The sign reads “Convince my boyfriend to propose to me.” Harry: How long have you guys been together? Her: 7 Years. Harry: I can’t help you.

CupcakeBrigade88 · 2021-09-27T03:00:02+00:00

I feel like after Harry said, "I can't help you," he was just trying to make the girl feel better. But he knew what was up. You could tell on his face.

He knew this guy was NOT going to do it. Not now. Not ever.

Platipus6 · 2021-09-26T23:50:44+00:00

The more you chase and pressure and let him know, the more secure he feels. He has no need to commit! He has you already!

lilac-hiraeth · 2021-09-27T04:45:17+00:00

My ex boyfriend was proposed to by his girlfriend about 5 years in and he said yeah. 3 years later she still doesn’t have a ring and they’re not married, still renting their apartment and talking about “maybe having a kid one day”. He’s almost 40.

Nope.

LizzoSaidTruthHurts · 2021-09-26T23:22:19+00:00

He then went on to try to pressure him into proposing but my first instinct was the same as Harry’s. As the video goes on, the guy says he didn’t propose because they just moved in. After the concert, he apparently he said “he is working on it.” This girl needs some real girlfriends who aren’t going to let her embarrass herself like this.

jjlew922 · 2021-09-26T23:39:45+00:00

This is so sad and really gross at the end of the day. To show up with a sign like this, and he knew about it, it’s like a weird power play that screams this relationship sounds dysfunctional at best, toxic at worst.

I have friends and even my sister who have succumbed to forever girlfriend status as they “progress” slowly over the years. There’s nothing I can say and over time everyone makes their own decisions and has their own needs so I let it be. But damn the anxiety I can see sometimes I believe is directly linked to living in an insecure environment with a man that claims commitment but fear of marriage. It makes very little sense and if he struggles with it cause of his upbringing, get therapy and rise above is my opinion.

DivineGoddess1111111 · 2021-09-27T02:47:42+00:00

This is so embarrassing. Leave Lucas! Bet he doesn't propose, even after this.

MySonderStory · 2021-09-27T00:18:19+00:00

This is cringy. Imagine being her, so proud of this sign, bringing it to see your idol’s concert, only to have him feel so bad for her to publicly help pressure her boyfriend to propose. Clearly there are a million people at his concert and it was bad enough of a situation that Harry noticed this in a sea of signs. Was that not a sign for her to wake up to the reality that he’s not that into her?! If the man was into her, that would’ve been the perfect moment to propose as a last minute cop out and that bf still didn’t

windowseat4life · 2021-09-27T04:45:43+00:00

I was at his show a few days ago in St Paul when a lady hada sign "should I text him" - Harry asked the audience & it was a unanimous NO even though we didn't have any info about the situation yet 😅 at the end Harry said "if he's playing games then TRASH TRASH TRASH"

Greatest moment ever & SO TRUE 😂

Confused_One_ · 2021-09-27T00:31:58+00:00

He said he can’t help because he already knows it ain’t happening.

DifferentBar6 · 2021-09-27T00:26:22+00:00

Why even bother to be with a man like this? Less hassle and embarrassment to be alone

arnezuara · 2021-09-26T23:52:33+00:00

Embarrassing. Forever girlfriend or not, I don’t understand why some women flaunt their LV man’s inability to propose to them.

crapcakes0987 · 2021-09-27T03:37:15+00:00

I just watched “He’s Just Not That Into You,” and Jennifer Aniston was in a forever girlfriend relationship for 7 years with deadbeat Ben Affleck (also a LVM in real life), who did not believe in marriage. She breaks up with him because she wants the marriage and then he comes back to her to help her with her sick dad (he was just washing dishes) and she is like, “Ben I want you back, you really care for me.” 🙄 They get back into a relationship and she says, “I don’t need the marriage part, you are the love of my life.” Ben is like, “great, awesome, wonderful!!!” Then at the end, he finally fulfills her wish to propose to her and they get married… she should have thrown the ring in his face. She even gave up the marriage part willingly even though she wanted it so bad because BeN AFfLeCk iS sO wONdErFuL. Jennifer Anniston’s character was such a pickme that she kept getting triggered over marriage talk from others but refused to do anything for seven years.

