Love, Proposal and Rings: The Boxer

The Boxer

By single - 27/03/2020 05:15 - Canada

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I checked the box with the ring to make sure it was still there, and saw a piece of paper in it. It said, "No." FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML

Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML

Yes or No?

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

Today, I realized that my girlfriend had never said anything about the proposal ring I had put into a box of her Froot Loops. When I hinted it to her, she said that the cereal had expired, so she threw out the box. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML

Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" FML

You need to buy a bigger ring until she says yes.

I would make sure she wrote that note. 3 years is a long time to invest in someone that you’re planning to say no to.

Some people just don’t believe in marriage, doesn’t matter if it’s 3 years or 30years

I knew a guy where his girlfriend said no after 7 years. he saved for ages so he wouldn't need to be in debt. She said that he took too long and she didn't wanna hurt his feelings cuz she stopped loving him.

Damn.... Better break up than staying loveles for years, she would've made them both a favor :/

AGAIN. Marriage isn't a surprise. You should BOTH know you want to get married, discussed it, planned to marry relatively soon, even planned if she wanted to pick the ring. The only thing that's a surprise is HOW and WHEN you propose. That's it. Marriage isn't a movie, it's a huge commitment that you should already both be on the same page for.

some women won't say it outright and expect to know when she is ready

Then unfortunately, you'd have someone who has no idea what they're really looking for other than excitement. If you've not discussed it and you/other one wants it, bring it up first. Always. Doesn't matter if it ruins a mood. This is your life too!
