I wouldn't say yes to someone who publicly puts me on the spot like this, it's psychological manipulation. She doesn't owe him anything, and if she felt uncomfortable she has every right to exit the situation.
Yeah there's a reason you always discuss this before hand. While an exciting idea to go in blind, the answer to a proposal (especially a public one) should never be a surprise. Then again this could easily be fake for internet points cuz nothing is real anymore.
No don’t get me wrong. Any answer would have been more mature than running away. I don’t believe she should say yes or none of that. I don’t know them. But her reaction was childish. A person has the right to ask and another has the right to refuse.
Pretty sure her answer was quite clear my dude, it seems like you and the proposer are at similar levels of understanding the moods and mindsets of other people
Something similar happened to my friend. She was dating a guy that decided to propose to her in front of her family on Christmas, double whammy. She felt like she had to say yes. They wound up breaking up shortly after but it got really ugly.
Nothing on the Internet is real. There just happened to be a person recording her big exit perfectly. Everything you see, even beyond the internet, is just this... TV show everyone is putting on. It's Truman Show, but you are the person watching and being watched at the same time.
My wife complained about not being my fiance yet for about a year before I actually proposed. It was such a lock that I forgot to even ask a question while I was on one knee. I would still never consider doing this.
I mean when I proposed I did it knowing my partner loved me and would say yes.
The dude didn’t know her aswel as he thought he did. He should have put the feelers out and tested the water in conversations before a grand gesture like this.
The error here was not the location or publicity of it, but the fact he proposed presumably without ever talking about it with her.
When and how you propose is supposed to be a surprise, not the fact that you are proposing.
How can you not know in advance if she’ll say yes? If it’s uncertain, why don’t you talk about it first? You have made longterm plans right?
Also if you aren’t sure, why involve others as it makes denying it harder, this girl picked “run away” which works but you might feel trapped in the moment with so many onlookers.
I don’t agree with public proposals. It’s a way of putting pressure on the other person to propose when they made not be ready. Also some people may just not be comfortable with it in front of random strangers.
>you are distracting those strangers from whatever thing they were doing. You impose you private matters on people around you.
Holy shit. No one is obligated to care about what you think or where your attention is in public. It's not for me but If two people want this then who cares. There not imposing anything.
>you are distracting those strangers from whatever thing they were doing. You impose you private matters on people around you.
Only if you specifically announce to everyone around that you're going to propose. If not, it doesn't make sense to call it an "imposition" on them when you propose to your gf in a public place which is special to you (most probably that's where you met her first or took her on a date first).
Looks pretty real. If you look closely at the girls face as she runs away, it’s all crunched up. Like ugly, im getting the fuck out of here sad face. A fake one would smile or just disappear like a dolphin like they’re on fucking broadway.
This comment makes no sense. The point of calling someone a bad actor is to say that they *can't* act. Same as you'd say a bad cook can't cook or a bad swimmer can't swim. Furthermore, you say "that's why it's called acting" as if you have explained the origin/meaning behind the word but you haven't actually explained anything?
I mean you wouldnt say youre bad at swimming/cooking if you couldnt swim/cook, youd just say you couldnt. Cant be bad at doing something you cant even do. Though technically speaking even failing horribly at something is still doing it but thats not a very practical way to use those terms.
Yeah I agree that realistically people use "can't" in this context as a shorthand for "not good at". It would certainly be a bit nitpicky to make them qualify that they technically physically can do the thing but just not very well. I grant that swimming was a bad choice of example and I take your point that if you say you can't swim you probably mean that you will literally drown rather than just not do it well. Your point cuts both ways though: in the same way that we say "can't" as shorthand for "is bad at" we say "can" to mean someone is capable of performing a task to a competent level. This is the vein in which I was taking issue with the previous comment, since it seems to express the view that even people who are bad at acting are still capable of delivering a competent level of acting, which is a really dumb statement.
