Do You Think Marriage Proposals Should Be Public Or Private? by Esthersblog(f): 4:01am On Oct 05, 2015
Do you think a man should first discuss with the lady he intends to marry, if he should propose in public or private when the time comes. Because, I think most guys make the marriage proposal decisions and arrangements themselves, about when and how to propose to their girlfriends when they are sure of spending the rest of their lives together.

Sometimes, a lady might act and sound like, yea, I would love to marry you, just to keep the relationship going, while waiting for the right man to come take her away, in order to avoid being tagged as a single lady. When you propose to such lady in public, what do you think might be her reaction?

And also, supposing the girlfriend being proposed to feels ambushed and can’t express her true feelings because she doesn’t want the guy to feel embarrassed? What should she do in such a situation?

The truth is, when a man proposes to a lady in public and she ends up saying NO. I trust my Naija brothers, they will curse and yab the hell out of her, and some guys will even start quoting Isaiah 4:1 – “In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”. That’s the Bible verse they know by heart. Lol.

Only propose to a lady in public if she is stubborn and has coconut head!
A humble and down to earth lady can be proposed to, right there on the bedbed angry

I see public marriage proposal as a proof of true love, but I can't do it, cos I dnt hav the courage for that. I prefer the private proposal

In private because I don't know how to show excitement & act dramatic, so others with a pre-conceived notion of how a woman that just been proposed to should act, might misread the aloofness as disinterest or something else.

Yeah, they might think stuff. You know how nosy people can be. Always looking for hidden meaning. They might conclude it's something to do with the ring (rock too small) or whatever cheesy
Re: Do You Think Marriage Proposals Should Be Public Or Private? by Esthersblog(f): 9:09am On Oct 05, 2015
Lol. The witnesses always expect the girl to act all surprised with tears rolling down, if possible.

It's not my thing and it's like an unnecessary drawing of people's attention.

To me when a man have already shown an immeasurable affection and the lady knows that two of them have the same future purpose and they can easily get along with each other, proposing to her either in public or private has nothing to do with their love life. Not proposing to her doesn't mean man is not romantic or caring or even proud of her enough. I think both partners should not get carried away with too much of fantasies and show off lifestyle that they adopt from celebrities cos not all guys pay too much attention to all those kind of fantasy. Facing reality of life ahead of them should always be their target. Real lovers works on their future not their present.
