Today, as I got down on one knee, and was in the middle of saying, "Will you marry me?" my partner answered a text message. Apparently it was more important. FML

Perhaps you should have proposed via text-message. Either that, or she's giving you a not-so-subtle hint that she's not interested.

Why would she text on a date in the first place? That's just rude. Well, I assume you were on a date somewhere but even if you were at home or whatever, you don't just ignore something like a proposal.
