"This time you will have to lose weight by the summer!" - Talking about inappropriate humor and other ways to screw up an engagement.

Let's be honest: if you're going to propose, you already know that she wants to marry you. And even if you specifically screw up your engagement, it is unlikely to cross out past years together.

However, I want to forget some wedding proposals like a bad dream. They happen when a man decides to do one of these things.

Start a drama with an unexpected ending

Men sometimes like to play in contrast: I will pretend that this is something bad, and then she will be more delighted. The game starts off like this: "Honey, we need to talk seriously." Then you tell the worried soul mate that this cannot continue, and this relationship is at an impasse.

And when she is already sure that you want to leave, you take out the ring and invite her to become your wife. This also includes staging a heart attack, accident or own death with a happy ending - such cases also happen.

Why is that bad: extra stress, and your girlfriend is worthy of only positive emotions on this day. There are two options here: either the joy of an important step will simply be poisoned by a negative beginning, or it will kill you immediately upon resurrection from the dead.

Don't bother with timing

You are lying comfortably on the couch. Chips, serials, a cat - a solid idyll. To pause Sherlock and propose now that you feel good together is so great.

On the one hand, it is. On the other hand, there is a high probability that your future wife (in pajamas and with a bun on her head) will not be very impressed. More often than not, it is important for girls to be photogenic at the time of their engagement. For the same reason, it is better not to make a marriage proposal at work, at the university and at the gym.

Why is that bad: there are too many identical days in the year, and it is worth adding colors to everyday life for this reason. And your beloved may decide that you have not come up with a more original way, because she is too lazy to try.

It's corny and tasteless to be creative

Videos where strangers say "marry him", passers-by with posters and spontaneous flash mobs were original in 2009. But now all this is far in the past - together with wired Internet, ICQ and gasoline for 20 rubles.

Leave these methods where they belong - in nostalgic YouTube videos. Also include serenades, social media statuses, pavement writing, scraps on note paper, posters, and any other surface.

Why is that bad: at least because millions of men have done it before you, and not all of them did it well. Maybe you have good taste and you can come up with something cool, but cardboard boxes with markers and inept dances will definitely not impress anyone.

Involve food

Some guys decide that a ring in a champagne glass is trite, but in a dish with food it is original and fun. Even if your beloved notices the jewelry, she will have to reach for it with her hands, wipe the sauce off it and pretend that she does not bother putting a ring that smells of food on her finger.

Let's reveal a secret: a rare girl will not prefer clean hands and a classic velvet box with a ring.

Why is that bad: it is not very hygienic, besides, your bride can bite her tongue, break off a piece of a tooth, or, even more awkward, simply swallow the ring.

Combine engagement with entertainment

Even if you constantly pin each other up and love to laugh, a marriage proposal is a touching and subtle moment. It is unlikely that your beloved will appreciate an offer made in a bar among friends, shouts and strong shots. Amusement parks, stadiums and concerts are also not the best choice.

In the noisy and bustling atmosphere of these places, it is difficult not only to retire even for a second, but sometimes just to hear each other. Not to mention the risk of losing the ring.

Why is that bad: you will not be able to immerse yourself in the moment and experience all facets of the emotions of a barely engaged couple.

Give yourself away in the heat of a quarrel

This is an option that no one plans, but it happens sometimes. An engagement is always exciting. When you have already bought a ring and are waiting for the right moment, tension makes you take all the actions of your other half too close to your heart.

What happens: you are here preparing for "together forever", and it is difficult for her to clean up the plate after you without snorting ?! You see her as your wife, and she nags you for ten minutes because of nonsense? And so now it will be all my life? At some point, you can wind yourself up to such an extent that you pull out the ring and bark: "That's why I didn't take you from work - I chose the size!"

Why is that bad: no explanation is needed here. Just do everything so that it doesn't come to this.
