Today, my boyfriend proposed to me in front of an entire street of people. We've only been dating for a week. One of the women in the crowd then called me heartless and threw a hamburger at me when I turned him down. FML

Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. 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 of 2 years after eating in a 5-star restaurant. She said that she wasn't ready and that she would walk home by herself, which she did. A homeless gentleman walked up from behind me, patted me on the back and said, "Bitches man." I cried. FML

Jumping the gun

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 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

you should have just said yes in public and then in private called him out on being a crazy mo' fo'. I never understood why people don't do that... it's not like the crowd will track you down and hold you to it..

I would never say yes, knowing full well I'm going to renig on my promise. My word is my bond. It was unfair that he proposed to the OP in front of people to add the pressure of getting a "yes" response. I wouldn't care what on lookers think about my decision about my future. I may expect a few Boos here and there but never expect to get hit with an object. An eye for an eye. That lady would have gotten a few hits right back!

I agree with sourgirl. Why would you say yes and make him really happy if you are going to smash that dream of his just a little later. That is heartless even if he is crazy. No one should ever get married after knowing each other for only a week.
