Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." 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 proposed to my girlfriend in the food court at the mall. When she said "yes", the entire food court broke out in applause, and my girlfriend and I were escorted out of the mall for "starting a riot". I never knew clapping was a crime. 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

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She didn't say no, she didn't faint, and she didn't cry. She just stared at me blankly and said, "But... why...?" FML

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 proposed to my girlfriend from the top of a bungee jumping platform at an amusement park. I yelled out, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" from the platform, pointing her out. Turns out, I was pointing at the wrong girl. My girlfriend was very angry and ran away when the wrong girl yelled, "Yes!" FML

I feel for you OP, but at least she had the courtesy to not humiliate you in front of dozens of people.

Seems like she's busy pleasing everyone else but you, that's brutal man.

Well OP. Yes, that does suck. But her saying no in front of people would have been worse. She did the respectful thing. At least she said it to your face.

I'm sorry, but proposing in public is usually not a good idea. It makes you look like an ass if you're not ready for marriage and builds pressure.

At least she said no in private, not in front of the cuz that would of been extra embarrassing...

Ohhhhhh noooooo Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to- you my friend are a love struck fool! I'm sure she would have hinted to you if she was ready to be married...most of us women are not subtle about these things. If you love her you need to talk about why she said no.

I feel for you, mate, but... Well... Honestly, I think anyone who proposes in a public way like that should be told a resounding "Hell NO!" just on general principle. It's not romantic. It just puts the person you're proposing to on the spot. The vast majority of people don't like being the focus of the attention of large groups of people- it's like standing in front of the class to give a presentation, only you don't know the most (possibly not even ANY) of those people at all.
