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

I'm confused. Were you two at least going out?

Were you two dating at all? Or did you just decide to propose out of nowhere with no prior relationship history?

...It sounds like you two weren't even dating. That would have been a marvelous way to ask her on a first date. Try that with another girl and remember! Relationship -> engagement -> marriage.

Um... were you even in a relationship with this girl? She wouldn't post something on facebook about a geek from high school if yall were ACTUALLY together... It just sounds pathetic that you would propose!

Okay, some indications that they do at lease know each other beyond high school: 1. he said "the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her". Unless this is at their school, they met somewhere else 2. they're friends on facebook. I don't know about you, but I don't friend creepy guys from HS. Did it ever occur to you that some people TEASE! their significant others. example 1: my husband has long shabby hair and a HUGE overgrown beard. I often point him out to people as "that frightening mountain man" example 2: when we got engaged I often referred to my ring as "a prize from a cracker jack box" example 3: I am often referred to as "that skinny loud girl" why? well....we only roast the ones we love.

While I DO like your logic, I'm gonna try and take a "devil's advocate" look at it. 1. It may have been at Prom, or another school-function that took place outside of school; he DID phrase it as "I'd first laid eyes on her" and not "where we met." 2. I know plenty of people who have even actively sent out friend-requests on Facebook for people they don't quite know. I myself have been requested as a friend on Facebook by people I recognize from high school, but I know for a FACT that they don't know who the hell I am. As for teasing the significant other... technically that's the devil's advocate look on what most of the others have been saying, so I won't pick that apart. Again, I really DO like how you're looking at things, but just recognize the possible other side to it (which I'm sure you do, you were just pointing out the other side to the other posters here).

You obviously weren't dating her, so really, that's way ******* creepy, no matter how much you love her. YDI. Should the object of your affections be reading this: RUN BITCH RUN! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!

UM. You might want to start by asking her if she'd like to get a coffee with you first. Then work up to drinks, dinner, actually dating, and then, MAYBE, try this. You know why? Because nothing screams "I am a desperate creepster and have given no thought to what a lifelong relationship is supposed to be about at all!" like being proposed to by someone you're not dating and doesn't know you at all.

yeah, yeah he should've dated her first. But isn't that a beautiful gesture he made? Maybe I'm supposed to act like I don't know my boyfriend, and then he might do something half as romantic as that....or even desire to propose to me. I know, that sounds pathetic. But the point is - this guy really knows romance. Too bad he doesn't have a good girlfriend to accept it :(

okay so he said "the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her" sounds like a stalker to me