Such a dumb movie full of pickmes and LVM. Literally, the women go against everything we say here. The only character that really won at the end was Jennifer Connelly’s even though she was also a major pickme. They did give a few good advice tips, like “if he is not calling you after a date, he is not interested” and maybe a few others but the characters contradict the advice at the end. Watch this movie and see how hard you cringe.

Edit: Harry is a real one by the way. Even he sees the scrote-dacity!

queensage77 · 2021-09-27T01:59:43+00:00

I would not waste my time with Harry Styles asking him dumb questions like this.

ScrappleSandwiches · 2021-09-27T02:03:37+00:00

Oh girl NO. Seven years?! How humiliating, desperate and sad.

Nonsluttymen · 2021-09-27T05:14:08+00:00

Girl… if he needs convincing… he ain’t the one.

glowmilk · 2021-09-27T08:45:38+00:00

Username checks out lmao. Lizzo said “Truth Hurts” and it really does. I hope the woman realises she deserves better…

Valentcat · 2021-09-27T13:21:29+00:00

I never understood the appeal of Harry Styles, but honestly, I do now. I like his humor, and he handled this kindly, even though I think he knew exactly what was up (just like we do).

raqueloli18 · 2021-09-27T00:51:17+00:00

Oh my god, this is so embarrassing, imagine to hold some sign that says that besides your boyfriend.. as he laughs in your face about this

TZMAV94 · 2021-09-27T05:59:34+00:00

There was one where the sign read "Should I text him?" he basically said if you have to ask that question you shouldn't. "TRASH, TRASH, TRASH".

smittydoodle · 2021-09-27T00:35:06+00:00

Harry is starting to look like Jude Law (in 2021).

tyhuguez · 2021-09-27T04:57:18+00:00

i was there at the concert last night and me and i’m pretty sure everyone there had such second hand embarrassment during the whole interaction. the boyfriend was just nodding at Harry the whole time and not budging. The girl said that she made the poster and the boyfriend didn’t know initially but she told him and he still didn’t do anything. i feel like that should be a big sign that will not do it anytime soon and encouraging and pressuring him is gonna make him not want to do it anymore

mini_eggs12 · 2021-09-27T04:03:29+00:00

This is so so EMBARRASSING for the girl omg. Just think the dude was there when she wrote the sign, and they took photos together with the sign like girl … please have some self respect 😭😭

SpectralCadence · 2021-09-27T08:47:36+00:00

yeah it doesn't have to be now you can just future-fake with her and waste 7 more years of her life teehee

Novemberinthechair · 2021-09-27T13:45:52+00:00

He's waiting for someone better to come along. She'll do for now.

intergalacticanon44 · 2021-09-27T07:44:49+00:00

Oh no he was there?????😭

Noemie_Mathilde · 2021-09-27T02:20:16+00:00

Don't make signs, work on your scrotation.

kingneeko · 2021-09-27T09:20:29+00:00

Totally off topic but I get major David Bowie vibes from Harry in this new style of his

shedipity · 2021-09-27T12:21:59+00:00

If a man wants to marry you… he will propose and marry you. Otherwise you’re just convenient and he thinks he’s secured you.

(Unless you’ve already discussed you don’t want marriage but that’s not relevant in this case lol)

DeepestWinterBlue · 2021-09-27T04:14:17+00:00

Spoiler: Lucas is there for Harry Styles ;)

LinguaFranka · 2021-09-26T23:58:40+00:00

I’d be so embarrassed. Where are her girlfriends?!

lansburysoda · 2021-09-26T23:52:26+00:00

Harry is currently dating Olivia Wilde who broke up with her NVM ex after something like 7 years together and at least 2 kids. He didn’t propose. Olivia freaking Wilde! These men need to grow the fuck up. Shit or get off the pot

spinsterchachkies · 2021-09-27T16:46:28+00:00

Harry Styles is looking like a hot 35 year old in David Bowie’s old clothes. I dig it though. I wouldn’t say no

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-09-27T06:45:18+00:00

If he needs convincing after 7 years, he's not the one.

xD_itgoes · 2021-09-27T01:43:17+00:00

The cringe. Holy shit.

Odd_Studio_1919 · 2021-09-27T10:46:51+00:00

I saw this on TikTok and am so glad it made it to FDS. How sad and embarrassing for the girl. I hope she finds someone better.

