Miscellaneous: Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute...

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 to Taco Bell since it's her favorite place to eat. I thought it'd be cute to get one of the sauce packets that says "Will you marry me?" on it and give it to her all cute-like. She thought it was adorable. While we were leaving, she threw it out. FML

Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. FML

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

Magic moments

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years. Her response? First, she threw up all over me, then she started crying hysterically. I'll take that as a no. FML

Dream proposal

By groomfail - 02/03/2009 01:41 - United States

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, whom I'm madly in love with, by having a plane fly over her house spelling "Marry me Abby?" After seeing it, she locked herself in her room and cried for hours, exclaiming that this wasn't how she wanted to be proposed to. I'd invited my entire family. 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, after pouring my heart out to my girlfriend of four years through a speech that took me three weeks to write, and then proposing, she responded, "Eh, why not." FML

How can you begin to spell no? By the time you've done the N you're already halfway!

You spelled out "marry me" with alphabet soup and she spelled out no. How is this possible when the words marry me don't have an "n" or an "o" in them?

Hey, canned kids' soups are yummy no matter your age. That's like telling them to grow up for ordering a Kid's Meal at McDonald's.... it's food either way, who cares what age group it's marketed towards? lol

No wonder she didn't want to marry you. You live in TEXAS*. *Oh, and there are no exceptions to the stereotype I'm implying. ;)

Thats cute and all, but so pitiful its only natural that she would think it was a joke. You might need to try something a little bit more elaborate.

honestly? i don't think she took it seriously. i sure as hell wouldn't. it seems too childish and playful (and yes, very cute, etc). something with more substance might get her attention. but also, you've got time to figure out whether or not it's what she really wants right now - if she's ready.
