Am I alone in feeling a little skeeved by the arm twisting implied by proposing to a woman in a highly public setting?
If she says no, whatever her reasons, she looks like a villain. Not very nice.
Did I mention I am old? Admitting fully this may just be me who sees it this way.
Full credit to LRR for good intent.
Still love you, my favorite kooky Canadians.
God I miss ENN.
1. she already made her intentions to say yes to my proposal clear so there was NO chance for a negative answer.
2. almost our entire friendship/relationship has been nerdy as hell and this was the best way i could think to continue that tradition.
3. she LOVES LRR and MTG as much as i do so it was a perfect combo. Also when she saw a similar proposal on Extra credits a couple weeks ago she loved it so I figured. why not?
p.s. she said yes and LOVED it it took her ten minutes to get the silly grin off her face. (then she went right back to slaying evil in assassin's creed brotherhood..... god i love this woman.
Indeed- in the months before my fiance offical 'popped the question', I said many a time "if you ask, I'll say yes". The actual proposal is just more making it offical, and giving the girl something shiny to show off with. (Technically, my fiance never actually 'popped the question'... his proposal was giving me a necklace, then pulling out a ring box while I was distracted and saying "So is it yes or what?" It was great. ^^)JoelChenFA said:Its funny how people who never proposed think that when your propose its the first time the question is discussed. How many proposals are more than just a grand gesture the lady can brag to her friends about?zorrandur said:actually I was the one proposing to my girlfriend and it was pretty much a sure thing from the get go. Also I've asked her in numerous ways this was simply the official way. brought to you by brady games... i kid i kid. i was going for something nerdy and semi public so I'd have something to shareLeeshaJoy said:Am I the only one who finds this sort of marriage proposal more than a little tacky? Any sort of public proposal is problematic, because there's enormous pressure on the other party to say yes regardless of his or her feelings on the matter. And when you don't even have the balls to ask in person...
but hey thanks for the two cents![]()
Very happy for you both. Not an attack on you personally, I was talking about the entire trend of public proposals. Not a fan.zorrandur said:I was the one who proposed and I'm all for more traditional proposals but this is how it went.wonkify said:Maybe this is a generational issue, meaning I am just too old, but I really dislike the gimmick proposal.
