Today, I went through with my elaborate plans to propose to my girlfriend with creativity. I took her skydiving and proposed in midair. She rejected it. Why? She wanted a more "traditional" proposal. FML

Next time, bring some cows and offer them to her father in return for his daughter. Traditional.

Sucks, to go through all that preparation and to be rejected. She doesnt deserve to be with you if she can't understand all the work you went through for that proposal.

Now remember, the way you propose has to, most importantly, allow her a chance to be overcome with joy and love. Skydiving isn't the best choice because the sweeping wind makes it slightly difficult to feel all that. I especially hope that it isn't the first one, two, or five times she's went skydiving. That could factor into the wish for a more memorable proposal.

are you people serious!? that proposal would get an automatic yes from me! spontaneous, exciting, perfection.

I don't see the problem. That's basically like her saying yes, but try again if the method was the problem. At least you have an interesting story and got to go skydiving!

agree with 94...what a way to do it, completely original, unforgettable, and she decided to be a ****. oh well, there's always the more traditional approach if she wants

Next time ask right in the middle of sex and if she says no stick it in her pooper! /oh my god why did I just think of that?

i call FAKE u can not speak while sky diving/parachuting it was busted on mythbusters 100% FAKE

The people calling fake are retarded. The issue was settled pretty early and you would know that if you knew how to read to get information instead of just watching Mythbusters. This proposal may not have been "exactly" what she wanted but she needs to grow up. She can spend all the time she wants planning her wedding and the party afterward to a T. The marriage is about both of them and turning him down because he didn't find the perfect picture in her head is childish and selfish. He obviously spent a lot of time, money, and effort trying to make this special for her and the least she can do is say yes if she plans to marry him anyway. Then they can have a "traditional" everything else. His proposal as it was was real. Anything that follows will be a fake thing contrived to appease a whiny bitch. I honestly think this is a good sign that the relationship needs to be reevaluated.

I did not get this off mythbusters, I got it from being a skydiver. You can't hear anything but the wind rushing past your head during free fall. Unless they were experienced skydivers, they wouldn't be falling near each other enough anyway... The best explanation is maybe if he talked to the tandem instructors about getting somewhat near each other while under canopy. But from what I know of tandem instructors (And I dated one) they wouldn't risk it. They are responsible for the life of another human being. They aren't going to take chances. Not at my drop zone.

She didn't say "no," at least. If you really want to marry her, give it a few days and do it traditionally. Then see what she says - she may or may not just be looking for an excuse to get out.
