And after all those years, he never told you he was gay? FYL indeed.
For all the people criticising OP for loving a gay guy, SHE CAN'T HELP IT! How many of you have had crushes on people you don't have a chance with? How many of you have loved a guy or a girl that's uninterested? This is the same kind of situation. She likes guys - he's a guy. The end.
Maybe to an extent she can't help how she feels, but the FML specified that she's been in love with him "for years." That's plenty of time to realize that she's not getting anywhere and move on.
If she's been in love with him for years then she should of known he wasn't straight. He might be bi so that would be another reason to be hopeful for so long but since he's in a committed relationship you'd think she'd know and try to move on.
I have a feeling OP is one of those mildly homophobic girls that are convinced if they hang around and dote on the gay guy long enough he'll magically become interested in her.
Sorry op
Pretty sure the FML is that the guy she loves is gay and she knows that they can't be together, not that she just found out he was gay when he practiced his proposal with her.

I don't understand how you could be in love for years, while he's dating someone else and not know, and then think he's actually proposing to you...? I'm a little confused.
The man has been dating another man. OP, despite this, has secretly been in love with him for years. He came to OP to practice his proposal to his boyfriend.
I'm inclined to believe that this guy is bisexual and here's why: if he was gay then it would have been a hell of a lot easier for OP to move on. I know that when I've found out that a crush was gay I got over it fairly quickly because you come to terms with the fact that he will never feel the same way. However, if he's bi then there was still a chance he could feel the same way and so OP has held onto that hope. Maybe all this time she's been hoping that this guy will break up with his boyfriend and go for her and the fact that it could happen has made it much more difficult for OP to let her romantic feelings go. So she never did. OP, I know that unrequited love sucks but it really is time for you to move on. He's clearly very happy and very much in love with this guy and you need to come to terms with the fact that he doesn't and will probably never feel the same way. Sorry you have to go through this though, FYL

You seem to think love is logical. I for one believe that OP is not a complete idiot and knew he was gay and loved him for who he was. You don't just practice your proposal to just anyone. You practice it in front of a person who you trust and will tell you what you want to hear or at the very least nicely give you pointers. They sound like they are close and she possibly loved him before he came out. Her perception of him changed, just not her feelings. Especially if they are best friends and spend a lot of time together, there's reasons people who work together often get involved with each other. There have been more thatn a fair share of "The (insert gender) of my dreams is getting married, too bad I'm not the (bride/groom)" FML. Plenty of people fall in love with someone who is unobtainable. Some people get their rocks off by being with the unobtainable. Until or if OP gives an update, we don't know. To OP- Sorry, but if you felt this way you should have distanced yourself from him when he got a boyfriend. You only hurt yourself.

Plot twist: The "he'll" that we are all reading is actually a typo and the man OP is referring to was actually asking if OP thinks his GIRLFRIEND would say yes to his beautiful ring and heartfelt proposal.
um no, he's probably gay or bi and some how she was clueless to who he was dating.

.....people dont understand humor.......
Didn't multiple things cross your mind when this happened. Like maybe he is joking or bisexual? Or and this is my favorite one: Hey we haven't dated at all or recently why in the world would he be proposing to me?

Well... I didn't expect that "he" at the end.
