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

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 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 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 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, 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 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. 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 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, 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 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

Wow that sucks. But on the flip side, why would you propose to someone without being at least 99.9% sure they were going to say "yes"?

YDI. You're the one who invited the entire family and made the big show, so you brought the embarrassment upon yourself. What, was your girlfriend supposed to say yes just because of the big audience?

I agree.

Agreed. I hate when people do that - I'm sorry, inviting everyone and their mother (literally in this case it seems....) for something like the proposal....all that is doing is putting pressure on her to say yes. If I was her, I'd say no too, just for that reason alone!

No, she was supposed to say yes because I thought she loved me.

she probably did love you. but that doesn't mean she has to want to spend her life with you.

You're ******* 16. You're too young to have done anything in your life yet, and you haven't proved that you would provide a stable lifestyle for this girl. Of COURSE she would say no. YDI.

So you would automatically say no to a proposal just because yours and his families are there and you felt uncomfortable? Will not lie that seems kind of pathetic.

That was mean of her to laugh.

it was ignorant of him to put her on the spot with the question. Look at both sides.

Maybe you were a bad boyfriend. There's a reason she said no, right? Hard to tell if it's a FYL or a YDI situation.

Proposing in front of a crowd: YDI. She said no: FYL.

Are people ever going to learn to not propose in front of any family or friends? Or anywhere in public?

Well, she did you a favor. You don't want to marry a bitch like that, anyway.

Why would you ever propose in a public place like that? That puts so much pressure on the girl, -.-.
