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 the love of my life by having the waitress place the ring in her dessert. She ate the whole thing and didn't find the ring. I guess the waitress stole the ring. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of five and a half years to family dinner at a restaurant. After we all had finished dessert, I got down on one knee, pulled out my great grandmother's ring and proposed. The entire restaurant was dead silent. She looked around and then slowly walked out. FML

Today, I decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. FML

Today, a waiter fucked up by bringing a dessert with engagement ring to our table. My girlfriend started crying and saying, "Yes Yes Yes!" The look on her face when she had to take the ring off and give it back to the other woman… She’s now giving me the silent treatment, even though I did nothing wrong. 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 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 was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. 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 was working my shift at the restaurant as a waiter when the girl I've been in love with for 4 years came in with her boyfriend. He asked me to hide the ring in their dessert. FML

Today, I asked the restaurant manager if he could arrange to deliver an engagement ring to me and my girlfriend with our desserts. Desserts came, no ring. That guy wasn’t the manager, just a guy in a suit who legged it with my ring. 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.

#39: Good way of showing you are unable to think without prejudice. My parents are married, they have a normal relationship, and just because I said you shouldn't get married, doesn't mean you can't be in a monogamous relationship with someone. All I'm saying is that marriage has got nothing to do with how much you love someone. Marriage doesn't create more love, the only thing it does is show other people something about your relationship. Since I don't give a shit about what other people think, I don't see why I should get married. Then there's the costs. Getting married costs a lot of money, seeing as I don't have a reason to get married, why would I want to spend money on something I think is useless? Then there's the attraction perspective. One of the things that creates attraction is the fear of loss. Most people probably won't understand what this means, but getting married removes that fear and thus lowers attraction. This is why a lot of marriages fail; they stop trying to keep the relationship going. Just take a look at the statistics. Take a look at how many people get divorced every single year. Or how many people have been in a succesful relationship for years, then decide to get married and end up getting divorced just a year later. So my whole point of not getting married has got nothing to do with how I was raised. It's only got to do with logical thinking.

Couldn't have said it better. Agree with you 100%. Next thing you will be hearing is the usual "it shows commitment". That one always cracks me up. PREPOSTEROUS !!!

She can't just say NO and act like nothing happened! That is childish and inconsiderate of her. At the very least she should have told you why did she say no.

when the bill came u should've said no... then walked out, leaving her to pay. by how she responded it doesnt seem like she has any respect for u. even if you didnt talk about marriage already or werent sure. if she respected you, she could have been a little less cold.

I would have done the same thing. That doesn't' mean she doesn't love you, just means she doesn't want to get married. Be ******* happy with what you got.
