s/o: public proposals

EastCoastBride · January 2012

If you were ever proposed to in a very public manner by someone you actually didn't want to get married to, what would you do?

Say no, walk off (or whatever) and totally embarass the guy, or just roll with it, say "yes", then deal w/ it later when you're in private?

I would probably say no.... Before I would have said yes and dealt with later, But now, after everything I have been through, I don't see the point in giving someone false hope.

I'd probably say yes then deal with it in private...especially if it was at a ball game or something and he was my ride home! I'm likely to grin and bear it when it comes to things in public (fights, etc) and later deal with them in private.

To answer my own question, i'd probably say "yes", but it would be so hard to then fake the "OH!!! I'm so happy!!!! WEEEE!!! I just got engaged".

I think once the camera's were off us, I'd be telling him it's time to leave!

I hate to admit it, but I probably couldn't say no in a huge crowd like that -- I think I'd probably say yes, and then once we got home or in the car or whatever we'd need to talk...

I can't even imagine a public proposal like that! I guess I would probably say no if I didn't really want to marry the man or tell him that I needed to talk to him in private.

I would probably say yes and then deal with it later in private. However, it always surprises me that people will propose when they aren't sure of the answer. I just assumed conversations occur prior to the proposal to guarantee the answer.

Good lord. I'd let the guy down easy. I find it hard to believe that a public proposal would happen without the guy KNOWING for sure she was going to say yes (it, they discussed marriage, on the same page, etc.).

If that discussion never happened...well.... .::whistle::.

I'd probably say yes and deal with it later.

Uh, yeah. If a guy is proposing to me in public and marriage has never even been discussed (or been discussed, but I said I wasn't ready), I would say no and not feel bad about it.

If it had been discussed, but I had a change of heart, I would say yes and deal with it after.

well, XH proposed in a crowded restaurant. My heart said "no!" but I ended up saying "yes". I didn't deal with it later, I just ignored my gut and went on to marry him. Now I'd probably ask him to talk in private or something. I really hope someone wouldn't propose to me before we even discussed whether or not I was ready for it ever again. Yuck.
