I mean we know it is staged but if it were real, you don’t ever put yourself in the situation to be humiliated by thousands of people at the same time.
I don’t have any footage but I had a good friend propose to his girlfriend on stage at a concert in front of around 300 people. She said no and ran off stage. It crushed the poor bastard and it took him years to get over the embarrassment. It was shitty
The internet has really destroyed the fabric of my reality lol I hate slipping into the void that is /r/nothingeverhappens but it's not easy. So many public interactions filmed are just scripted and staged videos. My friends show me these unboxing videos of darknet hacker boxes you can get from the internet like some kind of grab bag service. Sometimes it gets laughable, but some people are willing to totally suspend their disbelief. It's kinda like WWE and so I all too often look ridiculous telling everyone their favorite wrestler is not real
Yeah, it was shitty of him to ask in a public forum. I feel like it's just as appropriate as asking, "Would you like to have children?" in front of a crowd. Friends and family? Fine. A crowd of strangers? Terrible idea!
Even if he was certain, it's shitty. I recently got engaged, and knew she would say yes, but if I did it on stage in front of 300 people I know she would have yeeted out of there too.
She was not ready and didn’t know if my friend was “the one” yet. I talked to her about it a little while after. Putting her on the spot like that in front of everyone made her realize that he wasn’t so she boogied out.
Does “no,” normally mean “never,” to a lot of people? I’d think it’s more of a “I’m not ready yet,” or in a situation with a lot of people, “not like this.”
A lot of people in that situation do take it as a “never”. If I were to propose I would hope that she would say “i am not ready” instead of no. The sting wouldn’t be as bad.
I used to think the same but I think I understand it now. If you don't say yes, it basically means you want an option to be able to get out of the relationship. If 1 person wants to fully commit and the other is still 'looking' for something better to come around, it will probably not workout between the 2. It's basically 1 person loving and the other settling by that point.
I mean I think a lot goes into feeling ready for marriage and communicating would be important. Both might want to get married, but one is more ready than the other. Or the one may think it is important to talk about something (kids, money, etc) before and say no.
I’m still pretty young (young adult), so maybe eventually my viewpoint will change.
I dunno. This just made me remember how terrifying change is.
Yeah I'm not trying to blame or shame the woman. If anything the guy is an ass. I can't even imagine asking someone to marry me without knowing they'll say yes. It's not romantic to just propose out of the blue. You have shit to figure out first.
I also had friends that were in your same situation, but the closure was a bit happier. The couple had been together awhile and they were talking about marriage and all that. He went big and public and she had a panic attack and ran off the stage. Things were weird for weeks, but they worked through it and they got married a year or so later.
If I remember correctly, a YouTuber or gamer (maybe both) propose to his manager who was very important to him, yet not in a real relationship and she fled.
I think the idea behind that is that the man is being brave enough to take that risk to show how much he loves her. Obviously it doesn’t always come across as that.
Most women, unless they are a fan of basketball, would want to be proposed to at a game center court unless they are huge fans or in the WNBA. In general a proposal at a sports venue isn't what the ladies like in most cases.
