Love: Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly...

Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of five and a half years to family dinner at a restaurant. After we all had finished dessert, I got down on one knee, pulled out my great grandmother's ring and proposed. The entire restaurant was dead silent. She looked around and then slowly walked out. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML

Wow that sucks. But on the flip side, why would you propose to someone without being at least 99.9% sure they were going to say "yes"?

HAHAHAHA. Great observation. ****** 16. Also, she probably didn't accept because he spent an hour sneaking up on a log. (Check his two other FMLs)

Those other two FMLs are his favorite FMLs, not his FMLs.

I'm so sorry! You must be heartbroken! If you went through all that trouble, and she LAUGHED.. she doesn't deserve a guy like you. Dump the bitch! Good luck with your next, more GRATEFUL girlfriend.

It was probably awkward. Or if they're actually SIXTEEN, then I would laugh too, not thinking he was serious. Don't dump her because she doesn't want to get married to you, duhh. Maybe she's not ready -- especially if she's still a MINOR or in HIGH SCHOOL. heh. FYL, dude.

I couldn't keep dating someone after they treated me like that. she was a bitch not for refusing she had all right to do so but for hurting his feelings on the way she refused it. Laughing and then promply saying "No way!" like that? I can't even get myself to believe she loved him that much in first place. If her problem was not being ready she could have explain that in a nice way damn it. "No way! Ahahahaha"!? really is that the best way to tell someone that we are not ready for something? Ya right. Besides if he really was convinced she would like to get married with him gather their families isn't so much of a pressure... sorry OP FYL.
