Today, for my girlfriend's birthday, I got her an external hard drive and my grandmother's engagement ring. When she opened both boxes, I took her hand and looked deep in her eyes and told her to pick whichever she wanted. She took the external hard drive, even though she already has one. FML

Well....I mean.... This is gonna be harsh, but I'd be pretty disappointed if my boyfriend proposed to me like that. It's supposed to be romantic, you know? This just doesn't ...sparkle?... enough. I don't know. Maybe she was hitting the refresh key. Try again later?

I would have done the same. Unless my girlfriend was proposing, then I would choose the ring.

This symbolizes something. She wants a hard " drive". Give it to her rough in bed and she'll want you. xD For real though, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that happened.

I would definitely pick the hard-drive, especially if I didn't know what was going on. Unless you say 'will you marry me?' at some point, I think it's probably an ambiguous situation.
