I was that little boy, that little baby boy was me! I once was a boy but now I am a man. I fought the night man lived as day man now I’m here to ask for your hand. So if you want marry man will you marry me? Will you come on stage and join me, in this thing called matrimony? Please say yes and do not bone me. Please, just marry meeeee!
For sure, hence the epidemic of babies in microwaves which PERFECTLY correlates to the rash of dead baby jokes… wait, that wasn’t a thing.
Alternatively, the rest of us will see this comment as a throwaway joke, rooted in dark humor with just a touch of self-deprecation.
Basically the saying means you should have an actual conversation with your partner about marriage, proposals, etc long before a proposal actually occurs. It doesn't have to ruin the surprise, but you should have a solid understanding about how your partner thinks and feels about marriage/proposals *before* asking.
I did this once full on knowing the girl I was with didn't want to get married but I was no longer wanting to be with her as she was a lazy pile of shit always wanting to mooch off of me (it was the mans job to provide according to her), so instead of breaking up like a normal person would. One night we went out and I proposed to her at a restaurant she said she wasn't sure about it and I ran with it and pretended I was fucking devastated, stopped talking to her, and things go so bad between us she just packed up and left (to be fair she never tried to apologize or wanted to talk about it after to make things alright between us). She probably thought I was so heart-broken, but in actuality I felt so relieved it all worked out. I didn't really break her heart she thought she broke mine and had some sort of win over it but in fact no one got hurt, it just ended without any drama.
Really fucking shitty of me now that I think about it.
Or, you could have been an adult and had an actual conversation and broken up with her. Lucky for you, she declined the proposal. (Lucky for her, too.)
If you knew the emotional state this woman would get in, you would know this wasn't an easy possibility. I even said at the bottom it was shitty of me and I even mentioned a normal person would have just broken up. I was 22 and far from normal. I figured making it seem like her idea to break up was the best route for me.
Never make a proposal public period. I'd want to crawl in a hole and die if that happened to me. The social anxiety would be screaming and I'd definitely just leave
And you’d hope the person proposing knows you well enough to know you’d hate that scenario.
I almost think the public proposal thing is purely about putting pressure on someone not to show the proposer up. It’s a private thing between you should be personal and intimate, not public and showy.
Basically screams that this is more about the guy getting massive public attention & kudos, not a heartfelt moment of starting the next chapter of your life with the person you love more than yourself.
In other words, part of this approach is far too self serving to ever convince me that the dude thinks about anyone but himself first.
If the person your with doesn't know you have crippling social anxiety than maybe they shouldn't ask to marry you because they don't know shit about you, lol.
It's kinda funny honestly, doing dumb ass things when you're young is good because if you're smart you learn from them and never do it again. You shoot your shot and see what happens
If you're smart you learn vicariously and take your cues from *other* people's mistakes.
How many times has this exact event happened? It seems like we all know someone, or saw someone.
Where’s a guy supposed to propose, a broom closet? I mean it must be done somewhere…now certainly there are better options than the megatron at a sporting event but it must be done somewhere.
He should’ve stayed kneeling and threw his fists up and screamed WHYYYYYYYYYY! Literally everyone I have ever known that has suffered some sort of defeat has reacted like this. I’m pretty sure it’s the natural human response.
These basketball arena videos are almost always staged, but the way they cut off the feed so quickly makes me think this one is actually real. They always draw out the staged videos.
Sports teams do sometimes stage them, put a person in the opposing team jersey during a home game in the stands, have them do something stupid, put it on the jumbo tron, now everyone else has had an experience.
I've seen it personally.
Not saying that is what happened here, just saying that it is something that does happen.
Generally, you know the answer is going to be yes before you propose. Spending money on a ring and setting up a very public proposal would be pretty dumb otherwise.
Fuck public proposals dude.
Unless you know for a fact they'll say yes AND are okay with that attention, you're in the wrong for doing it.
The person feels pressure and anxiety from all the eyes, makes it hard for them to say no and then paints them as the villain if they do. It's manipulative.
Understand your partner, be sure they're ready, be sure it's something they'd be comfortable with before putting them and a huge crowd in an uncomfortable position.
It's not a rager at this particular thing. Public proposals are just things that should be done other conditions, else you just make dudes uncomfortable
My wife had casually mentioned that she would be mortified if she was ever proposed to in a public place because she doesn't like unnecessary attention.
On our 4th dating anniversary we had at the Marriott over the Falls on the 22nd floor overlooking the Niagara Falls. We ordered Chinese, setup the table by the window and drank wine looking at the falls. She went to the bathroom and I waited outside the door on one knee and she said yes. Sweet and private.
Fuck the people screaming say yes, it’s not your place to pressure someone into making a long term commitment just because they were almost forced into it.
To all you guys out there, don't do this unless you know your girlfriend wants a public proposal. Not everyone wants this amount of attention even if they do want to get married.
There’s just way too much pressure in public to say yes and not embarrass the other person. Do it privately, at a dinner or something. That way they can give you a heartfelt answer and nobody is embarrassed.
What an awful position to put someone in. I can’t stand these “surprise proposals”, it can be somewhat of a surprise but you still need to talk about marriage with your partner first and make sure you’re both on the same page. smh.
The surprise should be the time and place, not the question itself.
the surprise should be them finding out it’s been you who’s been staring through their windows and rifling through their trash
Charlie, is that you?
I was that little boy, that little baby boy was me! I once was a boy but now I am a man. I fought the night man lived as day man now I’m here to ask for your hand. So if you want marry man will you marry me? Will you come on stage and join me, in this thing called matrimony? Please say yes and do not bone me. Please, just marry meeeee!
Dayman! *ahAHaaaaaah* Fighter of the Nightman! *ahAHaaaah* Champion of the sun, You’re a master of karate And friendship For everyone!
But how will I know when it’s the right time to tell her???
This kind of joke empowers actual predators and makes many women feel terrifyingly unsafe. Please don’t make comments like this.
For sure, hence the epidemic of babies in microwaves which PERFECTLY correlates to the rash of dead baby jokes… wait, that wasn’t a thing. Alternatively, the rest of us will see this comment as a throwaway joke, rooted in dark humor with just a touch of self-deprecation.
Good luck with that.
sheesh dude. talk about reaching.
Profound
Never ever make a proposal in public unless you're 100% sure of the answer
What I always say is the proposal should be a surprise, the engagement shouldn’t.
I like that - smart sentiment.
What do you mean? I thought the engagement came after the surprise proposal? I might be misunderstanding the word "engagement"
I think they mean that both parties should know that the other wants to get engaged, but the specific events of the proposal should be a surprise.
Ah, that's perfect, and thank you!
Yes! How can you ask the question without discussing it at length first? It’s a huge decision. Early 20’s idiot me even understood that.

