Would You Appreciate A Public Proposal?
Embarrassing, cringe worthy, amazing, wonderful, cheesy, romantic; what’s the word you think of when a public proposal is mentioned?
It completely depends upon the type of person receiving the proposal. Some people love it, some hate it and others wouldn’t mind so long as they get married!
If you’re planning to marry this person, you’re most likely going to know them through and through so you’ll know what they like and more importantly, what they don’t.
A FemaleFirst survey showed that 40 per cent of people thought that a public proposal is embarrassing, so if you or your partner falls into this category then absolutely do not propose in public.
The chance is if they’re hugely embarrassed they won’t enjoy the moment and could even say no which makes the entire experience a huge embarrassment for the both of you. Proposing in private will make it personal and a lot more romantic.
Our survey also showed that 32 per cent of you think that public proposals are cheesy. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they would hate a public proposal; you just have to be original!
This puts the kibosh on hiding the ring in food because, quite frankly, this is hugely outdated and often ends in someone chocking on something.
Play to what you’re partner likes and use that as a starting point. Don’t make anything too complicated and don’t add stress to a situation that’s meant to be a highlight in your relationship.
There are quite a sizeable 28 per cent of people who think that a public proposal is still romantic, so for them, there are a huge variety of things that you can do to show your love for each other publicly.
There are still a few major rules to follow. Don’t do it in front of your families! You don’t know what their reactions will be and it may cause upset for them and added stress for you. You’ll get to tell them as soon as it happens anyway!
Don’t push your partner for an answer straight away, it’s a massive decision and they’ll most likely be overwhelmed by the situation so don’t expect a massive yes as soon as you’ve produced the ring!
Lastly, don’t be offended if they say no. It’s a huge decision and just because you’re ready to marry doesn’t always mean your partner will be.
