Bebe 17,094 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 And there are a lot that have gone right! :) If a person has been with another person for a long time, and they know that they both are the type of individuals that would love a public proposal, then they are making a good decision for the both of them. After all, shouldn't a person proposing marriage know the other person enough to know if the situation is something that they would look back on with fond memories? You may have a certain way you would like a marriage proposal, due to your personality type, but there are other personality types that would love something like this! It's a bad idea for you, obviously, but it is not for some people! I get it, I really do, I just think that in general it is a bad idea. If it works out then great, but I still think it is extremely rude and a little manipulative to put someone in an environment where they basically have to say yes. There is a fine line with public proposals, I think that it basically becomes emotional manipulation and I'm not a great fan of that. If you are so confident that they are going to say yes, then great. I still think you should be respectful and ask them privately or with a couple of close friends/family members. Nobody should feel obligated to say yes, that's how people feel when they are proposed to in such a public environment. You can be confident that they will like it and say yes but you never really know. It is a big decision and a big decision to make in front of a thousand people and your idol.

Eh, it's not anymore emotional manipulative than say a diamond ring worth 10,000 dollars or an elaborate private proposal. Do you not think that a person, who is deeply in love with another person, (but isn't ready to say yes) wouldn't feel pressured in even in those situations? That person would know that they are going to hurt a person that they deeply love and respect, so they would still feel pressured and obligated to say yes. Now...we don't know this exact relationship situation from tonight, but if any of the many friends I have seen get engaged, wanted to do something on this scale, it would make perfect sense! Those couple had been dating for a while and had discussed marriage extensively, before they ever made it to the "formal" proposal. The person asking knew the other person was going to say yes. Most smart, stable individuals get to that point before they pop the big question in a formal way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poker 3,713 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Someone might have told Gaga not to do this because of the future implications it could cause Kindness rules all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespertine 3 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Someone might have told Gaga not to do this because of the future implications it could cause aka everyone proposes at her shows and have brutal fights to the death when they don't get picked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahoTheMnstr 141 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 it's lovely that he wanted to do this, hopefully he knows his partner well enough that he would like the gesture, (i mean i would hate it, i hate public proposals, or public anything ) anyways i'm guessing someone told Gaga not to do it, that would be a mess in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I think it would set a bad precedent, just because people would be wanting to do it at every show, some just to get attention. Honestly this. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,609 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well dud he really not proposibg cos Gaga did not bring them to the stage? He need to propose anyway tbh, why did he make the personal moment seems like a burden for Gags? He could always hire mariachi group to sing their favourite Gaga song ir Americano and propose, much more special and personal tbh.

lucia4 0 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 That's silly. People propose all thee time in public situations. I've seen dozens of them at college...on stage after a theatre production, at ball games, at a music event or campus concert, at a swim meet, at a church outing, in front of family and friends, etc. Usually these couples have been dating for years and have been discussing marriage for a long time. That's how the person proposing knows that a public proposal will be a positive experience. Something like this, that is special to both people in the relationship, will be something they will never forget. I'd rather have a meaningful, romantic proposal than something public that screams "oh look we're so in love haha aren't you jealous!", like those Youtube proposals. Cam & Mitch from Modern Family had some really nice ideas for proposing. <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
