Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute I spelled out "Marry Me" in alphabet soup, because that's her favorite. She took one look at it and started to laugh. She then began to spell out "no". She still ate the soup. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my girlfriend to Taco Bell since it's her favorite place to eat. I thought it'd be cute to get one of the sauce packets that says "Will you marry me?" on it and give it to her all cute-like. She thought it was adorable. While we were leaving, she threw it out. FML
Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. 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 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, my girlfriend caught the bouquet at her sister's wedding. I took it as a sign so after we got home, I proposed. She laughed and said no way. I'm done. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years. Her response? First, she threw up all over me, then she started crying hysterically. I'll take that as a no. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, whom I'm madly in love with, by having a plane fly over her house spelling "Marry me Abby?" After seeing it, she locked herself in her room and cried for hours, exclaiming that this wasn't how she wanted to be proposed to. I'd invited my entire family. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl of my dreams. She asked me who I was, and maced me. FML
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
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" FML

How can you begin to spell no? By the time you've done the N you're already halfway!

Just cause someone doesn't want to marry you doesn't mean they don't love you, I have no intention of ever getting married myself. Of course it doesn't rule out that they might not, but why look for the bad things in everything.

Am I reading this right? Your sole means of proposing was soup? No planning ahead? No ring? No down-on-one-knee? When I proposed, I learned how to drive a boat for my girl, then took her to a secluded island and proposed with a poem. It took a lot of planning! And she had no idea there'd be a boat; she thought we were just gonna have a picnic at the park :-P

Hey,I was proposed to in a parked car in the mall parking lot. Granted, it was kind of an impulse thing. But it was no less heartfelt. We've been happily married 4.5 years now. If the person is right, the method of the proposal doesn't matter.

Personally I'd prefer alphabet soup to a cheesy poem trapped on an island (where the hell would I go if I wanted to refuse???). Then again, maybe that's just me.

Sorry it didn't go the way you were expecting, but this doesn't have to be the end of the world. Just because she is not ready right now, doesn't mean she doesn't love you or want to be with you right now. She just is not ready for marriage. It is better to for her to say no because she knows she is not ready than rush into it to spare your feelings and end up with a called off engagement or a divorce. Wait a year or so and talk about it.

WTF do you care that she finished the soup? It's like 39 cents. No wonder she said 'no'. BTW, no decent woman is going to accept a marriage proposal in soup, favorite or not.

I accepted a proposal sitting in a parked car, and I am very happy 7 years later (4.5 married). You =/= every woman.

I would accept a proposal like that. It's cute, thoughtful, and original. Just because there's no expensive romantic dinner, or fireworks, or any other typical "romantic" type of proposal, doesn't mean that it's stupid. Every woman is different. You apparently don't realize that though.

Actually, I've always thought one of the cutest proposals ever would be a 25 cent vending machine ring. If I said yes, then I can get a real one later, and if I say no, there's no expensive jewelry to return. =) In the long run it's the person, not the proposal, that really matters.

@28 Then I don't see a decent man marrying your ass anytime soon.

I'm sorry, but this story sounds like it was made by a kid. Like if you're in High School and write that message to your girlfriend, it's a good thing that she didn't take it seriously. That's something you do not seriously, plus the story just sounds like the persons involved are under 18 in which case, I seriously doubt the seriousness of the proposal. However if you are of age, I'm sorry she said no, but I don't know what girl would say yes to a soup proposal sans an actual ring.
