Today, I realized that my girlfriend had never said anything about the proposal ring I had put into a box of her Froot Loops. When I hinted it to her, she said that the cereal had expired, so she threw out the box. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I checked the box with the ring to make sure it was still there, and saw a piece of paper in it. It said, "No." FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. 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 of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. 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 was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey buddie, I'm just saying... I'm a girl, and I'm young.. but I've found my love and i'd think it's lame if he put my special ring in a box of cereal. That's kinda disrespectful. I would still say yes though, because I would care about you, but still.. if you want this to be a memorable romantic night, the day I knew we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, I would definately make it perfect. Like sunset, dinner, movie, anything... is it that hard to go down on one knee. You only have to do it once in your life.

Oh, it could have been worse. You could have proposed to her with an expired fruit loop as a ring. But still, she could have easily not noticed the ring even if she opened it, so YDI.

I would never do anything as retarded as this, but my gf would probably love to find a ring in her cerial, random, cute and funny not to mention bizzare is her thing so i suppose the OP was just trying to make his smile, im assuming that because other wise hes an idiot beyond comparison. Quick dude hurry, you might be able to get it out the trash, then hide it in her coffee powder or inside an egg!

I would totally marry a guy who hid a ring in an egg, with it's shell on of course.

Maybe people should stop putting engagement rings in food.

Both FYL and YDI. First off, the fact that you lost the ring, yeah that really sucks. But why would you put it in her cereal? Most of the time at breakfast some people are hardly awake. AND, what if it had fallen to the end of the box? She wouldn't have found it until a long time later. So I voted both.

Aww, it was a cute idea! The ring was the prize in the cereal box! I hope you find it. :(

Putting the ring in the cereal box was a fail UNLESS you also put a sticker on the box saying "Special surprise inside!" Then it's pure genius.

Awww, you poor guy. That is a cute idea. If you're lucky, it's still safe inside the box, amongst the stale oats, rather than amongst the rest of the trash. Froot Loops, Cheerios, etc is a genius idea, actually. They're RINGS. She got a ring in her rings! ...but don't use Spaghetti O's. Ninja's (69) got a point, too. Make sure it says "prize inside!" or she'll drop it in the milk. Not so bad, but not so great either. Everyone is so cruel to people who try to break away from the rest of the mindless sheep. It's great to get a unique proposal someone put thought into. Any idiot can drop down and smile, takes a REAL MAN (or woman) to actually think of something they believe their partner would love (meaning, y'know, pay attention or take their likes into consideration....) And I'm assuming she loves her Froot Loops. I used to, too, but now not so much. .... You know, as bad as these FMLs turn out for the OPs, I find them some nice ideas for the future. They also give me ideas as to what to watch out for, such as expired boxes durrhurr.

You have strange ideas of romance, OP. There's really nothing wrong with doing something more traditional. YDI for going over the top.
