Today, my bandmate and I decided to propose to our girlfriends, who are also in the band, at the same time in the middle of a concert. His girlfriend said yes. Mine ran off the stage crying. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, I discovered that my ex-girlfriend, who I dated for 6 years, is getting engaged to my friend. The very same "friend" who's been encouraging me to break up with her for the past year. FML
Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML
Today, after waiting 3 months until my friend's wedding was done being celebrated, I announced my engagement. My newlywed friend bitched me out for "stealing" all of the attention and being selfish. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend for another girl. This other girl helped me break up with her so we could date. After it was all done, she promptly rejected me and in front of everyone, saying how much of a douche I was for leaving my girlfriend for another girl. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend of two years expressing my feelings for her. She responded with, "I'm going to bed." FML
Today, as I was planning my impending nuptials with my fiancé, my sister jokingly told him it's not too late to call it off. He took her seriously and bailed. He won’t answer my calls. FML
Today, my best friend told me she was pregnant over the phone. While in the middle of telling her congrats, she told me it was with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I thought I'd surprise my girlfriend with a bear hug. I found her in the hall with her back to me, talking to friends. As I walked up behind her and was about to wrap my arms around her, she said, "So… does anyone have any ideas about how I should break it off with my boyfriend?" FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. It's OK, though, she says we can still go on the vacation I planned next month for our 3 year anniversary, just "as friends." The tickets are non-refundable. FML

Could have been worse. She could have tried crowd surfing her way out of there..

With her running and crying it sounds like Nickelback came on stage right when you proposed. Sorry buddy.

How do you get to the point in a relationship where you absolutly know you want to marry this person and not know if they want the same thing?

Bad move! Not a good idea to do this to a girl. Intimate strings are the way to go, especially if she isn't an attention lover.

It could of been worse, she could of said yes and then tell you no later so you would have to explain to everyone what happened, still though that really sucks

Yeah making a big show of the proposal doesn't go well. A quick search online and you can see the # of videos where it went wrong. The sports one particularly, a lot of people do not like being put on the spot and feel huge pressure to say yes or be thought of being a mean/bad person by friends and family for saying no. Big showy proposal only works if you are absolutely sure and you have to consider the persona's personality and whether they'd even feel comfortable being asked like that. A lot preffer something quiet and romantic .

If she ran off crying, she obviously wasn't ready, and he probably either didn't talk to her about it before or only saw what he wanted to see. As humiliating as it must have been for OP (and believe me, he does have my sympathy), any time you put something that personal out in public, there's a chance it won't go well. I think that 99% of the time, public proposals just put undue pressure on the person being proposed to and turn what's supposed to be a beautiful moment into a performance.

That was a sweet idea though!

It seems like a lot of you are overlooking the fact that she's in a band. I doubt she had a stage fright moment. And stop pushing your preferences onto others. Not everyone thinks it should be a private thing. I'd love it if someone put the effort in to make it a big deal. You just have to know what your partner would prefer and be sure he/she would be okay with sharing the moment with a ton of people.

Interesting observation.

She might be the bassist. Most bassists I know are incredibly shy.
