56 Women Who Rejected Proposals — And Their Jaw-Dropping Reasons Will Change How You See Love Forever
I had found out after we had broken up that she wanted me to ask her to marry her. I never did because I wanted to wait until I had my degree and had a real job to support both of us. I still lived with my mom but she didn’t care. She would have said yes if I asked her. Fortunately we found out we were NOT good for each other a few years after and broke up. My buddy told me that apparently she confessed quite a bit to him that she was waiting for me to pop the question. I’m glad I didn’t because we’d probably be divorced by now. But I’m an almost 30 year old man with a college degree and good job living with his mom posting on reddit at work… so… I got that goin’ for me.
She’s married now and I think expecting a kid.
I think I may be happier as a bachelor, I wasn’t good at the relationship stuff.
*Update: Apparently people care more about my living situation than my failed relationship which is actually kind of interesting to me. I will say based on the page we’re on this should be, and pretty much has been, a judgment free zone. I’m happy to answer any questions about both situations as long as it’s respectful.*.
Well it was a blonde girl at this hindu festival, we were there as a whole office party. I dated her for only maybe couple of weeks but while talking with some old married indian couple i decided to confess my love to her. I made it public, she said no, she wanted us to talk about it. Anyway, we broke up and now i’m dating my boss.
So ever since I was little when I asked how my parents got engaged this is what I got.
“Yeah your father had to ask me three times to marry him before I said yes. It was at this beautiful restaurant so on and so forth.”
Cool so my dad was denied twice and got accepted on the third go around. I asked my brothers and they agreed this is the story.
Nope
Turns out my parents suck at telling stories. My father took my mother out to a fancy restaurant and said “will you marry me.”
My mother being dumb was like, “yes at some point we plan on getting married” and kept going on with her life.
Then right after my dad was like “dude will you marry me?” And my mother said “of course we will don’t worry.”
And then my dad decided Oh maybe I should get down on one knee type deal and my mother finally understood and accepted.
They only corrected us last year after they heard us tell my brothers fiancé how they got engaged and they were like no that’s not true. I’ve been lied to.
Edit: I’m 21 and found out earlier this year. My brothers never knew the truth either.
Me: If I asked you, would you say yes?
Her: Are you asking me?
Me: I guess I sort of am.
Her: Then yes.
Me: Oy. Now I’ve got to get a ring.
Her: Forget it. If that’s you’re first thought, now it’s no.
A few months later I asked again more properly, and she said yes. We went a long run before divorcing.
Dated this girl off and on for 12 years. Most recently we had been together 6 years. We’re on a trip to the Philippines and we’re swimming in this beautiful lagoon. I decide it’s the perfect setting to propose. I begin with “hey baby” and she must have heard it in my voice because she turned around and said “doooon’t do it”. Took the wind out of my sail real quick. She eventually said yes a few months later in Australia.
So my other half doesnt care for “pomp” or fuss or anything like that. Hates it all. So I told him to “book the registry office” then. That is how we are. He said no and said it wasnt a real proposal. Everyone he has spoken to has said it was a proposal.
Now we are in the stage where I am trying to find a way to ask more officially but its going slower.
My then-girlfriend proposed to me on the leap day of 1992. I said no (I was too young to know better). We went our separate ways … long story … and came together again, now married 19 years. The result of saying no was 5 wasted years!
I was proposed to by my ex boyfriend and accepted, then changed my mind the next day. We loved each other a lot, but we fought like cats and dogs. We stayed together for a couple of years after that, but he eventually broke it off, in a very vengeful way.
He married someone else after dating for only a year. They have been together for many years now, but they fight a lot, more than we did. He now recognizes that he was a stubborn, difficult person and that he wasn’t a good partner. He regrets being such a difficult person with me but I am happy I dodged a bullet. I really don’t like fighting with people who I am close to, or even in contact with every day. I prefer a more rational way of settling issues, with some give and take. Wow, the more I think about it, the happier I am I rejected him.
