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

aww, thats so mean D: but how long were you two dating? maybe shes just not ready for marriage for example, if you only dated for 1 or 2 years. maybe its a good thing that you two wait, cause sometimes couples marry way too soon, when they're not ready.

Wow. In a way, I always feel bad for people who get proposed to when they're not interested - it really does put them on the spot and unless the one proposing is a complete jacka**, the one who says no is the bad guy. That really, really sucks. My sympathy for her ends there b/c she had no reason to be such a . . . wow. So heartless about it. I would have been tempted to snatch her dessert plate away, say 'no' and stick HER with the bill. Even if you handled t he situation with grace, it's perfectly reasonable to break up with her citing the fact that you don't want to waste your time with someone who sends mixed messages. And I mean: not seeing her at all, not hanging out with her friends, insisting that your friends act like true friends and drop her like a bad habit. How awful! Best of luck to you.

While I think it's nice to make sure that the two people are on the same page about marriage, I really want to be surprised. I mean, where's the fun in, "You want to get married? Okay, we'll go pick out a ring together." But maybe I just view it this way because I'm not in a sensible relationship.

obviously there should be a surprise in marriage proposal.. otherwise it becomes dumb like"You want to get married? Okay, we'll go pick out a ring together."

@10, if she just wasn't ready, she wouldn't have just said "no" or else she was just being a bitch/stupid. If you get proposed to and you're not ready, you say something like "Oh no... I'm so sorry! :( No, I'm just not ready yet!" Or if she had certain beliefs, hopefully she would have mentioned this before the proposal ... or even after her turn-down. "No, I don't want to get married until _______." Or so on. Because you do like the guy, and want to keep the option for marriage open. Just saying "NO" flat-out means ... no.

She has every right to say no...but she should have done it with tact at least. Cold!

In a public place like that, if I got proposed to then I would just say yes and then when we get home talk about it. I'm sorry if thats cruel but it can't be worse than putting him through the embarrassment of me saying no. Although it would cause me discomfort throughout the dinner or whatever we're doing but I rather not do that to him.

wait WHAT !?!? so you would say yes because you are in front of people and wouldn't want to embarrass him then go home to basically say no ? THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS !!! PREPOSTEROUS I TELL YOU !!! somehow you sound worse than the bitch in the FML.

you should have just taken it and said, "what? it's part of the desert." then popped it in your mouth and swallowed it. cut your losses and swallow your pride

#27 Give that thing some time and you only swallowed your pride :D
