Today, my girlfriend started bitching me out about how public proposals are unfair and how they pressure a girl to say yes. All I did was get on my knee to tie a loose shoelace. FML

Sounds like someone really doesn't want to marry you. If you're in this seriously, you might consider finding someone else who is serious, too.

There's a difference between saying, "I love you, sweetheart!" in public and the spectacle that public proposals cause. Suddenly the proposee is surrounded by strangers who are hanging on their every word and ready to judge or comment if they say no. That's a lot of pressure and not cool if public proposals/marriage in general isn't something that hasn't been discussed. It's not that hard to feel out if your loved one is someone who's against or for public proposals BEFORE you get on one knee.

I don't know why people have you a thumbs down Lol I laughed when I read the comment. LOL

could be worse. she could have said yes and made a scene about that. then that would be worse and more awkward

looks like that shoelace is the only knot you'll be tying. Talk to her about your relationship goals. Make sure you guys are on the same page.

She didn't say she doesn't want to get married, for all the people saying she's not serious about him, just she wouldn't want the proposal in public. Saying that, jumping to conclusions like she did is also pretty ridiculous.

op said she "bitched at him" when he went to tie his shoes, doesnt sound like she was being nice and she jumped to conclusions... so i dont agree completly

I didn't say she was being nice? I also said she was being ridiculous? Just that not everyone likes public proposals and that doesn't make them not serious about their relationship.

Switch to slip-ons or Velcro strap shoes.

Guess you have your answer in advance.

Lololol I'm sorry bro xD at least now you know how she doesn't want to be proposed to

This is the official girlfriend test, when you start getting serious about her drop down to one knee and look for something in your pocket... Probably your phone. If she gets excited she might be a keeper... If not she does what OP's girlfriend did

If you try that shit when you "start" getting serious and she gets excited? Run the other way. Maybe after you've been serious for a while and had multiple discussions on whether you want to get married.

She doesn't quite seem like someone who will ever give you a reliable answer huh. Good luck with that relationship
