My boyfriend proposed last Friday and I don't know if my expectations were too high or what it was but I was left extremely disappointed by the proposal even though the ring was amazing.This was his proposal:
Every time I look at you I feel like the luckiest guy in the world to call you mine. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted and everything I’ve ever needed and I simply cannot imagine my life without you. You’ve made me happier than anyone should have the right to be and I will love you my whole life if you just give me the chance. Would you make this the best moment of my life by agreeing to become my wife. Will you marry me?
Was I expecting too much?

I was. He proposed to me when he was drunk. I refused and told him to ask me when he's sober. The next day he was putting in a car stereo, laying on his back, underneath the dashboard when he proposed again. It was nothing special, just a "Wanna get married?" It was disappointing, but then again, so was my answer. I replied "Might as well...I know I'm not going to break up with you". UGH!!!!!!

He was absolutely romantic about his proposal and you are disappointed?? We live in the real world not in the movies so yes, your expectations were WAY too high. I personally would have melted if my fiance would have said what your guy said. Not saying my fiance wasn't romantic about it, but your guy had the most wonderful words and you are horrible for expecting more from him. Takes a lot for a man to propose, so give the poor guy a break and just enjoy the fact he loves you enough to propose.

What are you kidding us? Who memorizes the proposal?
Lots of great marriages began with "Wanna get hitched?" In fact I didn't even ask my wife, I stated the fact. "You realize that one day I am going to marry you." We have been happily married for almost 20 years.
Remember this. The proposal is not important, the Shower is not important, the rehersal dinner is not important, the wedding is not important, the reception party is really not important. These things may all be nice, but. What is important is what happens after all of these "pre" things happen. The Marriage is what is important. Too many people focus on all the fluffy crud and forget about what its all about. If you love him and he loves you. If you want to spend the rest of your life together get married. If you are this worried about the proposal and the ring, you might need to think about it before you say yes.

I agree with Mel. That was so heartfelt, and he probably was nervous. I would have cried, wrapped my arms around him, and then ran to the nearest City Hall to get the license.
Well said fungirl.
What were you expecting is what I would like to know??

he poured his heart out to you and you were disappointed. of course you were expecting too much. you're lucky he even wants to marry you. especially since you seem to be such a selfish person. i think his proposal was very sweet and you should be ashamed of yourself for not liking it. i think you should break up with him and give him his ring back so that he can find somebody who is going to appreciate him.

I would say you were...he was nervous and probably scared that you would say no..what he said was very romantic and heartfelt. If someone said that to me I would most likely cry like a big baby!! You should only be so lucky to find someone that loves you that much!

What did you expect? If he was smart, he would take the ring back and run like hell! If you weren't happy with that, you will never be happy with anything! I feel sorry for him!

You certainly were, what more can he have said to express his love, i got" lets get married" and was thrilled. You get a guy speaking from the heart and complain. boy he is in for a tough life with you, you will get worse, not better. one of those women that "B----B----B----" shame on you.

Doesnt sound too bad if you take into account that he is begging you to ruin the rest of his life.

No, mine was great. However, if you didn't like what he said, you could have said NO.
