some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the worst way a lover ever proposed.
I’m Melissa and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by MsIreneAdler Gooby When Gooby was 16, she worked part time in
a call center with a guy in his early 20's. A lot of her female colleges acted like he
was disgusting, and she felt sorry for him so she chatted with him.
One day they finished early and Gooby’s friend suggested the four of them go to lunch,
bad teeth dude included. Off they went, but on the way the other two made "excuses" and
went away giggling, leaving Gooby and bad tooth guy alone. She was immediately super
uncomfortable and it got worse as he explained that he'd "planned it all" to get some alone
time with her. After getting coffee, Gooby said she had to go and catch her bus home.
He offered to walk with her and, on the way, stopped and said they were right by his house
and if she would like to see his cat. She agreed, and they went up to his apartment
and saw a little black and white cat. She bent over to pet the cat and hear a click
behind her- he had locked the door. He told her that he would drive her home instead,
then led her to the sofa where he insisted she sit and watch a children's cartoon. At
this point, Gooby was petrified. Halfway through this film, he put his arm
around her and got real close. He whispered, "I'm not really 22, Gooby. I'm actually 30.
And I know you're only 16, but I think we can really make this work- long term. My cat
likes you. Will you marry me?" She told him that she needed to think about it, then asked
if she could use the toilet. She ran the fuck out of there and called her dad. He quit his
job the next day and she never saw him again.
Number 9 was submitted by ChubbyMangle Hellbent One time when he was 12, a girl, Pandora,
was sitting next to Hellbent and started acting really weird. She took his papers and drew
hearts on them while he wasn't looking, and would always hold his hand. During the day,
they were learning about fractions and, out of nowhere, she yelled to him, "I LOVE YOU
HELLBENT!!!" It was the most awkward and embarrassing day
of his life. Shortly after, they started dating and they still are!
Number 8 was submitted by Dead_girl_666 Shima When Shima was 19 she dated this guy and who
wanted to ask her to marry him, but instead he had their gay best friend do it for him.
Now, she laughs about it. He later became her ex after he cheated on her.
Another time, when she was 20, Shima dated an 18 year old. They went to Taco Bell, where
he threw a hot sauce packet at her that said "Marry me?" on it. She just shook her head
and told him it wasn't what she had pictured. He made up for it by getting her a ring, although
now he's an ex.
Number 7 was submitted by babygirlsenpai Andiemations When Andiemations turned 19 she celebrated
with her boyfriend, Adam, who she currently lives with. As they were going into the restaurant,
he was acting strange. He was shaking nervously and sweating a lot, plus when he spoke he
stuttered. It was weird because he never did those kinds of things before. As the night
was coming to end, he stood up suddenly and walked to Andie’s side of the table, kneeling
down and taking out a box. He was about to pop the question when he frozen and threw
up on her dress. She said “no” because they were still young. They spent the night
at the hospital because he ended up with food poisoning.
Number 6 was submitted by reddit_gal_101 Doopie Doopie was spending the night at her boyfriend's
house. He was going to give her a promise ring but didn't have the money. So he asked
her for the money, and got it. So she was using the bathroom, but her boyfriend thought
she was putting on lip gloss. He BURST into the bathroom with the ring and yelled, "MARRY
ME!" Doopie screamed and he yelled, dropping the ring in the sink. He was sorry, and Doopie
was OK with it. They didn't talk to each other the whole day. They watched Rick and Morty,
and at the end Doopie started laughing and said, "What is wrong with you!" while chuckling.
Number 5 was submitted by xXKitten_NerdXx Ladybot
So Ladybot was at her friend’s house having a party. She grabbed a rare steak when it
was time for dinner, and her boyfriend came up to her and asked if they could share the
steak. Ladybot agreed, and when she took a bite of the steak, HE PUT THE RING ON IT.
The ring was in the side of her cheek and, as she was about to swallow, he said, "Uh,
babe, look at your meat." Ladybot didn't care, and she swallowed, choking on the ring. She
was really upset but forgave him, and everything turned out great.
Number 4 was submitted by nekonoel13 Robo Robo had been dating her long distance lover
for almost 2 years and had never met him in person. One day, she went to go see him during
the week she was visiting her father. It was a three-hour train ride from where her father
lived, and her lover lived. So Robo and her lover went to a large park where he had her
sit on a bench. Her lover got down on both knees, looked her in the eyes, and said nothing
for a bit before flipping her the bird! Robo was so shocked and embarrassed that she did
not notice the engagement ring on his middle finger. It was not until after a long angry
rant and him laughing that she noticed it. They are still married to this day.
Number 3 was submitted by Poppypop123 SacredSnewpee So when SacredSnewpee was 13, there was this
guy that she liked who invited her to go out. On the day of their "date", he picked her
up and they went to a nice restaurant. They were having a nice time as just 2 friends.
But near the end of the night, he knelt down and pulled out a little ring, asking her to
be his girlfriend. She stood up from her seat and, as he was still kneeling, a lady walked
passed SacredSnewpee and hit her hard, knocking her forward and sending her knee straight
into the guy’s nuts. They both fell on top of each other, and he reached up to try and
grab the table but he only pulled down the cloth and everything fell on top of them.
They were covered in their sodas, their spaghetti and the garlic bread and butter. Covered in
drinks and food, he put the ring on her finger and they went back to his house to hang out.
His friends ended up coming so all 5 boys sat on his couch playing video games while
SacredSnewpee sat on a different chair all alone, doing nothing. She told her boyfriend
that she was going to leave because she was tired. Turning to go to the door, she stepped
in a pile of his dog’s pee that was on the floor. It was a pretty horrible night, and
her parents couldn't pick her up so she had to walk 6 blocks in heels.
On the way back, she stepped in dog poop.
Number 2 was submitted by Kingh666 Cid Cid was 22 when he was dating this girl. She
was really nice, but also really strange at times. On Thanksgiving her, Cid, and a bunch
of family and friends got together. While they all gathered at the table to eat, she
looked rather uncomfortable. Cid asked, “What’s wrong?” She just assured him that everything
was fine. Well, when she went to get the turkey, she came back with it, got on one knee – very
rushed – and asked him to marry her. But it turned out that she literally broke her
knee. She dropped the turkey and started crying. Cid didn’t know exactly what was going on
with her, but they literally dropped all communication after that day.
