Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of two 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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." 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. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML
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
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 proposed to my girlfriend of four years. Her response? First, she threw up all over me, then she started crying hysterically. I'll take that as a no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I propose he might have been in the same situation before.

Just wait awhile, OP. She'll come around eventually.

Or maybe OP should mail her half the bill, if she wants to walk home by herself maybe she should pay for herself as well
deloria_fml 22
How do you know she didn't? Why are you making assumptions about OP's girlfriend? She had every right to say no, and she didn't do anything wrong. This probably really came out of the blue.

#15, Walking home by herself just means she needs to think, it doesn't mean that the relationship is over. And, yeah, way to be chauvinist by assuming they didn't split the bill.
Miss_Chevious 37
OP wouldn't be complaining about the 5 star restaurant if they had split the bill

I remember an fml about a girl who turned down a proposal and then drove home awkwardly together with op (they were far from home and only had the one car). People called her inconsiderate for not giving him space. Now this one is doing just that and people like #15 are getting pissed. Moral of the story; no matter how nicely a person tries to turn down a proposal, there will always be someone who has a problem with it.

But anyways, don't get too discouraged OP. Your gf just said she wasn't ready yet (2 years can seem pretty fast for some people), not that she won't ever want to marry you in the future. The situation sucks, but if you guys stick together I'm sure everything will work out in it's own time :-)
mrmcleod 29
#29 I dunno, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that he footed the bill with the intent of proposing marriage afterwards. That being said, #15 sounds like an ass.
sparxva 12
No. If she isn't ready after two years, then dump her and move on. Your time is valuable and should not be wasted on someone who hasn't figured out whether they want to marry you after two years. One-two years is a reasonable time period. Move on.
sparxva 12
Two years is long enough to figure whether or not she wants to marry you. Move on and find someone else.

#60 I am so confused by your comment. What does that movie have to do with this post? 0_o

Time wasn't right next time OP...

Sorry op your life defenitly sucks
Sandsh8rk 36
There's a button for that.
UnidentifiedFun 37
There's a button for if someone's life definitely sucks, not 'defenitly.'

Seriously? He's not typing on a phone not a keyboard.
davincidasecond 24
Unless you're typing on a flip phone, you should be able to spell 'definitely' with no problem. You know, since a ridiculous majority of phones nowadays have spell check...

... Who actually gives a ****...

you didn't deserve it D:
Okamichu 21
I'm sorry OP, if you really love her and she loves you then just give it time :)
sparxva 12
Two years was enough time. Don't become one of these people who 'dates' for six years and their girlfriend/boyfriend is never willing to make the commitment to get married. Just move on.

That sounds like a bitch OP. Sort you had to go through that
UnidentifiedFun 37
She's not a bitch for not being ready to get married. Sure, it sucks for the OP that she said no, but she is entitled to her own ideas about marriage.
BobbieH 19
#7 said "That's a bitch" not "She's a bitch". Two different things, the post meaning the situation is a bitch not the girlfriend.
fuckedPriceless 17
#23 see #32
ChibiChibi_fml 28
Actually #7 said "That sounds like a bitch OP" which can easily be interpreted either way. He/she could be saying the situation sounds like a bitch or that the girl sounds like a bitch. lowkeybelieber needs to clarify which they meant before anyone can say whether or not #23 was actually wrong in how they read the post.

Right in the feels
RollingCakes 21
This really isn't a: "dump that bitch and move on OP" Fml. If the girlfriend says she's not ready, she's not ready so just give her time. Good things come to those who wait.
mineller 24
I feel bad for you, op. But she doesn't have to say yes just because you take her to fancy restaurant.

#10, it sounds to me like he was just trying to make the night extra special for her. The proposal was part of the extra special night, but he obviously didn't get the answer he was hoping for and is very saddened at the least. This FML is heartbreaking to me.
mineller 24
I know! And I completely agree. I just feel like he's trying to make her out to be the bad guy, when she's not. I get that he's disappointed, but surely it would have been just as heartbreaking in a McDonalds.
SystemofaBlink41 27
I honestly didn't get a hint of OP making her to be the 'bad guy'. Which sounds weird, but 'bad girl' sounds too naughty.
