I thought it was cute :)

#49, you're a real prick. Good luck finding a girl to marry you, with that attitude.

To everyone begrudging females here- I'm with you. Seriously. I hate my own gender sometimes. But females are hardly "shallow" and "always wanting" just because the majority of them know they deserve better than mediocre, and won't accept your delusion that lifting a single finger is putting forth a TON of effort with these things and we're never satisfied. You. are. clueless. We're not shallow material-hungry bitches, we just see engagements as romantic (like normal people) and if we are to marry you, you should probably at least attempt to let your intended know how you feel and make her feel special. The majority of us don't expect big giant expensive rings, just something nice that didn't come out of a plastic container in a vending machine shows you put thought into trying to show your S.O. how serious you are. It's not even about being a materialistic bitch, it's about women having some self respect for once, ..and when you want to be a lazy pompous jerk, you call us shallow. Strange. It feels like the 1950's in here!

@72 pretty much sums it up for me..

did he send you a "gift" of a diamond ring, too?

You should hit deny (:

#72 wins.

I definitely don't blame you for posting this FML. All girls are different and have different ideas about how they want to be proposed to, or if they want to propose themselves! Nevertheless, its probably safe to say that most girls, whether or not they'd like a big extravagant proposal, want some kind of Direct real time talk... And being in a long distance relationship would not be an excuse.

deny it. If you accept you are just encouraging him

That does suck, he could have at least asked you irl. Congrats all the same? And #125 - win.
