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...

I find this not so FML. Y'know, it was a different surprise, something he probably thought you would like, and a way of announcing it to all your friends at the same time. Perhaps he should be saying FML because he asked someone to marry him who couldn't appreciate what she was given, no matter how it was expressed. I feel sorry for him, as a matter of fact.

This shows a major lack of maturity on his part. I highly doubt he can handle this sort of committment if that's how he goes about asking. And the people saying 'at least he asked' are most likely the girls planning an elaborate wedding before having a groom. There are too many comments on here hating on women though. I'm female and it disgusts me that so many girls are more excited to walk down the aisle than about who they are planning to spend the rest of their lives with. Not all women want a flashy ring, way of engagement, or outrageous ceremony, but that doesn't mean they should accept the least amount of effort either. A ring isn't important to me and I think there's a variety of ways to show that you love someone and want to commit without it or even a wedding, but you have to at least be able to see that your partner is on the same level emotionally. I'm not getting that from this proposal.

TBH, I think people shouldn't be engaged until the way the proposal happens becomes trivial. I know I wouldn't do what your bf did, but maybe he has a different personality, that's for you to judge. IMO, if you're expecting him to be romantic and all and he's not that way, you're being the asshole, not him. Maybe he has a sarcastic sense of humor, and thought that it was original. I mean, he didn't write it on the wall with his own feces or anything. It's not that big of a deal.

i think thats like a real original way to do it, got you by supsise, what more do ya want??? lol

he probably just thought he was being really adorable :/

Why the **** would anyone propose and NOT BE THERE to see the other person's reaction? ******* stupid. He probably thought he was being really cute -_-

I proposed to my wife first over phone. Yuck. It was nobody choice. Immigration service made me to do it; they did not want to let her again into the country where I was staying. Life is never easy. We are together over 10 years!
