Today, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She pretended not to hear me. FML

I'm guessing he didn't have a ring. And he didn't do it in a romantic way, or she would not have been able to "pretend" she didn't hear.

OP'S GF: 'why are you kneeling? whats that ring? what are you talking about? will I CARRY you? you are acting rather strange darling.'

I'm thinking maybe she pretended not to hear because OP might have done it in a very unromantic way, and she was disappointed. She probably wants a more memorable proposal.

Make it even more awkward by inviting friends and family over and asking her again in front of everyone.

Try renting a tuba and blowing into it very loudly to get her attention, or maybe she'll have a real reason to be deaf.

Maybe she didn't hear you because it's really windy today.

How could anyone vote for YDI on this!? OP, you dodged a bullet there. If she's ignoring you now, just imagine how it would be if you were married to her.

I always vote YDI on these because it seems like the asker is constantly dropping a bombshell on the askee. Proposals should be like cross-examining witnesses questions in court--don't ask questions you don't already know the answers to!