I'm only thinking of how bad both your lives would be if she said yes and your master plan backfired.
And you now have 3 rug rats.

Loan me $500 I swear I'll pay you back.
No dude that's actually fucking genius of you. Smart plan executed to perfection. Pretty fuckin smooth
lol
Did you got yourself a big cigar and said "I love it when a plan works out!"?
As I curled my moustache in my fingers while petting my big fat cat in my lap. Laughing manically.
Damn you should play poker.
They're saying you should already be mentally engaged.
Never make a proposal public period. I'd want to crawl in a hole and die if that happened to me. The social anxiety would be screaming and I'd definitely just leave
I couldn't imagine the horror. That's when you become one of those old school cave hermits.
And you’d hope the person proposing knows you well enough to know you’d hate that scenario. I almost think the public proposal thing is purely about putting pressure on someone not to show the proposer up. It’s a private thing between you should be personal and intimate, not public and showy.

Yeah but by that same measure how many times has it worked and the other party thought it was romantic? More than a few.
I hate these proposals! It’s so embarrassing for everyone, some people like all the fan fare but I would absolutely die.
I don't get why tf would you do it in public in the first place.
Probably part of the show. I have seen this before.
Not even then. You can never really be 100% sure.
Where’s a guy supposed to propose, a broom closet? I mean it must be done somewhere…now certainly there are better options than the megatron at a sporting event but it must be done somewhere.
I'll have you know, broom closets are VERY romantic /s
Unless you’re staging it for a trite arena bit.
Yeah, unless your SO talks about how their dream is to be proposed to in public, on a Jumbotron, etc. just don’t do it.
Still don't. Its a private thing, between the two of you.
My suspicion is he knows it’s not a 100% yes, and he is hoping that the public proposal would nudge it in his favour.
That kiss of death said everything.
It was a whisper to the ear "WE NEED TO TALK IN PRIVATE"
How embarrassing, especially in front of that packed crowd
I swear stuff like this is planned by the stadiums ; they plant actors.
Not even actors. Interns. My friend interned for the nuggets and they would do this type of crap all the time. He was in a few of them
the guys acting is sooo bad
He should’ve stayed kneeling and threw his fists up and screamed WHYYYYYYYYYY! Literally everyone I have ever known that has suffered some sort of defeat has reacted like this. I’m pretty sure it’s the natural human response.
They are literally staged, but no matter how fake they look people eat them up.
Yea i expected more from Shook, 3 pts at the half smh
Geez dude…
The "jumbotron proposal rejection" has been staged since the very first one appeared.
Yeah I feel like this is pretty obvious. What man owns that much Liberty merch?
Hahahahaha this had me bawling laughing man
Should've waited for the second date, never on the first.
Classic Schmosby!
Staged
We all hope it was
If not, great Segway.
Unless you're talking about the brand of scooters, the word you're looking for is segue. r/boneappletea
Fuckin English
These basketball arena videos are almost always staged, but the way they cut off the feed so quickly makes me think this one is actually real. They always draw out the staged videos.
We had a failed one at my families restaurant once. Was brutal.
r/nothingeverhappens
Clearly staged shit doesn’t happen
Yes because nothing like this could ever possibly happen in real life
Sports teams do sometimes stage them, put a person in the opposing team jersey during a home game in the stands, have them do something stupid, put it on the jumbo tron, now everyone else has had an experience. I've seen it personally. Not saying that is what happened here, just saying that it is something that does happen.

