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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Yeah... I say that gets close to an FYL. But YDI. Never ask such a question unless you are sure of the answer. Did she walk out with the ring? Did you have to pay the bill too?

WOW! Some people are pigs. That girl is. She was a waste of feelings & time!

I do feel bad for the OP, but I feel bad for her too. For all of those people who are saying that she's a pig, you might want to consider the possibility that perhaps she is still young and wants to focus on other things like her career before getting married. Some people do prefer to date each other for a long time before there are rings involved. Yes, they have been dating for 5 1/2 years, but maybe they were high school sweethearts and now are only in their early 20s, in which case, perhaps the subject of marriage may be something they have not discussed a lot.

Your stupid did you really jus type P'STD' what the hell is that? what is that a new 'S'exually 'T'ransmitted 'D'isease? I hope what u were trying to say was PTSD. That would make more sense. I hate it when people use acronyms and get them mixed up.....so stupid.

PTSD stands for post traumatic stress disorder, you dumb ****. How does "triggering repressed memories" have to do with sexually transmitted diseases? Because it's soo unlikely that the poster made a typo. God you're stupid.

You know what annoys me, foxxxy? I get really annoyed when people use "your" instead of "you're," particularly when they call someone stupid in the same breath. It's much harder to do than switching two letters... so stupid.

I hate it when people flip the **** out over obvious typos and call people names. Of course we all have our pet peeves. Calm down a bit, k?