Connect_Peanut_7308 · 2021-09-27T09:39:13+00:00

Dump the man if he doesn’t care about your happiness and you have to pressure him to do something as basic as propose ..

yfunk3 · 2021-09-27T02:32:02+00:00

Lucas is a piece of shit. Harry needs to find her a newer, better boyfriend who won't constantly be waiting for someone better to come along.

Biracial_tooth_fairy · 2021-09-27T01:28:40+00:00

If only Harry gave my ex this talk when he wouldn't budge after 5 years.

Or not. Fuck my LVX 😂

elvendorking · 2021-09-27T03:18:35+00:00

The 2nd hand embaressment I just got. Jesus.

hitormissmwah · 2021-09-27T03:15:38+00:00

As a huge Harry Styles fan seeing him in October…. why would you spend so much money on pit tickets for a scrote?! UGH! Bring someone who loves Harry stop wasting your amazing tickets on men like this!!!

NoOrdinaryLifeXO · 2021-09-27T14:42:29+00:00

7 years? Yeah, byeeee

PasDeTout · 2021-09-27T14:48:06+00:00

This was just humiliating all round. Lucas is going to backtrack. You can’t convince someone to marry you, especially after seven years. They either want to or they don’t.

eleguagirl · 2021-09-27T11:32:56+00:00

I’d rather jump into a woodchiper feet first than ask a guy to marry me.

shadowzofsam · 2021-09-27T00:26:29+00:00

Who's "Harry"? Did this happen at a concert or something from like Vegas?

But yeah no I wouldn't be asking anybody to convince my boyfriend to propose to me. That should've already happened by if it was gonna happen and not because some dude in red told him to idk

cantsextihavebills · 2021-09-28T13:27:52+00:00

Men know the second they meet you that you are the one they want to be with.

My father, grandfather, great grandfather, and even my ex husband all said the same. They knew they were going to marry the woman they did from the first moment they saw her.

It doesn't even take a year- they know. They don't debate which car, computer, games, clothes, food, etc. they're going to get for a year. They already know. Men are decisive creatures, regardless of what they've led us to believe.

Partypuppers · 2021-09-27T18:22:59+00:00

She even brags that she bought him the shirt her bf is wearing (the one that Harry compliments). I'm not saying you should never gift your partner anything, but I feel like this is definitely NOT the flex she thinks it is in the context of her whole relationship.

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-09-27T06:45:02+00:00

If he needs convincing after 7 years, he's not the one.

Professional-Pea-317 · 2021-09-27T03:30:35+00:00

Who is "harry"?

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-09-27T06:45:34+00:00

If he needs convincing after 7 years, he's not the one.

Comfortable-Law80 · 2021-09-27T03:30:01+00:00

Who is harry?

catchaleaf · 2021-09-27T12:34:40+00:00

If they started dated at a young age, then 7 years is fine. Otherwise this stuff seems so pathetic to any normal person. Like I know adults in 10year relationships and the guy has no intention to marry her, he may even have kids with her but that’s where he draws the line. It’s actually psychologically abusive behavior of dangling the carrot & goal switching when he started off promising they would be end up married.

BlipBl0pbl00p123 · 2021-09-27T03:04:41+00:00

Is that Barry Manilow? He looks 80 years old.

redditispoison12345 · 2021-09-27T05:10:33+00:00

Wjo is this guy?

emptiness1017 · 2021-09-27T21:24:47+00:00

He saw her make the sign. He knew she had the sign. He was next to her through the entire exchange.

If he wanted to marry her, he would have already had plans to ask her and that would have been the best opportunity.

This should be her wake up that she deserves better and to never wait for anyone to start your life.

the_ghost_of_ · 2021-09-27T16:35:42+00:00

I just want to say - How have I been alive this long and never knew this guy had a British accent? He's suddenly much hotter.... Especially because he recognizes this LVM's behavior, LMAO.

spatchE4 · 2021-09-27T01:49:12+00:00

Yeah harry can go and marry her so she can have his kids cheat on him then take everything hes got while poor Harry is left by himself paying child support trying to make due with the bills

Title	The sign reads “Convince my boyfriend to propose to me.” Harry: How long have you guys been together? Her: 7 Years. Harry: I can’t help you.
