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

LOL at #27. At least you know she isn't marrying you for your money.

Like everyone said... "a food court?" The last time I saw something of that nature was in NYC at a high-end restaurant. The guy proposed to his GF and she said yes. Similar amount of applause but the entrees were like $30 a plate. Congrats on her saying yes though, just maybe change the venue you're at. Doesn't make good talk to your kids when they're older. "Yeah I proposed to your mom in front of the Taco Bell booth at the local mall. Ah those were the days, carefree. Could order anything from the food vendors that you wished. It was just plastic chairs, tables and utensils for as far as the eye could see. I wasn't even thinking of doing it but seeing your mom holding that Crunchy Gordita in her hands, I just knew she was the one for me so I got down on one knee and with the ring I just got from the kid's meal, I asked her to marry me..."

You should have given people rice in advance. Otherwise they would have to make due with rice from the China Star, and that would have been sticky. In fact, that would have been the perfect escape; hurl rice on the security guards!

Hi everyone, you're ridiculous. What difference does it make where they got engaged? The fact of the matter is that she said yes. My parents got into a fight and almost broke up when my dad proposed (they were talking about marriage and my dad said, "Do you wanna just do it? Get married?" My mom's response was "...to you? Hadn't really thought about it much.") It makes for a funny story, and maybe there is significance to it. If not, maybe it was the right moment. You're no one to judge. That being said, this isn't really an FML lol, just a little bit funny. OP, congrats on the engagement.
