Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I told her best friend the plan the day before. I got reservations to a restaurant on the beach, and we were going to arrive via boat. She never showed. Her parents called me asking why she left town to go to Paris. 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 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
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend on my boat at the lake. As we were looking at the mountains all around us, she playfully pushed me off the side into the water. As I got back on the boat, I realized that not only was my cellphone dead, but the ring had fallen into the deep water. 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 flew my girlfriend to Paris for our one year anniversary. Little did I know that instead of going up the Eiffel Tower and over looking the most romantic city she would rather spend it in bed with a French man. 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 went through with my elaborate plans to propose to my girlfriend with creativity. I took her skydiving and proposed in midair. She rejected it. Why? She wanted a more "traditional" proposal. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML
Today, my girlfriend fell asleep while I was proposing. 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

Whew! Be glad you dodged a bullet there. If you would've proposed, she might've accepted just to please you, then eventually would cheat on you with your best friend, her boss, any random guy, because she was in a loveless marriage, and then file for divorce and leave you with the kids you forced on her. Now you are free!

Really...girls don't keep secrets unless they really have to, and even then that's iffy.

I wouldn't tell my best friend! Its the day before and if I knew she was happy, I'd keep the secret. But if I knew she wasn't happy, then I'd tell her, giving her time to skip the country. Haha, that was actually really harsh but still.

That and the extremely plausible "I'm jealous that she's in a relationship and I'm not, so I'm gonna sabotage it at any chance I get" scenario.

Yeah, if I thought my best friend was about to get proposed to by somebody she really wanted to marry, I would never tell. If it was somebody who I thought she didn't want to marry, I'd be loaning her money for a plane ticket. It just wasn't meant to be. Perhaps you were moving too fast. Try to talk to her honestly, straighten things out, and slow down! There's a serious problem if she had no idea you were going to propose yet, and then she felt she had to fly across the planet.

That's what you get for not being able to see into the future. /sarcasm

No sarcasm necessary. He could have easily "seen into the future" if he discussed getting married with his gf. That way he would know how she felt prior to proposing. Which is the more intelligent way to go because it will prevent someone from sayin something they regret in the heat of the moment.

Rofl you got owned but at least you know what your girlfriend is like!

Maybe she went to paris to see what an uncircumsized dinky is like before commiting to you, or maybe she went to paris after hearing about the ring you were going to give her! You know, to find a nice cartier ring. Zing!
