Valentines Day: The worst places to propose

Love is in the air this V-day and you might be thinking of popping the question sometime soon. Well, make sure you avoid going down on those knees at all the places mentioned below. We have it on good authority that they are the not the best places to ask your lady love to be yours forever more.

At a Funeral
Shah Rukh Khan might have whisked Kajol away just after her father breathed his last in K3G, but let’s face it – your better half is probably not half as filmy. Funerals are places to grieve and remember loved ones who have departed for their heavenly abode. Mushy proposals are better left for another day or else she might just decide to bury you instead!

Through SMS / On her Facebook wall/ Chat window
Stop being a virtual tiger. No self-respecting woman would say yes to a proposal typed or texted to her. The least you can do is propose in person. You’re unlikely to score any points for not having the courage to face her. Instead, it may turn into the day she presses the DELETE button on you.


On TV
All you glamour-struck little boys out there - think twice before proposing on a television game show/reality show. Not only is it extremely tacky but also terribly embarrassing for the girl in question. Especially if she wants to say “no”!


In front of her family
This has been voted hands down as the most unpopular place to be proposed to at. While the girl is likely to be too uncomfortable to come up with any answer, her family will more than make up for it. If you’re not in daddy dearest’s good books, then who knows what the outcome could be.


By tying an expensive ring to a helium balloon
Picture this. It’s a sunny day in the park and you think you’ve cracked the perfect proposal. The dent the ring has caused to your savings account further backs your claims. You buy a balloon for your sweetheart and tie the ring to its string. Then you pass on the balloon. You can probably guess what happens next. A gust of wind whisks the balloon and with it your dreams of a lawfully wedded wife. Up, up and away.


At another wedding
A wedding day only belongs to the bride and groom. They’re supposed to be the centre of attraction and you have no right to steal their thunder on their special day. Stop being a freeloader and go get your own day. And your own venue!


Near Valentine’s Day Grinches
Some people are not known to be the happiest campers on and around Valentine’s Day. So steer clear of them and their supporters while proposing a lifetime commitment to your partner. If you want it to be a public place, choose a neutral venue – like a Hallmark’s outlet.


From the back of a departing police car
‘Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do when they come for you’. Well, if you’ve just been busted and are being led away by the cops, proposing to your girl wouldn’t be the smartest option. You should be thinking of how you can make sure she doesn’t know about your little tryst with, um, your other in-laws.


During a speed date
You have exhausted all your resources of finding true love and finally bite the bullet and head to a local speed dating event. There she is - date number 8, the woman of your dreams. You’re 2 minutes and 28 secs into the 3 minute date and you sense the feeling is mutual. You go for the kill. She slaps you and walks on to her next date. We don’t think you’d want this to be the first instance of PDA, right?


By hiding the ring in a piece of cake during dinner
It’s the most predictable and often considered romantic way to propose. That's until dessert arrives with the ring carefully tucked in it. As you wait for her to discover the surprise and jump with glee, she might just crack a tooth on it. Ouch!
