Love: Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in the food court at the mall....

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in the food court at the mall. When she said "yes", the entire food court broke out in applause, and my girlfriend and I were escorted out of the mall for "starting a riot". I never knew clapping was a crime. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She was so happy that she began flapping her hands around and screaming. She was flapping her hands so hard she smacked herself in the face and started crying. FML

Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. 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 was out to lunch when someone in the distance proposed to his partner. She said yes, everyone clapped and cheered. I, on the other hand, burst into tears and couldn't stop bawling for about half an hour. I'm a 32 year-old man and didn't even know the happy couple. 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

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with the cliché of the diamond ring in a champagne glass. Apparently there was an off-duty police officer across the room watching me slip the ring into the glass. He thought I was slipping in a date-rape drug and tackled me down before I could propose. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend in a crowded mall. I thought this was a good idea, until she went ballistic, began screaming and crying, and then stabbed me in the stomach with a ballpoint pen. I got banned from the mall. FML

I agree with #11. Unless there was some significance to the mall food court, you fail.

I think this would have been an FML if it went something like this... OP: Will you marry me? GF: Yes... but where's the ring? OP (over applause): Well see that's the thing I wanted you to pick it out... We can go to Zales, Kay, Jared... whichever one you want... Security: Sir I'm going to need you two to leave the premises OP: BUT SHE HAS TO PICK OUT HER RING!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO

It seems as if the only riot that has been caused is here. Does it really matter that he proposed in a food court? There might be a sort of significance to this event that is not mentioned in the OP's story. More importantly, however, she said "yes", meaning that obviously the proposal worked. But yeah, I'd have to agree with #12: while it does suck that you two were pulled out of the mall for "causing a riot", you're both now engaged. In the grand timeline of life, this should seem extremely minor in comparison to the lives you two may follow in the future.

This isn't a FML. You just got engaged, so what if you got escorted out of the mall? It's not like you got arrested or anything. I once got kicked out of a library for laughing too loudly, but I didn't get an engagement out of it or anything =P But anyways, congrats on getting engaged =D Hope all goes well for you!!!!
