Are straight men OK?
Today, a man proposed to me in classic style on one knee. Unfortunately, I have been telling this man for the last two months that I don't even want to date him. He thinks I'm playing hard to get and is not giving up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, I proposed to my boyfriend. He laughed at me and said that proposing is a man's job, not a woman's. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. Three hours later, he called me to tell me he was kidding. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I fainted due to the excitement. He took it as a "no" and won't pick up my calls. FML
Today, my boyfriend got on one knee and started talking about how we met. Knowing what was coming, I started tearing up, absolutely sure he was going to propose. Just as I was about to say yes, he quickly stood up and yelled "HAH, JUST KIDDING". FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years proposed to me. Less than two minutes later, he decided he wasn't ready for the commitment. After I had already said yes. FML
Today, I asked out the man of my dreams. He's smart, attractive, and has a steady job. Imagine my surprise when he accepted. Then imagine my surprise when he followed up with, "Hah, just kidding. You're fucking BORING!" FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by handing me a ring and saying, "Let's get this dumb shit over and done with." FML

Tell him to buy you a new Lexus and then you'll think about it. If he does it, tell him you think he's insane and you just don't see yourself spending the rest of your life with an insane person (but thank him for the car). If he doesn't do it, tell him he obviously doesn't really love you. Either way, you win. There's always a positive side to every bizarre situation.

Wait, you don't want to date him, and so he responds to that by driving it straight home and proposing to you? It must have been a little difficult to turn him down (I'm assuming you're not completely heartless). Were you being forthright and direct in your refusal to date him? If you've already tried to tell him, all I can suggest is an attorney and (possibly) a restraining order. Or telling it to him exactly like it is. Be cold-blooded and blunt and give him the giant NO. You may use a more elaborate method of saying it, of course. Walk away; if you stick around, he's likely to persist. Mace him, maybe?

Why does everyone assume restraining orders fall from the sky? News flash: they don't. There has to be reason, not just proposing to a woman who isn't interested. If he threatened to gouge her eyes out and eat them if she didn't marry him, you could get lucky and be a candidate. They only last a short while, and really solve nothing. There's no bubble surrounding you like a force field. No cop to follow you and protect you. Essentially, it does nothing.

Yea, laurabloodycasin? I didn't suggest that restraining orders don't "fall from the sky". NEWS FLASH: I already knew that, bitch. Stop acting like you're the authority on the subject. And threatening to gouge out someone's eyes if they don't accept a marriage proposal is not quite grounds for a restraining order. Those are empty words unless substantiated with attempted action.

I said yes to a guy who said he wasn't going to give up...I figured if he wasn't going to give up EVER, I may as well say 'yes.' Hindsight is 20/20. Now that I actually have some self esteem, we're divorced. Since you've never even accepted a date with this guy, he really needs to see the writing on the wall. He totally doesn't know you well enough to propose. I would wear a shirt that reads '{his name here} I'm not interested!' This does count as harassment, btw...

You said yes and married a guy you didn't want to just because he said he wouldn't give up?
