Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML

Ha ha ha...she knows you to well. Seems that your dad knows you even better!!! There has to be a reason for her to reject you, and for your dad to state you not ready!

If even a dad who's been there can day you're not ready then maybe you really aren't. FYL, this must feel horrible. But if there's any truth to what they think then maybe after you feel better you can use that to be ready, and try again later if you want to.

Surely there were some indicator that the relationship wasn't quite ready for such a big step. Anyhow, sorry OP!

So what if she rejects you the first time? If you're still dating her then you can try again when she feels that y'all are ready for such a large step.

Couldn't you have found a more romantic and relaxed setting than a family dinner??? My respect goes to her for having the courage to refuse despite the pressure of two families watching!

Oh that sounds painful.... Maybe you haven't been with her long enough?

She may not be ready either OP. I think you two need to sit down and talk with each other and come up with a solution. Maybe not get married so soon and spend a few more years with each other. Marriage is a big commitment and if neither side is ready it'll create problems in the future.

I agree. My best friend was proposed to the other day. She turned the guy down. He got upset, because it was in public, and his friends were around. They ended up breaking up because the boyfriend was so embarrassed. If he had spoken to her about marriage before thinking "I'll just go for it" he would have learned she just wasn't ready at the time to commit to marriage, but did wish to marry him at some point.
