I would personally prefer something private and small.
To be asked in public would make me feel very put on the spot.

[satanslash]

what like youd absolutely have to say yes because it was public?

[Oh lord, hold on while she rolls out her romantic notions here.]

Well... I would want it somewhere a little romantic. Not just out on the street but it wouldn't have to be in public or private specifically.

Maybe something like a nice day out with a proposal at sunset. Oh, or a homecooked meal and the engagement ring slipped into a wine glass, I've seen that in movies before!

However I think as long as there was thought and feelings put into it, I would be happy!

[satanslash]

dinner i could do
dunno if they actually like wine? never asked we're not big drinkers anyway but it could probably be put in something else right?

but like they know i cook well would that be too expected???

shit the more i think about this the more i second guess everything

If you know someone well enough to propose to them, shouldn't you know what they'd prefer?

[satanslash]

do perfect proposals come up naturally in conversation for you?

[ Oof, now here's a bittersweet sounding question. ]

It's better when it's just the two of you. No one else needs to be around.

[satanslash]

theres someone who is like family to me i might want around for it but they dont have to be

I've never thought of someone proposing to me before. Or at all. I don't think it matters. All that matters is you share your heartfelt feelings honestly and the other person understands. It can be anywhere!

I guess I sort of proposed in the rain, while being held, hostage.

But that just adds flavor to how important getting your feelings across is at the right time. Who cares if someone is about to slit my throat, this needs to be settle first.

[satanslash]

thats

not how i would like it to go down but uh you do you i guess?

im really hoping it is the right time

I'd say it depends on the person.

Are they the type to like big, public events like that?

[satanslash]

dont know
never really came up

i know she likes spending time with me though

I wouldn't want anything big and public
it's tacky and puts pressure on people
but I think you should just ask the person what they like.

[satanslash]

im getting that a lot so its probably a good idea

i still want it to be a surprise tho

[text @hot.damn]

[circumitus]

only assholes who want to pressure someone into saying yes would propose in public so take that shit in private

otherwise make it as big or small as you feel like
personally would prefer something small but not sure
never considered the possibility of anyone proposing so its a dumb hypothetical to think about anyway

[satanslash]

i can be kind of a jerk sometimes but not to her i wouldnt want to do that

and hey you never know i didnt think id be here ever either

[instaqueue]

It has to be something grand and in public! You want to announce your love to the whole world, don't you? A large banner or a big announcement in a public square would be perfect!

[ I'm sorry, he's dumb. ]

[satanslash]

youre the only person who seems to think so

[chichichi]

What a set of questions, Anonymous. You don't have anyone you would've thought to ask about the matter privately?

[ Setsura does, in fact, have tact. She'll switch it to private after this if he doesn't first, but really, Rin is so obvious to her. She has to tease him a little before she's properly helpful. ]

[satanslash]

[Bless you for your tact.

But also nervous sweating intensifies.]

i wanted more than one opinion

[torsion]

Just us. Private.
Nothing forced or fake or weird that isn't like the other person or us.

Not too hard.

And I'm pretty sure it's obvious why you're asking.

[satanslash]

hey it could be for anything!

like uh




a stage play?

yeah

all is saying NO to public but...

i propose marriage in public and is fine...

but also i do not plan it for public... possible is different...

[satanslash]

i feel like its different if you didnt plan ahead to make it that way
if it just happens they cant really get mad at you for making a huge display

text; un: piercedyourheart92

[piercedyourheart]

if i had to choose?
small and private as possible
its already a big decision for both of you. asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you at place like a baseball game seems so....idk
insincere

[satanslash]

yeah i get that
kinda seems more like for your own ego, doesn't it?

That's a tough question to ask.
I've been proposed to in the way I always wanted: in front of a grass field full of flowers, with a gentle breeze flowing like waves, and watching the sunset together with just my fiance and our pet bird together.
My fiance asked for my hand in marriage while kneeling down with a bouquet of wildflowers tied in a ribbon.
It was sweet, but I wasn't happy.
Not until the attention was away from me.

And to this day, I consider it to be a precious memory.
Everything except the proposal.
I could have lived without it.

[satanslash]

wait if it was how you wanted why werent you happy

text; un: ilikebigboats

[boobytraps]

I'd prefer they'd not propose to me at all.

[satanslash]

yeah? why's that?

un: CFHS

[nonehorse]

I see that everyone's against public proposals, and that's probably for very good reason! But I personally proposed in

somewhat public, I think? It was more of a sudden realisation and confrontation via online discussion, and then I ran to see him and practically shouted the proposal proper, haha. It's ridiculous, but...I feel like it suits us, so I'm alright with laughing at myself.

However, if I could actually plan it and do it again, I'd definitely try to make it something romantic, something personal so that they could definitely feel how much I care for them and love them. It's an important memory, and one you'll be telling stories about, so either do it well, or make it something you can laugh at! :)

Re: un: CFHS

[satanslash]

hey as long as you're not ashamed of it sounds like it was a good time for everyone
and if you're happy thats the important thing right?

i have a feeling however it winds up going we'll wind up laughing about it anyway
im not exactly smart but she likes that about me

[clodpole]

I cannot speak to where or how many people would be appropriate, but should you be successful in your proposal, I have overseen a number of weddings myself! Do let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

[satanslash]

oh yeah that would be important wouldnt it?

yeah sure i'll def let you know!

[princeadjacent]

You see, this is one of those things that depends entirely on the person being proposed to. If it were me, I'd want the biggest, most spectacular proposal ever to be proposed. Something people will really remember, you know?

But when I proposed to Rapunzel, I went with something private this time. Just me, the love of my life, and



Well there was another guy there serenading us, but I'm not sure if I'd consider him an attendee or a set-piece.

[ He's getting off-topic. ]

Anyway! The point is just go with what you know will make them happy. [ He's assuming that's the reason for the question. ]

[satanslash]

guess it depends on if you were close to the guy or not

anyway yeah im getting that from
just about everyone

i do know being with me makes her happy so...
