public proposal?

If you're a guy would you propose to your girlfriend publicly or privately? If you're a girl would you like to be proposed to publicly or privately? For example you'll sing in a classy restaurant... dedicate it to your girlfriend... then afterwards kneel down before your girl in front of everyone who's watching the show...

i think i will like to have a private proposal... as i feel that it is something personal... not a show that everyon is watching. and also we will have the pleasure of announcing it to our family and friends!!!

yeah I understand... because sometimes when it is a public proposal it is just the spur of the moment that the girl says yes... something like she's too shy to refuse... unless she doesn't really like the guy... is that right?

ummm... yeah... and also if you are with alot of people you will be able to say your heart's feelings but if you are with people around you you may be too embrassed to talk about it or you will have want to show off and end up being insceincere... and also telling the family afterwards will also hit the fact home that you are engaged to the man you love!!!

Its not bad if the proposal is public it would be memorable. Whats bad about it is if your still not ready to get married, it's hard to turn down the guy in public. Complete humiliation for him right?!

yeah that's right... it's like you would be forced to say yes and later on regret it...

I really would like to be private, first of all, an rejection of this kind in public, would probably hunt me for the rest of the life, evan private, but public, pff, .. no comment :P And I would do it privately becouse you can start early the honeymoon hehe!:D I think a more romantic dinner at home/hotel anywere private with the propose is 10x better than public made!

i think any such proposal should be made in private places. the other person may not like it to be made in public places. in a restaurants with a ring is still ok.

I have always dreamed of being proposed to publicly, singing in front of a crowd for me, playing a guitar or a piano for me or something like that. But then i realized that no matter how the proposal is done, the delivery or expenses, the most romantic moment is that your man wants to start a life with you, wants to wake up every morning with you by his side and wants to grow old with you. (^^,)

I would really propose in a private place. May be, I would suround myself with some friends. Friends can make it a happier moment. If its a public place, you cant do a few things ;-) The first kiss is the best. You can always foolow it up by impressing her in public places.
