What's Your Take on Public Proposals?

February 25, 2019 3:52am CST
It's now a norm for people to publicly propose to their partners. Now people are forcing to find different ways of proposing to their partners. This became a serious topic for discussion with my friends. Whiles some thought it was romantic , others thought it was pointless. Basically, what is the whole idea of going into the public before proposing? A friend explained that, it was to prove to the partner and the world the love he has for the partner. However, a serious arguement that came up was that, people who proposed in public was scared to get "NO" for answer . Since the partner will be overwhelmed or will not want public disgrace , they will always say "Yes". Do you think public proposals are more romantic? Why do you think people propose in public? How many public proposals have you heard of that went wrong?

Where in the world does this happen? Your post would make more sense to me if you added the name of your country. Is there a special reason why you haven't done it? I am German, and I have never heard of this custom.

it isn't necessarily a custom . when i used the word 'norm' i meant it is becoming a usual thing for most people.

@HappiDee What do the words 'usual' and 'most people' mean for you? I live in Germany, a country with 80+ million inhabitants. You are certainly not speaking for them.

Hmm That wasn't a big deal many years ago. It was seen as a romantic thing to have your boyfriend profess his love in front of all the world. Also maybe the men feel pressured into doing a big spectal due to the girlfriends insecurity. Some women believe that if a man refuses to propose publicly, that he is up to no good Personally public proposal is not my cup of tea, but this is something I'd let my partner know if we wanted marriage to begin with

It is just that the modern age people prefer to show off about everything

I think that is pointless. It's like to grab attention of other people.. just show off.it Is not like expressing love

I don't know if this happening to other parts of the world but I don't like the idea. It is too much for me. Proposal should be done privately and I consider people doing this over dramatic and "corny".
