Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I wasn't expecting anything too romantic, but I would have liked something more than an email from Facebook, requesting my confirmation that we were engaged. FML

The internet has taken over.

Oh wow. FYL. that's almost worse then being dumped via facebook, although I'm not sure. a lot of people are going to say ydi because you chose to date him in the first place... But I don't think anyone deserves facebook relationship status changes before real life relationship changes...

maybe he thought he was being really creative and that you might be really surprise he asked you that way. still I agree- I wouldn't want someone to ask me to marry them that way

You know, I was gonna give you a FYL, but I have this sneaking suspicion that you're one of those people that lives on Facebook. And then you jumped straight over to FML when you got the request. If that's the case, I'm not really surprised what happened, happened.

I'm feeling pretty annoyed by all those guys saying women are shallow just because they expect a proposal to be more than a matter of a couple of mouse-clicks. I hope I don't have to stress that getting married definitely is a big deal. A proposal should be the same. I'm sure the OP wasn't expecting "Will you marry me?" to be written in the sky, accompanied by a $1.000.000 ring. All she was asking was being able to look her boyfriend in the eyes while he was popping the question. Is something so small, so easy to fulfill to much to ask?

i agree with #123, OP didn't say anything about "FML, no giant ring!" she said "FML, he can't even propose in the same room!" and while i can kiiiinda see people saying she's whining and at least she HAS someone who wants to marry her, she's not materialistic, at least not so far as we can tell in the post. i don't want to get too into this, but i'd like to say that for every materialistic, bitchy, controlling girl there's a materialistic, bitchy, controlling dude out there. and then there are also cool people who are pretty chill all around... until you ask them to marry them via facebook.

This isn't an FML. I love inappropriate use of technology to ask a serious question, that can greatly affect two people's lives.
