Around age 7 I was obsessed with Transformers. When my parents bought a Suburban I was convinced it was Optimus. I would lie down in the third row and talk to him. We were going to get married.

I was 8 years old when I went into my parent's bedroom one morning while my parents were still asleep and saw my Dad had a boner. I totally freaked out, woke my Mom up by dragging her out of the bed, and called 911 because I thought it was a chestburster from Aliens.

My husband is rolling his eyes at me. "Gee thanks! You made me sound like a moron."

A guy I was friends with chose a couple of days after my sister's death as the perfect time to tell me he loved me. I called him to tell him she died and he was like, "I'm on my way," ignored me telling him he really, reaaaally didn't need to drive 6 hours to come to my house, and then kept trying to cuddle up to me…

My freshman year of college, one of my guy friends (who was a senior) and I went to a movie, got drunk, and afterwards he told me he had feelings for me, wanted to date me, and wanted that dating to lead to marriage. I was dealing was some mental health stuff after the death of my brother a few weeks before, and told…

So my story didn't really count, so I'll post it here, the story of how I ALMOST said no, kind of by accident.

An ex-bff of mine moved out-of-state "for work" but really it was because she heard that state had a lot of eligible bachelors. She eventually found a guy and got married about 4 seconds after they got engaged.

I said no to a marriage proposal once actually.

We were 18 or 19. He was bi-polar heroin addict *not* seeing anybody for help so... not an ideal situation. One night we were watching a movie in bed and all of a sudden his face lit up and turned to me like "Let's get married! Everything would be easier if we were…

I know someone who has been engaged maybe 3 times. They've all happened wildly fast, and ended the same. She's not that great, and I'm all, "How do you keep getting men to propose to you?!"

uh

Ugh, go away.

i smile and laugh in really uncomfortable situations, particularly ones that i'm not directly involved in? like as an observer? so i look so cunty and really i just want to melt into a pile of mush bc of the awkwardness.

I laugh when I get really angry which is unfortunate especially when I'm trying to get my kids to take me seriously.

I just laughed so hard at that my dog came into the room to investigate.

if she won't be your girlfriend why would she be your wife?

I was a sophomore in high school. I said no. He threatened to kill himself. I laughed in his face.

We dated over a span of seven years with a couple of breakups and makeups in between, but it had been a number of years since we'd dated, let alone hung out. When my big 30th birthday blowout bash rolled around, I invited him along with a few hundred of my other closest friends. His rsvp was a surprise. I hadn't…

How about: did you find out that your fiance was also engaged to another woman? I know of two (2!) people who found themselves in this situation.

When I daydream about my future-engagement, this is exactly how I imagine it goes.
