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"?

#72: You must be retarded, or you spend too much time watching Fox "News" which makes seemingly intelligent people retarded. Racist dumbass.

I'm pretty sure you mean #68, not 72. #72 didn't say anything racist and nothing was ever mentioned about Fox News, so I'm not sure where that complaint came in either. Fox News does not make people racist or retarded or any other name you can come up with. I'm sure any number of people watching different news channels are just as capable of being racist and retarded, and it's really not a question of the news channel they watch, but more in how logically they can think through things.

@Chuffy: I'm going to spare you a hate filled response - I was #72 and I think you were talking about pimpin88, who treated us to some long-winded drivel. There are too many people here who pounce on an innocent mistake, so I'm going to assume you are feeling both embarrassed and apologetic.

you are stupid racist bitch. noone is interested in your opinion or your dumb half scientific facts. you can't possibly have any friends that like you, because then you wouldn't need to ramble on FML. and your grammar and punctuation suck. even I as a non native speaker can see that. shut the **** up please?

Either your a stupid kid for proposing at 16 or this is fake, YDI for proposing so young and FYL for her being so rude about it.

Nice essay bro. I think it's worthy of a C- maybe?

Seems like you care more about your 'wasted' money than about the fact that she said no, so...YOU DESERVED IT!

A C-? You're way too generous. D at best. Look at that structure. The intro was only one sentence. Bad form.

I don't get all the negative things being said. Who cares if she said no! Maybe they've talked about marriage and she just doesn't want to get married yet. or maybe she doesn't even want to marry him. Don't blame the girl maybe they never spoke about it and he just went out on a limb. She said no big deal. I'm sure this happens all the time. Just because you're proposed to doesn't mean you say yes and get married.
