A man has been praised for keeping romance alive after proposing to his girlfriend with a message written on a takeaway food box.
Jim Lardner ordered a toasted sandwich from a nearby cafe through Just Eat, and in the notes he added a special request that has since gone viral.
First, he asked for red onions on his toastie, then he asked for them to write 'will you marry me' on the outside of the packaging.
Staff at Kilbowie Cafe in Clydebank, Scotland, kindly obliged and Jim said he expected his partner would 'be ecstatic', but later shared his story on Twitter - adding "she said no".
What do you think about Jim's romantic gesture? Let us know in the comments...
Jim's note to Kilbowie Cafe in Clydebank, Scotland, reads: "Can I get red onions on the toastie with onions please. Can you write 'will you marry me' on the box with the onion toastie.
"She will be ecstatic. Thanks."
But he must have been wrong because later he shared his story on Twitter and said: "Shout out to Kilbowie Cafe, she said no."

After sharing his story online, other Twitter users praised Jim's failed romantic gesture.
One said: "Who said romance is dead? You forgot the Poundland engagement ring."
And another said: "Think he got her an onion ring!"
Then a third added: "Proper tickled hahaha."
Meanwhile, when it comes to proposals, people have all sorts of ideas of grandeur - from candles and flowers to skywriting and surprise trips.
But other people would be happy with just the question - no matter how it was asked or whether or not there was a ring.
One woman recently claims to have gotten engaged in an Asda supermarket and it's fair to say she's not too pleased about it.
In an anonymous post on the parenting forum Netmums, the woman said she was "extremely upset" that her partner hadn't made more of an effort when popping the big question.