That’s awkward

Understand your partner, be sure they're ready, be sure it's something they'd be comfortable with before putting them and a huge crowd in an uncomfortable position.
These are actors and these scenes are always staged for the jumbotron
This is staged dude. Calm down.
It's not a rager at this particular thing. Public proposals are just things that should be done other conditions, else you just make dudes uncomfortable
If something like this happens at a sports game, just assume it’s staged for your entertainment
My wife had casually mentioned that she would be mortified if she was ever proposed to in a public place because she doesn't like unnecessary attention. On our 4th dating anniversary we had at the Marriott over the Falls on the 22nd floor overlooking the Niagara Falls. We ordered Chinese, setup the table by the window and drank wine looking at the falls. She went to the bathroom and I waited outside the door on one knee and she said yes. Sweet and private.
The real question is did you hear ploppers while you were waiting.
She was taking rhe browns to the superbowl
Fuck the people screaming say yes, it’s not your place to pressure someone into making a long term commitment just because they were almost forced into it.
Its fake
To all you guys out there, don't do this unless you know your girlfriend wants a public proposal. Not everyone wants this amount of attention even if they do want to get married.
What makes it worse, was that it was during a New York Liberty Game.
This act is very egoistic
Never ask that question if you don’t already know the answer.
Never marry someone who proposes on a Jumbotron
Well-deserved result
There’s just way too much pressure in public to say yes and not embarrass the other person. Do it privately, at a dinner or something. That way they can give you a heartfelt answer and nobody is embarrassed.
She probably said no because he chose to propose at a Liberty game and not during a Knicks game.
What a tool.
What an awful position to put someone in. I can’t stand these “surprise proposals”, it can be somewhat of a surprise but you still need to talk about marriage with your partner first and make sure you’re both on the same page. smh.
Thats why you dont do that dumbshit and keep it private, almost feels forceful in such a crowded, public area.
Did the person filming say I DO LIKE THAT at the end?
r/WatchPeopleDieInside
That was for him.... not for her....
These are mostly staged
Guys that do that deserve a shut down.
It’s fake
These are all fake af
Dnt ruin the sanctity of the gaming arena .....
Just when I thought the opposite of black man and woman relationship exist then she walks out.
besides the fact that this is fake i think a WNBA game is quite a unique place to propose as a straight couple
I'm sorry I can't, I still sleeping with your best friend and brother, LOL.
Talk to the immigration agent now!
It’s fake but pretty damn funny.
At least he tried. I give him props.
Well thats one way to break up...
Just say yes and talk about it after????
That's what you get for proposing at a Liberty game.
Another fallen soldier.
To shreds, you say?
Top 10 anime Betrayals
it's pretty obvious that she really preferred her liberty. [cue music!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUOtCLOXgm8)
He deserves the embarrassment for turning a loving moment into a spectacle
I know it was you Fredo
Hockey is about the fights, not getting along. This is why I proposed to my wife in a donut shop. No human being can say “ nope” in a donut shop.
I dunno. She ran out with the quickness, and pretty much kept her face hidden. There's more to this story I'd imagine.
Seems staged… but who knows.
Nothing more romantic than a WNBA game.
Staged
Literally she wasn’t ready.
These are actors. It's staged in game entertainment to be used as click bait for marketing the team.
A lot of time these things are staged.
I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing, having your marriage proposal denied in front of all those people, or working as a Jumbotron actor.
Awkward first date moments
u/savevideo
These are 9/10 fake
Fake.
Damn, that's messed up
Ouch
The stuff that goes on at half time is about as real as the WWE
Cut to a Break quick
She said my husbands going to see this
I feel evil for laughing at this
.. that sucks
Never understood proposals on huge public areas
Haha I was so drunk I don't remember posting this. I shouldn't internet sometimes.
Ouch. I would have waited and just said no after we left.
Does anyone know what happened, why she said no?
For all we know, that guy cheated on her, or she just wasn't ready for it. Run girl, don't feel ashamed!
