56 Women Who Rejected Proposals — And Their Jaw-Dropping Reasons Will Change How You See Love Forever
Oh god. I have a story!
My good friend was dating this guy for nearly two years.
I could tell things were getting a bit stale with them, one day when we went out to get lunch she told me that she was going to break it off with the guy.
She seemed far more stressed about hurting the guy, he was an alright person in my book, but anyhoo she is telling me how she is going to do it and was asking for advice.
Right in the middle of me giving her some input, the guy comes in and looks a bit frantic, she must’ve told him that she was going there to meet me.
He musters up the courage and walks right to our table, completely ignoring me, gets on one knee and pulls out the ring. The dude was shaking so much, and I was in awe of the worst timing ever, that my mouth was open in shock. People around that I was excited so everyone gathers around the table starts cheering, the guy asks my friend and my friend just got up and walked out to her car and drove off.
I almost passed from second-hand embarrassment .All I remember if gasps and snickering from the people near me and he just sat in her place looking crushed. I didn’t know what to say. I feel kinda bad so I just got the check ASAP and gave him a pat on the back.
He is doing better, the last I heard, this has been about a year now.
My friend is still recovering from the whole ordeal lol.
I turned down a proposal using the excuse that he was drunk. He was but I knew he was serious. I drove him home and tried the old ‘I want to be friends’ speech but he shut me down. He said if I didn’t love him he would just have to get over me. And he got out of the car and walked away.
A day later I realized what a idiot I was being and I called him.
Tomorrow is our 26th anniversary.
From South India.. proposed her and got rejected right away. The reason is her parents won’t accept the marriage outside their caste. Long story short, I waited and she accepted me after 3 years and took another 5 years to convince both our families. Married at 2011 and expecting our 2nd child next month.
Sorry for bad English, not even my second Language here.
I had a couple of friends that had been seriously involved since college. They felt that marriage was a tool of the patriarchy, was only a piece of paper, etc. 6 years on and the relationship was still going strong.
They decided they wanted a kid. She got pregnant and things were going well. One night they had a serious discussion and decided that since there was going to be a baby they really needed to figure out the legal implications. They decided it was best if they got married so that there wouldn’t be any question of who takes care of the kid if something happened to one of them etc.
A little while later the guy realized that he was going to get married but it was decided more or less in a discussion after weighing the costs and benefits. Not very romantic. He decided, “Eff it, if we’re going to get married I should do this properly.”
So he plans and makes a fancy meal, candles, wine (with champagne at the ready), the whole 9 yards. At what he thought was the right moment, got down on his knee, presented her with a ring, and asked her to marry him. She looked aside and said, “Actually, I’ve been thinking about that a little more…”
She turned him down. I learned about this when he called me up to vent. He was hot, anger was his go to emotion. She had already agreed, it should have been a great moment for the both of them but instead he felt humiliated and foolish. I couldn’t blame him, after all she had already agreed to get married. Talk about a slam dunk marriage proposal lol.
They were still way into each other and did end up getting married once the kid was born. They’ve now been together for over 20 years but at the time I thought that their relationship was done.
I told my husband no the first time he asked. We were drunk and hadn’t been dating long, so I thought he was joking. (He will swear to you that it was not a joke and that he would have taken me to Vegas that night if I’d said yes.)
The second time I said no, he was on R&R from deployment and I think he asked because it felt like the right thing to do since I was waiting for him to get back so we could continue dating (and not seeing anyone else while he was gone), not because he really wanted to get married.
He asked again almost as soon as he got back and I said no again, to take a few months and decompress and just date for a little while. We kept dating and talking about it and decided the time was right about six months later.
I am SO GLAD I said no all those times. Not because he wasn’t the right one, but because he was and I didn’t want us to mess it up by getting married before we were both totally sure.
