How does someone even propose without having a basic idea of whether she will say yes? And I hate the concept of public proposals. Such an impersonal thing.

Make your proposal in private. Don't embarrass someone's daughter in public !!!

AquaRetro · 2020-08-22T16:48:26+00:00

Okay, then she returns the ring later and is a b**** for getting his hopes up and saying yes in the first place. Can't win.

Why the hell does it matter that he is someones son?

Don't manipulate someone's daughter.

I once had a guy friend who I used to like but got over him as we barely spoke. He embarrassed himself by calling me his gf and that we were gonna get married and have kids in the near future. He did this OUT OF NOWHERE at his friend couple's house. I was not responding and would scoot away when he would try to hug me. His friends (married to each other) cringed so hard and said to him , "please stop, you're embarrassing yourself. I feel bad for you 😬😬😬 shes clearly not interested, why would u say that"

He made us all uncomfortable AND THEY CALLED HIM OUT FOR IT .

That's how u handle a dilusional creep who doesnt care about your boundaries.

In high school I a guy I had maybe one class with in 4 years and had barely spoken to did like a huge public “promposal” for me and I got so much hate for saying no, like I literally didn’t know him but he got balloons so I was supposed to ditch my friend’s plans and go with him instead of a group of women I actually liked???

JustStudenting · 2020-08-22T16:03:07+00:00

If anyone did this to me I'd be furious.

The day my ex did this, I had a feeling it was coming. I remember having so much anxiety about the situation, I threw up at work. He proposed to me in front of 30 of our closet family and friends. Even though he knew I had never wanted a public proposal. I was forced to say yes. When I ended the engagement I was the bad guy for saying yes in the first place.

We always have to worry their feelings but ours are never taken into consideration.

What kind of grown asses man needs his mommy to protect his fee-fees?

moxymoxalone · 2020-08-22T16:03:08+00:00

He deserved what he got for being such an attention whore.

gracefullrose · 2020-08-22T17:06:04+00:00

If she accepts the ring then she should be able to return it to the store he bought it at and keep the refund. Don't return it to the scrote who set her up for public embarrassment.

BabyGothQ · 2020-08-22T22:35:55+00:00

“Someone’s son”

Is she not someone’s daughter?

Fuck outta here.

ItsFreezen · 2020-08-22T18:44:53+00:00

This called is manipulation Scrotes. Do you understand?

sushiwalrus · 2020-08-22T23:43:03+00:00

Is this in a fucking mall lololol

Charming_Mix7930 · 2020-08-22T23:56:27+00:00

My parents are divorced because they grew appart. But their engagement (back in the 70s) was something they told us to set an example: they randomly decided to get married in the car, alone. They were discussing it for weeks, decided. Drove to stationary shop to buy a notebook and pens, went to a cafe, wrote a first draft, worked it for a week after, and then told everyone they were planning on getting married and these were their ideas.

Easy.

MakeURegret · 2020-08-23T00:54:24+00:00

The proposal should be the surprise, the engagement shouldn’t.

queen-wannabe · 2020-08-22T20:29:59+00:00

I’d say yes, go somewhere, pawn it. Then say I lost your ring! Also I don’t wanna get married to you. Or if I wanted to piss him off, I’d say that I sold it 😂

catchaleaf · 2020-08-23T12:12:09+00:00

Public proposal. Public rejection. At least have a convo beforehand before you do this. Also we don’t know the full story what if he cheated, she said no previously, or something like that. I saw this on Twitter and everyone was like “never do someone’s son like this, say yes no matter what” , that’s so manipulative and puts unnecessary pressure on the girl.
