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?

If a woman can pick her presents then why can't she pick her men? Shoulda went with just the ring.

Can't you tell that she just wants more hard drives from you?

External HDD, or a ring? Propose to her properly you fool. Should've given her the HDD, then taken her out for a romantic meal and proposed to her. It could have been a hint though, sure you're good enough in the sack?

Are you sure she realized it was a proposal? Maybe she just thought you were offering her jewelry as a gift, and didn't really want it...

Making her choose is stupid... it could make her think that your always going to ask her to make stupid sacrifices. I'd have chosen the hard drive too...

You didn't really imply that it was an engagement ring sooo for all she knows you're telling her to choose between a hard drive or probably an ugly 50 year old ring..I mean I'd choose neither like wtf? A harddrive? She's your girlfriend, not your sister
