Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. At the right moment, I got down on one knee. As I was reaching into my pocket to get the ring, she got so freaked out she kicked me in the face. I chipped a tooth and the ring flew off, and now I can't find it. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. 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
Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
Today, I was trying to propose to my girlfriend when some scumbag snatched the ring and bolted. I chased him down, tackled him, and punched him until he gave the ring back. Now my girl is upset, crying, "What if he was hungry and needed to buy food? You didn't have to hurt him." 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 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 planned to propose to my girlfriend in front of her family at dinner. I had the ring ready and got down on one knee. She immediately burst into laughter and said, "Are you kidding?" The family stared in silence, and I quickly realised she was just teasing me... until I stood up and knocked over an entire table of drinks. 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, my girlfriend went in for a kiss too fast and broke my front tooth. FML

How does someone "freak out" so bad they spontaneously become a Rockette, and kick the person they 'love' in the face? Sorry OP, I think that was a no.

How and why does this happen? If it were me, I'd buy an engagement ring with the girlfriend, and try to keep it low key. Also, if that happens, the answer was already yes, so... I don't lose anything.

you don't lose anything, but you are possibly the least romantic person ever.

My husband and I talked about rings and picked them together. It's beautiful and I love it.

32, romance is highly overrated.

Well, I'd rather play it safe than to do a stupid romantic gesture that will likely cause problems.

Not sure why you're getting thumbed down, 49. The very existence of this FML and the fact that I can remember at least a half-dozen along these lines is proof positive that your approach is the best way to go. Don't let the naysayers convince you otherwise!

Depends on the couple. Some people want a surprise, you can try to find ways to figure out what ring they like, what proposals they like and hate, and if how they feel about marriage easily. For some, choosing the ring is better, for others they prefer something their partner chose. Discuss marriage and stuff BEFORE you want to propose if you go for the more surprising

I laughed so hard at the image in my head of this. I'm sorry that happened op.

That was the force telling you that she's not the one.

I'm sorry but I laughed way too hard at this... Lmfao. Sorry op, that's absolutely horrible. Hope you can talk to her about it.

OK who freaks out and kick someone in the face? Over react much? It's not like you snuck up on her and frightened her. I think you need someone more mature.
