This troper was once talking to a friend, when her guy friend this troepr had never met walked up. This troper and the guy friend started talking, and she did this to him. The kicker? We've now been married for 8 years.

This is TruthInTelevision. In a possible subversion, one of my friends did indeed get married over one of these. They didn't actually file any of the paperwork and it was mainly to say that they had done it, but still.

This troper has done this. While he waiting for a bus, a girl struck up a conversation with him (by mentioning a flyer for an organization she belonged to). She turned out to be a fellow geek. Eventually, the following dialogue occurred: #QUOTE#'''Me''': Which FinalFantasy is your favorite? #QUOTE#'''Her''': Six. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Will you marry me?

This troper can top you: she and her boyfriend first became friends talking all night about FFVI. We've just set a wedding date.

At a con, a mild variation happen to this troper's sister, who wasn't even ''present'' during the conversation. She was, however, cosplaying. A brief recap as follows: #QUOTE#'''Me''': Hey Squall, can I take a picture of you? #QUOTE#'''Him''': Sure! #QUOTE#'''Me''': If you'd run into me an hour ago, you would have met my sister. She's Rinoa. #QUOTE#'''Him''': Really random, but does she know the dance? #QUOTE#'''Me''': ...Actually, yes. She's been looking for a Squall who knows it all day. #QUOTE#'''Him''': ''I am going to find your sister and kiss her!''

This troper as well. The first time she met the guy she has been madly in love with for going on four years now, we talked for four hours straight after discovering that we were the only people we knew who actually went to bookstores ''solely to sit and read books''. No marriage proposal actually occurred, but by the end of that conversation I had made up my mind that I was going to marry him... someday. I haven't changed my mind yet and doubt I will.

A variation of sorts: This troper's family has a classic recipe we call "Will-You-Marry-Me Cookies".

This troper was meeting in his school's choir room for a club that takes place there and the choir class was disbanding. One of the girls in the choir sat at the piano and started playing the theme to Mario at which point this troper got down on one knee and mimed opening a box with a ring in it.

This Troper recalls saying something to the effect of "Marry me, angel of mercy" to a girlfriend who handed him a bottle of water in the parking lot for hiking/backpacking up (and down, as he had just done) San Jacinto. It was good a for a smile and a kiss, but that's not the girl I gave a ring to.

This troper was at a party watching some folks do karaoke, and was massively bored. Out of the clear blue, a really cute, really nice stranger sits down and a three-hour conversation commenced which covered everything from the sad attempts of the singing around us, to the recession, to how to live a meaningful life. Massive subversion in that when we were finished, we said goodbye and never spoke again.

This troper recently invoked this trope upon learning that a fellow -- ''male'' -- cosplayer had actually gone the extra mile and been brave enough to ''wear false eyelashes'' while cosplaying as Kamina.

Happened to me. I was sitting in a Starbucks reading Discworld/MenAtArms when the guy working noticed what I was reading. He asked if it was a Discworld book, and when I responded in the positive, he literally got on one knee and asked me to marry him. Somewhat averted in that a few of the people in the Starbucks though he was actually proposing and started clapping.

Pick a hot, smutty fanfic on the LiveJournal StarTrek communities. At least one comment will contain a marriage proposal.

Not so much geeky unless you find reading cookbooks to be a nerd thing, but this troper has had several conversations that were a variation on this theme: #QUOTE# "Dinner's served." #QUOTE# *guest takes a bite* "Marry me."

Her partner has also been badgered by relatives to not let her get away.

Myself on the TroperTales page for TheWorldEndsWithYou.

This troper met her current boyfriend on a forum about ''DungeonsAndDragons''. We were discussing TabletopGames, VideoGames but also geopolitics, societal pressure and many other subjects with other forum participants. When he found out that this troper was actually female and not a {{GIRL}} (you know, tits or it didn't happen and everything) his immediate reaction has been: #QUOTE# "A female counterpart... Will you marry me?"

Over the course of a conversation, this troper's friend revealed that, as a result of being born in Hong Kong pre-1997, she had a British passport. My immediate response: "Marry me!" (We're still close friends over the internet, but in a purely platonic manner.)

This troper was on her way to her locker, when she noticed a boy was following her. #QUOTE# Boy: Will you go out with me? #QUOTE# Me: I'm flattered, but I dont even know you. #QUOTE# Boy: Oh. Okay then. ({{Beat}}) Will you marry me. #QUOTE# Me: Um... no.

When this troper was in Italy, most of us couldn't pronounce the food well, but the waiter jokingly made us try, anyway. My oldest sister then pronounced hers perfectly. Our waiter's reaction: "Are you married?"

This Troper had an exchange like this in grade 11 upon discovering that the girl he was talking to was also a fan of ''{{ALF}}''. It went something like this: #QUOTE# Me: Will you marry me? #QUOTE# Girl: (mock indignation) Don't you know, I'm already engaged to Alf!

This troper left a comment on a youtube clip of TheGamers, expressing her distress over the 'girls don't play D&D!' stereotype: #QUOTE# Gary Anyanka: *sighs* Girls can be gamers too! I'm a girl, and I happen to love playing D&D. I want to get into more kinds of tapbletop RPGs in college and I really wanna try LARPing. #QUOTE#The Motley Group Of One: Marry me.

I can't imagine dating a guy who didn't game, that'd be so ... weird.

So, this cute guy I've been seeing all of 2 weeks mentions over the phone that he collects unique stuffed animals and keeps them in a pile of fluff in his room as a pick-me-up. Next words out of my mouth are, "Okay, don't run for the hills but...Marry me." I mean, come on! That kind of confident weirdness is incredibly sexy and cuddling was definitely on the menu. Ten year later, the toys are still there, but now I'm his favorite stuffed animal. ;)

This troper has a 15 year old second cousin that lives in Nashville who is basically trying to be "The Next Taylor Swift". Despite my groanings against meeting her, my family finally drove up to visit over winter break. After about an hour of small talk, A.B. and I finally hit our stride and conversed for 3 hours. The discussion lept from religion, to social injustice, to everything in between. Given, she can't write a song or sing to save her life, but she sure is a cool bro. Even complimented my hair.

In class, my classmate Zach was wearing an Abbey Road tee-shirt. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Ooh, nice shirt, I love the Beatles! #QUOTE# '''Zach:''' Hmm... True or false-- Ringo Starr was NOT the original drummer. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' True. #QUOTE# '''Zach:''' What was the original drummer's name? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Pete Best. #QUOTE# '''Zach:''' Who was the other character in Eleanor Rigby besides the obvious Eleanor? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Father [=MacKenzie=]. #QUOTE# '''Zach:''' ''(certain I will miss this one-- everyone does)'' What is the last song on {{Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band}}? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' ''(without hesitation)'' ''A Day In The Life.'' #QUOTE# '''Zach:''' ...will you marry me?

I have done this several times, but I can recall two specifically right now. Once, when a trombone player in my class came up with a magnificent story behind one of the pieces which was a lot better than the ACTUAL story, and here on TV Tropes, on the WMG page for HarryPotter, to whoever made the theory "Barty Crouch Jr. is the Doctor and is trying to prevent the creation of Edward Cullen, who is really Cedric possessed by an undead vampiric alien entity." This is now my canon for all three, don't tell me otherwise.
