People choose different types of proposals. Some prefer it to be an intimate, secretive affair and others like a big gesture. I think it’s important to take the personality of the person you’re asking into account. Remember it’s not all about you.

And a top tip: if you’re aiming for a public proposal, be very sure she’ll say yes. Life is not a Hollywood rom-com guys.

I’ve rounded up some of the most excruciating failed proposals I could find. The winner is below, but first, why don’t you have a look at these:

Taking your girlfriend to a basketball game and popping the question on court? Maybe you should think twice…

Marriage proposal fail 1

This proposal didn’t fail, but I’m pretty sure the wedding might…

Marriage proposal fail 2

Rock on crazy diamond! Or not…

Marriage proposal fail 3

And the most uncomfortable fail ever. My toes are curling with embarrassment.
