Today, in the middle of a hot air balloon ride with my girlfriend, I asked her to marry me. She said no. The rest of the ride was the most awkward two hours of my life. 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, 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 my girlfriend from the top of a bungee jumping platform at an amusement park. I yelled out, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" from the platform, pointing her out. Turns out, I was pointing at the wrong girl. My girlfriend was very angry and ran away when the wrong girl yelled, "Yes!" 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 went skiing with a girl I like. On the lift I asked her out. She said no. Halfway up the lift stopped. We were stuck up there for nearly an hour. FML
Today, I called in to my girlfriend's favorite radio station to propose. After spending what seemed like an eternity telling her how much I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, she took a deep breath, said, "How about no?" and hung up. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML
Today, I was walking with my girlfriend of a year and a half on the beach. Everything was fine until she saw a plane with a banner behind it saying "Cassie, will you marry me?" She said yes. I didn't order a plane. FML

That really sucks. Usually you talk about it first though. Not surprise them. If you did that then you would've been more aware of what her answer would be.

I've always wondered how many of these FMLs get read by the people they are actually about.

I think most of them relating to relationships get read by them, I think couples enjoy reading them together, if they have a incident they sure know where to post and to look.

If it were true though, her profile would explain it all!

If you're on the mobile app, I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are. I've gotten one of mine posted, but when I look at my profile from the mobile app, it says I have none posted.

Should not have asked at the *beginning*

It says "in the middle"!

I don't think they meant at the beginning of the ride, but before the ride began.

Uh, the 'in the middle' as it has been used in the OP is not a literal descriptor.

Looks like that is the closest to 7th heaven you can come with her atm. But props for being kinda creative with the proposal, those who do not bet do not win :) So now you know where you have here at the moment, good luck in the future though, maybe you will succeed later

She was still your girlfriend, just not at the same place in your relationship that you were.
