second anniversary of the day I met my girlfriend. I had to go to work, but I set an engagement ring and a letter on my pillow for when she woke up, and left breakfast for her on the counter. When I got home, she and all of her things were gone. 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, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

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

Great idea but FYL. Maybe next time you should remember to include some motivation.

Marriage and relationships are too important to make it into a game. Invite her to a favorite spot without the scavenger hunt and propose to her there - Just you, her, and a ring.

It takes more effort to do it this way; therefore it's more romantic (in my opinion, at least) and shows that he's really put thought into it and wants to make this once-in-a-lifetime event as memorable as possible. How can you seriously judge him negatively for that?

I think that his results showed that it would have been smarter to ditch the games and go with some honest and sincere communication. Marriage and relationships are not games - They are real and deserve paying attention to the content of the message, not the form.

Yes, you are right #111, mariage is a very serious stuff : instead of the scavenger hunt, he should have invited her to a lawyer office, just so she can be explained all the consequences of saying yes to his proposal....

When doing something like that it is always best to have a close friend there to encourage her to do what you had planned. Very cute idea though!

Simple can be good but he obviously wanted to do something very special and different. I would love if my boyfriend did this or something else original rather than something over done like at a restaurant.
