Over the years, we’ve certainly seen a lot of wild ideas when it comes to GoFundMe.. but is this one just straight up selfish? A boyfriend is trying to crowdfund $15,000 so he can propose to his girlfriend.

Yup.

Here’s the actual write up from the GoFundMe page..

 

In 2017 I have started to realize that teamwork makes our dreams work.  After my 30th Birthday, I’ve received alot excitement about it being time to marry her! I couldn’t agree more. She had a really innovative way to show her appreciation by purchasing 30 gifts for my 30th birthday. So I need a more innovative way to show my appreciation while incorporating friends and family.

I’ve decided to get some help by making this a trending approach. This will raise awareness about the difference between the love we share and the love people have for us. Money for the engagement is your chance to get involved. I’ve heard everything from “I Love Yall” to “You need to put a Ring On It” etc etc. 

After watching Talladega College raise over 400k to attend the Presidental Inauguration I became a devout believer in this method of raising money for things and people you love. By donating $5 dollars or more we can get this campaign trending. I need alot of people to donate a little amount NOT necessarily a little bit of people to donate alot of money. This campaign needs to TREND!

I’ve decided to utilize GoFundMe to let everybody who loves us show us.

Sometimes we can’t quite afford expensive things by ourselves. A lot of people lean on credit card companies and banks (that overcharge them) so that they appear to do nice things for people they love by themselves.

My approach is a little different. We have friends, family, and colleagues that don’t mind passing up a drink or a sandwich to help out. Anything helps. All proceeds will go to the purchase of a beautiful engagement ring one that WE ALL can be proud of. Call me crazy but Love is Free Not Engagement Rings and Weddings.

 

He is having a rough time raising the funds it seems through the site though, as he only has about $600 so far…

Eek.
