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"?

16? My boyfriend tried to propose to me when I was 17 and I told him I had to be at least 22 before I said yes. You're too young, enjoy life first. All these kids are rushing into parent hood and getting married, but none of them are enjoying being young.

Why people bring in relatives to a decision as important as a proposal is beyond me. I would be pissed. What's wrong with a nervous laugh? It's a way to deal with a major amount of stress. I would hope that no one in either of the families knew what has planned in advance, otherwise F them for not stopping this trainwreck.

Holy shit youre only 16 years old, you can't possibly expect her to say yes. YDI for proposing too early. You make us canadians look stupid, go to hell!

Go to hell? Really? You take this site to seriously.

"Go to hell"...REALLY? That is way overexaggerated. I mean, I agree that 16 is a bit early to propose to someone, but I also have a friend who just got married a few weeks after she turned 18...so if both people feel that way I think there's nothing wrong with it... I'm sorry your girlfriend isn't in the same place you are (yet?)

Proposing in front of a crowd is just asking for trouble, unless you're very, very sure of the answer - as in, you've talked about it before. I think this is fake, though. You can't have seriously proposed at the tender age of 16. Also? No restaurant charges for any particular table!

Never propose in Public unless you've discussed marriage and know what the answer is!! YDI, for not even discussing it with her first.

I'm sorry that happened to you. :( That's pretty embarassing. There is no way you could've known, and to go through all that trouble is heart breaking. Well you obviously are romantic and deserve a nice girl!!!
