The proposal

By Brasilian29 - 11/12/2014 12:01 - United States - San Francisco

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of two years after eating in a 5-star restaurant. She said that she wasn't ready, and that she would walk home by herself, which she did. A homeless gentleman walked up from behind me, patted me on the back, and said, "Bitches, man." I cried. FML

Just wait awhile, OP. She'll come around eventually.

Sorry that happened OP, but 2 years in general goes pretty fast. Most aren't ready in 2 years to say yes to a life time commitment like marriage especially when other things could come into play like if one or both are still in school or don't feel stable enough career wise to make such a jump.

Well, it depends on their age: if they're in their twenties, I agree but if they are fifteen or twenty years older probably two years are long enough to understand if he or she is the right person or not.

they didn't break up? just because you say no to a proposal doesn't mean you break up, it just means ypu dont want to get married yet, and that's ok.

OP, just give it time and be patient. Marriage is a huge deal and some people take more time than others to be ready for that. If she truly loves you, she'll be ready for that kind of commitment with you eventually. Don't fret, just let life go in the direction it should. If it doesn't work out with her, that means she's really not "the one" and that someone who is will come along soon enough. :) Just keep smiling and make the best of whichever road life takes you on.

Some people LIKE to walk home alone after they reject someone's marriage proposal. In this case, OP's girlfriend.

Better she be honest by admitting she is not ready, than to commit to such a serious step.

It's hard to hear a "no" but it's better that she was honest. If it's meant to be at least now she knows your intentions. If it's not meant to be it's better this happens before a messy divorce years from now that might involve kids.

She didn't say "No, not ever", she said she wasn't ready. Women are allowed to not be ready for marriage. Not all relationships have a woman just sitting on her hands waiting for the question to be popped, just like not all young men are desperate to lose their virginity and want to do it the first time someone offers. It probably would have been best to talk about marriage beforehand to make sure you were on the same page. Just give it more time and have a proper talk with her about what she sees in your future together and if there's anything she needs from the relationship that she feels she isn't getting. There's no need to rush it--try again when the time is right.
