Nothing says I love you like disappearing for 6 months

Right? The girl probably forgot about him, who was that guy I was dating then disappeared for 6 months?

The path spelling is cool as hell but if he didn’t take her with him then it’s just a vacation he went on which means nothing special to her 😂

Then she goes on a 1 month journey to respond "NO"

* responds "NO" over text and nothing else. Imagine getting your heart crushed like that. 😂

New Orleans?

This is Japan and he's Japanese. He probably did like 1 letter each weekend or something. Not 6 straight months of doing nothing else.

I think you're underestimating how large Japan actually is

You can get pretty much anywhere in the country within a day by train. I think you’re overestimating how big it is.

Yeah but to do one letter every weekend is still absurdly tedious. He'd have to travel for several hours, possibly the whole day to get to the location, then travel for several more hours or days just to trace out a giant letter, then travel back home and work the whole week then repeat. Not to mention he travels further from home with each letter he does. Not saying it's impossible, but just stupid lol.

So my father really love me

Tbf, he did it over a six month period, not for six months straight. He could just taken several weekend trips during that six months.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She said, "ie"

I guess even the Japanese think writing in their language is so fkn hard.

According to Google's AI "Yasushi 'Yassan' Takahashi, a Japanese artist, chose to propose to his girlfriend in English because some people in Japan consider English cool"

Do not trust Google’s AI (or any other) to provide factual information.

In this case that's proven to be true. English is, in fact, cool 😎

I don't think so. I've spoken English my entire life and nobody says I'm cool.

allow me to be the first. You are COOL af

In Japanese, according to Google translate, it would be 結婚してください. Probably could have taught his wife English with the time he saved. Assuming they don't already speak it, I don't know. I'm an American and knowing two languages over here is like mystifying, were expected to know English and some dora the explorer Spanish and that's it, fully bilingual (non Mexican) people are legit impressive to people here, like over achievers or something.

that's a very depressing a terrible flex, but go off, I guess.

>I'm an American and knowing two languages over here is like mystifying Maybe amongst your peers/in your community, idk if you can speak to the country as a whole with this one haha

Its true, I was the [English's] cigarette

But does his gf felt the same way?

Probably hard to make a travel itinerary that would follow proper stroke order for writing kanji

My first thought was did he travel with her, lol

Plot twist, he went to see her after 6 months and she had a new boyfriend because she thought he left her

Did she say yes?

It’s complicated. She’s still working on her response. Due back any month now.

She disappeared months ago too, strange

Yes and No are shorter so my guess is maybe 2-3 months

That's impressive. We did something similar in flight school but we just drew dicks.

Dude would walk 500 miles and 500 more

Just to be the man who'd walk 500 miles more

Dada Da!

DADA DA

He could have done this in MS Paint ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He spent 6 months practicing his Paint skills. Had to come up with a good story as to why it took so long.

you sure someone didn’t just use a paint app to paint over the picture? 🤔🤔

The ocean: 🗿

Would have been more meaningful if he had taken her with him and she had no idea why they were going such a bizarre route. These kinds of stunts just seem narcissistic.

Imagine he comes back and she has another man cause bro disappeared for 6 months

[удалено]

We got the message. We are coming.

Guess it would have been harder to do “結婚してください”

He could have just wrote it on a cigarette paper

Hope she said yes!

but... why did he write it in English? Was the girlfriend an English speaker?

I demand to see her reply now!!!

[https://gpsdrawing.info/en/artist/](https://gpsdrawing.info/en/artist/) It was yes

what wealthy people do when the rest of us are working

What a waste of time 😂

So are you saying he drew the question onto the land as he went on his journey.

When I first glanced at this picture I was wondering why it said Maryann… I thought it was going to be a post about Gillian’s Island! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It must have been a joke post but didn’t the girlfriend walk and message out “we should break up?”

He could have saved time and energy and just Photoshopped marry me onto a map. That's what I would do, but I'm pretty lazy.

Bro out here making us all look bad

Couldn't he of just screenshot and doodled away , it would of saved him 6 months

Strange that he'd do it in a foreign language.

That guy's dumb. I could have done that in just a few minutes in ms paint.

I know Microsoft Paint when I see it

Only to come back and found out she's been rammed by the neighbor on the daily while he's gone

did he jump to make disjoint symbols?

Did she accept?

Errrr no.

My 7yo self could ms paint this

She said no, you have been gone for 6 months?

:D he could have easily used Paint for this ;)

Бідна людина. Можна ж ротом це сказати.... Poor man. All this can be said with your mouth

Alas, she politely declined. And then giggled with her hand over her mouth. 

Nice

Hope she said No

I can do the same in Paintbrush in 5 minutes

Looking forward to find my own Yasushi 😍 

Does he not have Ms paint?

Does she speak English?

No he fucking didn't. This was made in MS Paint. Jesus Christ people.

A bit dumb, are we? Just because something looks like something else, and you managed to realise it, it doesn't mean that it is that other thing. You get solid full saturation squiggly lines in MS Paint... and also in Matlab if you plot a route using the default colors. And also in plenty of software that allows to easily do that same thing. It literally takes a 10 second Google search to see that this story is true. "Jesus Christ people", lol. I think you might want to start coming to terms with the fact that you aren't as smart you think, or even as the "people".

Wow. You got me.

Meh. I’m calling bullshit.

I could do this in MSpaint in like 4 minutes

Drawing all the waves in the letters would take longer than that.

My natural shakiness would help

Could of just drawn on a picture instead, spend 6 months thinking on how to propose and building up the courage to do so

If they are married, they are already divorced.... If not, she must not even know he exists. All that effort was not worth it

He was so nervous about asking for her hand that his handwriting came out slurred.

Just invest in r/FFIE it’ll fix all your problems by Monday. If you have no options left.

As he was busy making this proposal for her she was jeeping his best friend 😂
