Today, for my girlfriend's birthday, I got her an external hard drive and my grandmother's engagement ring. When she opened both boxes, I took her hand and looked deep in her eyes and told her to pick whichever she wanted. She took the external hard drive, even though she already has one. FML

Well....I mean.... This is gonna be harsh, but I'd be pretty disappointed if my boyfriend proposed to me like that. It's supposed to be romantic, you know? This just doesn't ...sparkle?... enough. I don't know. Maybe she was hitting the refresh key. Try again later?

I have to agree with the previous commenters, I mean it's a stupid way to propose first of all. Second of all, why would you do it on her birthday? You want a special date for the engagement. Something more romantic. Why would you even think about doing it the way that you did? Fail.

Who says she wants to marry you? You sound like a whiny douche.

Next time try a little romance with the next one Romeo. Just tossing out a ring and a hard drive is NO way to propose. I would have taken the hard drive too.

Heh, the way of proposal was really sucky - did she realize you were proposing? Maybe she didn't like the ring... Being a geek girl if a guy offered me to pick between hardware and jewelry, unless the jewelry was really, REALLY awesome or the hardware was suckier than the stuff I have already, I'd pick the hardware in a heartbeat. You sure she just isn't a (closet) computer geek? :D

That was not a bad way to propose! You thought it out and im sure you know her well so I'm hoping ya'll are both computer lovers? Anyway, Im sorry she was such a jerk about it. Hope it all works out.

Hell, if my girlfriend picked a hard drive over a ring, I'd be fairly certain that she is "the one". But YDI for having a shitty proposal.
