I wish!

By WhenRumoursAreBetterThanReality - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - Australia - Belconnen

Today, I got a call from a friend asking why I didn't tell him I was engaged. I'm not, but I wish I was. Rumours about my life seem to be better than the reality. FML

Quit bitching about good rumors, take a page from Nike and Just do it. If your life isn't that awesome, you have the power to make it better. You just gotta put the work into it.

Really? I thought most rumors stemmed from the absolute boredom of people who have nothing else to do but gossip.

At least the rumors aren't mean. Hopefully one day the rumors will turn into reality:)

well the "rumours" could have been started when OP's boyfriend had mentioned to a friend that he was going to propose, maybe the friend let it slip.

On the bright side, the rumors could be much worse! There's silver lining in every situation.

I'm sure you will be engaged soon. I can bet money you're a pretty girl just be confident in your self and smile :)

You must be A) a soothsayer, B) a pathological liar, C) an annoying optimist, or D) trying to get in OP's pants. Whichever the correct answer is, I hate you.

Ha, that's funny, I try to make something negative slightly more positive, and I'm an annoying optimist just because life doesn't **** me off like it does you don't mean I can't be happy or try to make others happy, you're clearly not happy, and there's a reason for that, I'm not going to guess what it is that's making you unhappy but I hope you have someone to change that Am I annoying enough for you?

That run-on sentence was way more annoying than your optimism

Wow, way to be a patronising jerk. Somebody is pretty, so if they just smile and act confident they'll find a man? Personality, intelligence, humour, have nothing to do with it I suppose? You, I'm afraid, are a misogynist, and the worst kind at that - one of those who think that they're actually just being 'nice'.

People seriously need to lighten up to DocBastard's humour. I don't get what's so hard to understand. Side note: I love that GentlemanBastard is the person siding with DocBastard. Good to see bastards uniting! Lol

Kay - I've always been misunderstood. It's a curse or something. Subhaan - You're new here, so I'll be gentle - it's a ******* joke. I don't hate optimists. In fact, I don't hate anyone. Except Chris Brown. **** that guy.

Well maybe make it reality. Not necessarily get engaged but you should try something more adventurous. Boring and normal is.. Well boring and normal.

Turn those rumors into a reality. You don't get engaged with this attitude.
