Would you ever propose publically?

[Shaun]

:spin2:

[Niamh.]

well, as a girl I wouldn't be proposing but I wouldn't really like to be proposed to in public no

[InOne]

Always seems really corny for me, unless you're madly in love and were on the verge of doing it anyway. All that pressure, all those eyes watching and waiting :o

[MTVN]

No I'd feel like a right nob

[Maia]

No and I'd certainly hate if someone did to me

[Pyramid*]

As a female: I'd say no - both on proposing - and on being on the receiving end of it.

If the circumstances were right, it can be very sweet, loving etc: but I think it really depends on the two people involved.

The video that was put up the other day was lovely - but not everyone would like being the centre of attention in such a way.

[LemonJam]

Depends on the personality of the person I'm proposing to.

[Vicky.]

No.

I would feel like the person was kinda pressured into saying yes...I cant imagine many say no(even if they want to) when a big deal is made over it and others are there :S

[Samuel.]

Depends on the personality of the person I'm proposing to.

Yeah, really would depend on who I was proposing to.

[Stu]

Love tends to make me do insane things so it's a possibility.

[Jack_]

Hm, it'd depend. But I'd find it worse proposing in front of friends/family than I would in front of a bunch of strangers.

99% of the time the answer would be no though, so that's what I voted.

[Niall]

In a restaurant, but I'd only do it when it was later on in the evening and there are less people around. I'd never propose in front of family/friends or a full restaurant. Far too attention grabbing.

I'd most likely propose at home, or somewhere secluded.

[Tom4784]

No I'd rather do it in a more intimate setting, it would feel like i'm pressurising her by doing it in public.

[Niamh.]

Plus is such a personal moment I'd prefer it to be just the two of us

[Ninastar]

No.

[Jords]

Probably not no :laugh:

[Pyramid*]

What I'm finding really nice about this thread - are the amount of people who are staying away from the 'big razzamatazz public show'' - it's quite heartening that some thing like this are being viewed as 'private' moments.

[Ninastar]

I wouldn't want to be the one who proposes. I'd rather be proposed to.

[Samuel.]

If the one I was proposing to wanted that though, I'd happily do it.

You're about to ask somebody to commit their life to you, should be much more about what they want than the person proposing wants.

[Livia]

As a female I wouldn't propose. If someone proposed to me in public I would be mortified and would more than likely say no because they'd misjudged me so badly.

[Redway]

No. It all sounds so cliched and ridiculous.

[Pyramid*]

Mmm...not sure about that... I'd say it was as equally important: not only is a person being asked to commit their life to you, you are also giving them your committment to them.

I hear what you're saying though - but I think it's as important to both persons involved - unless of course the person being proposed to has made it clear that they always wanted the big ''showy proposal'' - if the person asking is as comfy with that - then go for it.

[Black Dagger]

No, could you imagine if he said he didn't want my cock for the rest of his life, I'd die, especially if I went to some form of effort.

[Pyramid*]

:joker:

[joeysteele]

I am likely a very long way from even thinking of proposing to anyone,if I ever do.
However, I have seen in others that being in love with someone can lead you to do some things you wouldn't dream of.

I would say I think I would never do so in public but i'd never say never to that,emotions may take over.

[Shaun]

I wonder if the tradition of women being proposed to, rather than proposing, will ever fade (except in the case of same-sex partners, and leap-days obviously :p)

Hopefully. And I'd imagine it will, most social concepts evolve and disappear.

But then I hold out for utopia, so maybe I'm a little bit optimistic in that respect...

[Shanna]

Oh No! That's my idea of a personal hell. All those eyes watching etc...!
