Proposal, Awkward and Love: Jumping the gun

Jumping the gun

By Storm - 23/09/2011 03:05 - Canada

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. 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, my boyfriend asked me out to dinner, which we never do. While at the restaurant he gets down on his knees, looks me in the eyes, and pulls out a little box. He opens it and inside is a note that says 'We're Done.' He then leaves me at the restaurant with the bill and the $2.00 box. FML

Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. 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, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. 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 took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

I had a boyfriend that did the exact same thing, but at least he had the excuse of being only 15.

this dude would be a perfect match to the girl in the FML which talked about a girl planning a marriage with her boyfriend after 3 days of being together.

What if he was the one and you rejected him and now you'll be a lonely cat lady forever?

OP: 2-weeks of dating does NOT equal "BF" status. After 2 weeks, you're still "dating"; I hope you haven't been ******* this dumbass.... (I can only presume that's why he wanted to get married -- you're probably his "first".) Secondly, NEVER go on a "date" without your own cash / credit card for a taxi ride home. Or the phone number of someone to call in case of an "emergency" like this. I'm surprized your parents didn't teach you this stuff when you were 16.

While I agree with you to some extent and I never consider a girl my "girlfriend" after just 2 weeks, even if I really liked her and wanted her to be more than a casual fling it doesn't mean it's not possible. You don't know the circumstances, how many times they've gone out during those 2 weeks or if they straight up had a talk about mutual desire for monogamy. The rest however is completely right - Always be prepared!
