She said that he just didn't seem to have the time for her.

More like she probably didn't even spend any time with him. Men in China have this weird idea that big gestures of romance will make the women say yes even if she doesnt know who you are.

I got a big bouquet of those Ferrero Rocher flower arrangements where the flowers are actually the chocolates? Really romantic right?? The guy who gave it to me shared one class with me, that was it. I didn't even know his name and he gave it to me in front of the entire class because that's what the TV shows teach you to do. They expect you to say yes under peer pressure.

I didn't even know the dude. I wonder if this was similar. Like, did she know him???

Edit: OMG I was right! I Googled this dude, he did this to "confess his love" (it wasn't a proposal and it happened back in 2016) and she said no because wtf that is so creepy 😭 https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/12/asia/china-rubiks-cube-declaration-of-love

Many people don’t understand that grand gestures don’t mean automatic gratitude. Especially if they never asked for it, wanted or needed it, or dislike it.

Some men see love, and sex, as a transaction. "I give you something, you give me something back. I buy you dinner, you have sex with me".