There is nowhere to run up too... Unless she is running into the Sacre Couer. Runs past the cameraman. Dude collapses ala James Brown.
Either that or they are both mentally unstable and love framing shots for random camerapeople.
Honestly I don't have much sympathy for guys in this situation (by that I mean having a public proposal rejected).
I've read too many stories where the guy should have known it wasn't the right time or place, and basically did this to try and pressure her into saying yes.
90% of the time if this happens it's either way too early in the relationship and the proposal came out of the blue, or he should have known she'd hate being proposed to in public like this and it's therefore evidence of what a bad partner he is.
Yeah this vid could be staged but I think it's real. First the video only starts after he went down on one knee, like the cameraman didn't expect this. Second the look of discomfort on her face and the body language feels real to me.
Two of my friends got hit by surprise proposal without even knowing they are supposed to be in relationship.
They just thought they are hanging out with friends. One was childhood brother-like friend and other was just part of larger group hangout for safe travelling together to places and sightseeing.
I laughed a little as after that first flight of stairs, she’d lost her puff and the second flight was done through determination and embarrassment
I bet she was panting when she got to the top
Is this a prank? Let's be real here. She was dressed very casual and he is dressed up in a burgundy suit. Pretty sure she would have known that he was gonna propose or do something big.
If it was fake wouldn’t they be more likely to coordinate outfits? Whereas, if he legitimately read the situation bad enough for this whole proposal, wouldn’t he likely have just as poor judgement where outfits are concerned? The outfits imply that he was taking the day much more seriously than she was and doesn’t that reflect the proposal?
If it is staged her reaction is great, holding here mouth. That the dude stood up and then fell down again also speaks for good acting or real reaction. Who knows...
I don't think a real person would run up the stairs to get away. I don't think that's how fight or flight works. I suspect if she was running away in real life it would be the path of least resistance, and not conveniently past the camera
"I put someone on the spot about a massive life-change decision in front of a crowd of strangers and now I'm saaaadddddd! Damn the consequences of my own actions!"
Okay but imagine you're the woman
Literally everyone is looking at you, hoping you'll say yes even if they have no idea who you are, etc. It's fucking terrible. Like, there's literally some random guy filming you, and other people were filming too. It's horrible.
Ambushing your partner with a proposal without knowing their plans, preferences and having discussed the future together should be shunned no matter the gender.
It's probably fake, but people do propose in the dumbest places.
If the place is that open to the public, that means DON'T propose. You want her to remember how slick you were, not how awkward it was.
Bro went in with zero intel about whether or not if the girl wants to marry him... this is why you discuss these things before hand, don't use romantic comedies as a guide line, a marriage proposal should never be a shocking surprice out of the blue.
I’ve seen a few people post this. I’m curious why so many people assume this? Other than that they’re not at the same spot mentally I can’t make any assumptions about who’s the better person here and what led to this situation.
Maybe someone needs to be a better listener and put the other person in a situation they’ve been clear they did not want to be in. Maybe someone cheated and is trying to peer-pressure the other person to forgive them and make a commitment they’re not ready to make. I don’t see how it’s terrible to run away from a situation that you did not sign up for.
All the stress and guilt of sucking dick of other guys while they were serious. She ran because shes a piece of shit and let him believe they were in a serious long term relationship.
So it's a soft yes?
It’s a solid maybe for sure!
She’s running to go get the wedding planning started
She did not say no. The door is left open. She may be very shy being asked in front of 200 strangers with cameras.
Yeah for me is a deal breaker. I wont marry a woman who instead of giving a clear answer like a grown up, runs away like a child. He doge that bullet.
I'm serious. Naw, nvm.
I wouldn't say yes to someone who publicly puts me on the spot like this, it's psychological manipulation. She doesn't owe him anything, and if she felt uncomfortable she has every right to exit the situation.
Yeah there's a reason you always discuss this before hand. While an exciting idea to go in blind, the answer to a proposal (especially a public one) should never be a surprise. Then again this could easily be fake for internet points cuz nothing is real anymore.
