最不给力的求婚方式 你中招了吗?
昨天,英国王室宣布哈里王子与女友梅根正式订婚。之后,二人首度接受电视采访,透露了哈里求婚的甜蜜细节。让一众单身人士羡慕不已。或者,你也正准备向另一半pop the question?今天的文章可能会帮到你哦。 多数人在向伴侣求婚时担心的往往不是对方是否会说“我愿意”,而是自己求婚的方式是否正确。理想情况下,求婚或被求婚都只有一次。谁都希望那一刻完美无缺。然而,一个人心中理想的求婚方式对另一个人来说可能是场噩梦。举个例子,当你打开装巨无霸的盒子,发现汉堡上插着闪闪发光的戒指,不是惊喜就是惊吓。但我很遗憾地告诉你,有一些求婚方式千万不能尝试,因为那些方式无论对谁来说都太可怕了。好了,闲话不多说,各位请看好了:以下是最糟糕求婚方式的权威排名。 9. With a flash mob Flash mobs were cool, like, five years ago. And only then the really well done ones. And even then, not for proposals. The chances are it’ll all be a bit amateur and thus totally cringe. Plus, your significant other is going to be left with a huge crowd watching her reaction. Talk about pressure. 8. By tricking her You may think it’s hilarious to try and trick your partner into thinking one of you is being arrested or you’re having a heart attack, but the chances are it’s just going to scare the s*** out of them. Avoid. 7. Something lame Whatever you do, don’t just turn to her one day and say: “So when are we getting married then?” Do it properly. Everyone wants to be asked properly. It doesn’t need to be a huge affair but it needs to feel special, no matter how low-key that is.
Remember the Chinese diver who proposed to his girlfriend when she was being presented with her silver medal at the 2016 Olympics? DO NOT BE THAT GUY! Don’t try and overshadow her achievement. Don’t make it all about you. Let her have her moment, jeez. Also don’t do it at any occasion that could steal someone else’s thunder. A wedding, for example, would be one to avoid. 5. With a very adult discussion Dear Lord, please do not do it in the context of discussing mortgages and joint bank accounts and whose family you’ll spend Christmas with. Getting engaged isn’t something to be done lightly, but you want there to be at least some romance and magic. 4. On her birthday or Christmas Do not do this. Just do not. There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t propose on an already special day. If you propose on her birthday and then everything goes tits up between you two, you’ve just ruined her birthday for the rest of her life. Plus, doing it another day gives you two separate celebrations on two separate days. If you propose on Christmas Day, no one else in the world will care as much because they’re all busy celebrating Christmas, duh. And again, you could tarnish both your Christmases forevermore if it doesn’t work out. I’m just being realistic. It could happen.
Whether it’s in Times Square or in a sports stadium, do not propose on the big screen. It’s cliché and also puts a lot of pressure on your partner to react in the right way. Awkwardness of proposals is directly correlated with publicness, so it’s best to keep things more intimate. 2. In a restaurant Oh, so basic. Is there any worse place to propose than in a restaurant? Even if it’s her favourite/where you had your first date/the best restaurant in the world, don’t do it. Do it after, somewhere else, fine. But dear God, not in the restaurant. Definitely don’t hide the ring in a glass of champagne or a piece of cake (eww that’s just going to get messy), and please for the love of all that is romantic, don’t draw the attention of everyone in the restaurant by getting down on one knee at the side of the table. I know, the prospect for a free pudding is very appealing. But it’s not worth it. Wait till you're alone somewhere private afterwards. 1. Spelling out ‘marry me’ in rose petals Could there be anything more cliché? Truth be told, there is only one good way to propose, and that’s with something personal - whether it be where you first or at a place special to the two of you. One would like to hope that if you’re proposing to someone, you’ll know whether they’d prefer an elaborate or simple proposal. But whatever you do, steer clear of the clichés. |
