I have been married now for a very long time to the love of my life... but when I was young and single just about every guy I dated wanted to get married. I was waiting and praying for "the one," so I never really dated anyone much longer than 3 months before moving on once knowing that person wasn't the one. None of those guys really KNEW me. They liked my appearance, personality, etc. I checked a lot of boxes.... but it was like they wanted a box-checking hunting kill... I just fit the bill. Thank God for the Holy Spirit guiding me through that to my husband.
They shouldn't. But some do. I always thought just say yes then let him have it later. The movies and some women have some men thinking they need a big Hollywood gesture for it to be memorable and meaningful
The whole thing seems a waste of money. The propose in a fancy restaurant with an expensive ring, the wedding dress that is only used once, the marriage ceremony with lots of obscure people, and so on. Maybe for the rich people, but for average people, they could really save the money and use it for something more useful.
We never had a proposal, in fact someone asked us once how my husband proposed and we looked with a blank stare as we just sort of decided together and had no idea exactly when. We also eloped and I had a normal dress and bought the cheapest rings available, $20 each if I remember right. I was a 3rd generation eloper and no divorces.
Yes. If you're really sure, fine, go with this method... But it definitely fails and if you put a woman in a situation where she has to say no in this context she's probably never going to talk to you again. Overall it's considered extremely foolish and a bad and disrespectful risk to propose in public if the issue has not already come up.
Can women actually say "no" in that kind of set-up?
Yes

The embarrassment. If I really cared for a girl, I wouldn't propose in a public place making her difficult to say "No".
The one in the mall...the way he went on about the cupcakes... I wanted to run out of there too.
If you really cared for a girl I would think you would know if she didn't want to marry you but who knows...

I think most men have a pretty good idea of how she'll respond before they'd even put themselves in that position.
I started and couldn't watch. ouch
Oh man...brutal!
SPEZ: @~3:00, a mall food court??? A fucking food court?
Gee, I dont know if its the intoxicating infusion of cheap Mexican, Italian, Asian food, or generic fast food, but love is in the air!
