Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

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

Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a restaurant we both like. By the end of the date, we were fighting and she angrily broke up with me. To make things worse, I got food poisoning. She didn't. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute I spelled out "Marry Me" in alphabet soup, because that's her favorite. She took one look at it and started to laugh. She then began to spell out "no". She still ate the soup. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Yes or No?

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML

Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML

And you deserved to be downvoted for making a dumb excuse of why he deserves it. Op doesn't deserve that.

Sorry, OP, but as the recent recipient of an unwanted proposal, I say this has YDI written all over it. You probably didn't talk or even hint to her in advance about your feelings on marriage, which would have saved you the trouble when she told you she wasn't into it. As for the comments on the food, you put her in a tough and embarrassing spot, and people say hurtful things when you humiliate them. You really could have avoided this.

I'm probably going to get down voted, but I always wonder if the people that propose and get rejected have talked openly and seriously about marriage with their significant other. I feel that some very serious conversations about marriage should be had before someone just out of the blue proposes. If Op had not talked seriously about marriage with his girlfriend than this is sort of a YDI in my opinion. How else are you to know if your girlfriend even wants to get married or if she's ready to make that commitment with you? Either way, the comment about the food was completely rude and unnecessary and op definitely didn't deserve that. Best of luck op, you'll find the right person, and when you do I think you should have long conversations about getting married beforehand just to be sure.

Screw eHarmony. For dates that lead straight to proposals go with FML.

I'm sorry OP, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions(on the "no to the proposal front") though I can agree that was totally the wrong time to comment on the food... I'm sorry OP, but you will find someone who loves you AND your cooking one day!
