Men Who Were Told No When They Proposed Are Sharing What Happened Next, And All I Can Say Is “Yikes”

“I asked her after three years of being together. We had previously talked about marriage and I had bought a measuring tool to get our ring sizes because neither of us wore jewelry. She was part of that whole process.”

“I ordered the rings, waited a few weeks, and proposed in her apartment. She said she wasn’t sure because we hadn’t even been living together and we were both still in university.
