Today, I went out with my family and boyfriend for dinner. We were all having a good time, and suddenly at the end of dinner he decides to kneel down on one knee, take out an engagement ring, and say "I choose you, Pikachu," with a straight face. He was serious. FML

I don't think it was such a bad thing. Get over it.

It could be worse, he could've knelt down and said 'So I herd u liek Mudkipz,' presenting you with a plastic ring with a mudkip on it, that was inside a fake pokeball. That was really specific, you say? FML, too. xD

Lol Now i know how to propose to MY GF LOL and lol @185

I think this is insanely adorable! I would LOVE if that happened. Did he nickname you Pikachu? Because honestly, Pikachu's one of the cutest Pokemon. And it was creative, when it could have been bland and unmemorable.

Agreed, completely, except on one point. I think Mew's cuter.

I think that's pretty cute. My boyfriend actually says that to me a lot. It was his facebook status once actually

That's really creative! If you think this is an FML, you are a spoiled brat

People are saying this proposal is original and creative. No. That advert where the guy tied string to his girlfriend's finger, went to the top of the building opposite theirs, then asked her to come to the window and slid the ring down the string onto her finger - that's original and creative. This... is just dumb. And, look. I don't care if the people commenting would love to be proposed to like that. The FML is written by someone who WOULDN'T want such a dumb proposal, and who has a boyfriend who didn't even know she'd hate such a dumb idea. FHL for having a boyfriend who doesn't know her well enough to know that she wouldn't want her lifetime marriage proposal to be Pokemon themed. Perhaps she wanted a truly romantic moment? Maybe you would want that proposal, but this isn't YOUR FML, is it? Not 'I love you and want to be with you forever.' not 'If we spent the rest of our lives together, I'd be the happiest guy alive.' 'I choose you, Pickachu.' Jesus Christ.

yea or just the original romantic "will you take this ring, and be my wife?" no..."I CHOOSE YOU PIKACHU!" that's so romantic... *rolls eyes* maybe if it was a Japanese animation it would be cute.

although you should've said yes anyway :P besides he loves you.

#193 The last paragraph in your post made me puke in my mouth a little bit. Sorry, I'd be really mad at my boyfriend if he pulled the "Happiest guy alive" line on me to propose. Because I know he can figure out a better, more original way.

And this girl feels the same about her boyfriend pulling a Pokemon themed proposal. Different ideas for different people.

Themed is hardly the correct word. All he said was Pikachu. And I bet he only said it because it rhymes.

Agreed. Pokemon themed, wtf? It was a simple sentence. He wasn't wearing an Ash outfit, he didn't propose with a moonstone, the food wasn't grilled Goldeen. I doubt he's looking into wearing Pokemon costumes at their wedding. It wasn't "Pokemon-themed".

Jeez, way to pick apart the most random bit of my argument. It doesn't matter if the word was a little over the top, everyone knew what I meant. The point is that where some people would hate a 'cheesy' romance line, this girl would (rightly so, in my opinion) hate to have her proposal be a line from a kids TV show.

So instead, it's better to say "You'll make me the happiest man on earth if you'll be my wife" bullshit? Please, that line is used in every romance movie ever made. As for our picking the bit of your argument apart, it seems to be you going around the comment board insisting your same opinion on people over and over again.

Depends. If your girlfriend is a big sucker for romance, then yes. That's the better thing to do. If your girlfriend would want a romantic proposal, don't give her a kids show quote. If your girlfriend hates romance, don't give her a 'you make me the happiest guy alive line'. Also, don't act like I'm the only one going on this posting things lots. I'll be the first to admit that I am, I don't have anything better to do. But you and that other person who's name I can't be bothered to check are doing the exact same as me.

Although I have to give the string one credit for creativity, that's about it. you go on this entire rant about how its not creative or original..YES IT IS! How many times have YOU seen it used? The other crap is so overused its ******* cliche. A.k.a NOT ORIGINAL!! It fails. Period.

Yeah, but just because it hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it's automatically good. I could punch my girlfriend's father in the face and then ask her to marry me. It's original, sure, but it probably wouldn't impress her a whole lot.

Did I once claim I wasn't posting a lot? Nope, I don't believe I did. But, I'm not shoving my same opinion down everyone's throat every time someone claims the way he proposed is original.

I've done that, what, twice? Anyway, it's only fair, in amongst all the people insulting her for it.

Send me your boy, alright? I'd appreciate it. Ooh, he apparently misjudged you to have a cute, fun sense of humour and thought you'd like it. Your life is soooo ******, because he, to you, messed up to proposal... guess what? He still wants to marry you. He still loves you. He wants to be with you forever. AND he's adorable and creative. And he really /tried/. He could have just been typical and 'romantic' with the same old recycled, uninteresting, bland bullshit that most guys say. Appreciate him, for Heaven's sakes. Even if the proposal was ****** up- which I don't think it was at all, I love it- then your life STILL ISN'T ******. And you can have your bitchy, frigid, not fun wedding as traditional as you want. And someone still wants to marry you- someone you love, presumably, if you've been with him long enough for him to propose after a family dinner.

You learn from experience. I'm sure your just depressed that you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend at all so you spend your sorry time writing an essay on FML. wow

Maybe when she was a little girl, she didn't dream about growing up to get married in a dress that looks like Pikachu.

Billchilled, way to be a judgmental, presumptuous piece of shit. Go away.

Billchilled we don't like your kind 'round here. You're another who should have your interwebs taken away until you can learn to play nice with others.

Okay, I don't know who else agrees with me here, but if you don't marry him, I will. ♥_♥
