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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 her dessert. 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 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 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 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 decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. 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 invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years proposed to me. He brought me to our favorite restaurant and ordered expensive champagne. It was all very romantic, until he got on one knee and I farted out of surprise. Loudly. FML
Today, I proposed to the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML

Wow I'm so sorry. Have you gotten an explanation? You'd think after 5 1/2 years she'd shout YES.

I would have walked out too if it happened to me. After 5 years together, he better know that I would be mortified to have what is a private moment to me be made so public.

Sort of like when you send out a mass text about losing your virginity to your girlfriend while she is in a theater elsewhere.... hey, wasn't that another FML?

that is weak. I for one would never ever talk to her again. if she had anything in my place it would have been in a box by the dumpster. she was obviously using him as a security blanket and never had any intention of anything serious.

Probably shouldn't have proposed in public...It would have saved you the embarrassment.

OP, ouch. Nasty, you poor bastard. :( But you really should have made asking your gf to marry you a private thing instead of putting her on the spot in front of your family and strangers like that. Their presence becomes emotional blackmail for her to say yes. FYL, but to some degree, YDI

I agree. Guys, you need to be *really* sure the answer is positive if you contemplate about proposing in this way. But generally it is just a bad idea. Unless a girl has hinted she likes private moments shared with (*your*) family and the rest of the world, don't go down that road as chances are she will not find it romantic. Make announcements of proposals a public thing but not this, which is by definition a very intimate event. And looking at it from your side - the more sincere you want the answer to be, the less outsiders there should be present!