I’m afraid its really.. really obvious
No don’t get me wrong. Any answer would have been more mature than running away. I don’t believe she should say yes or none of that. I don’t know them. But her reaction was childish. A person has the right to ask and another has the right to refuse.
I don't think that's how it works when you've been ambushed... It's that fight or flight instinct.
What clearer no is there than literally leaving the man? Btw these public lroposal are cringe as fuck
Pretty sure her answer was quite clear my dude, it seems like you and the proposer are at similar levels of understanding the moods and mindsets of other people
You have a very weak mind.
Something similar happened to my friend. She was dating a guy that decided to propose to her in front of her family on Christmas, double whammy. She felt like she had to say yes. They wound up breaking up shortly after but it got really ugly.
Performance art … punking the crowd.
staged as hell
Bullsh!t
Nothing on the Internet is real. There just happened to be a person recording her big exit perfectly. Everything you see, even beyond the internet, is just this... TV show everyone is putting on. It's Truman Show, but you are the person watching and being watched at the same time.
And not one person turns around to watch the girl running away.
Language!
Yup fake AF
That is why I will never risk doing something like that in public. I would just die of embarrassment.
My wife complained about not being my fiance yet for about a year before I actually proposed. It was such a lock that I forgot to even ask a question while I was on one knee. I would still never consider doing this.
Yeah, my wife was like “when is this going to happen, I want my ring!”
I mean if you aren't sure you probably shouldn't be asking right?
Thats why you should discuss the idea of marriage with someone before putting them in that awful situation.
I mean when I proposed I did it knowing my partner loved me and would say yes. The dude didn’t know her aswel as he thought he did. He should have put the feelers out and tested the water in conversations before a grand gesture like this.
Half the time I don't see this as romantic but see it as the dude putting her on the spot hoping to socially pressure into accepting.
The error here was not the location or publicity of it, but the fact he proposed presumably without ever talking about it with her. When and how you propose is supposed to be a surprise, not the fact that you are proposing.
Some times people talk when they are in relationships so both of them kind of know they want to marry lol
How can you not know in advance if she’ll say yes? If it’s uncertain, why don’t you talk about it first? You have made longterm plans right? Also if you aren’t sure, why involve others as it makes denying it harder, this girl picked “run away” which works but you might feel trapped in the moment with so many onlookers.
Movies have made people think it should be a surprise
Maybe don't make such an intimate moment a public spectacle?
That's why you don't do public proposals. Don't care if it's fake, this scenario definitely happened many times.
It was that Red suit!
I don’t agree with public proposals. It’s a way of putting pressure on the other person to propose when they made not be ready. Also some people may just not be comfortable with it in front of random strangers.
I am going to just put it out there: If you aren’t 100% certain of the answer regardless of where you propose, you shouldn’t be asking the question.
I'd say 99%, but your point stands.
Not to mention, you are distracting those strangers from whatever thing they were doing. You impose you private matters on people around you.
Yea it’s an all around a “look at me” kind of thing. No thanks.
That's a VERY Norwegian comment
>you are distracting those strangers from whatever thing they were doing. You impose you private matters on people around you. Holy shit. No one is obligated to care about what you think or where your attention is in public. It's not for me but If two people want this then who cares. There not imposing anything.

She's running to reserve a place in the Basilica. Anyway... Fake AF.
Looks pretty real. If you look closely at the girls face as she runs away, it’s all crunched up. Like ugly, im getting the fuck out of here sad face. A fake one would smile or just disappear like a dolphin like they’re on fucking broadway.
Even bad actors can act, that’s why it’s called acting.
It’s called porn
This comment makes no sense. The point of calling someone a bad actor is to say that they *can't* act. Same as you'd say a bad cook can't cook or a bad swimmer can't swim. Furthermore, you say "that's why it's called acting" as if you have explained the origin/meaning behind the word but you haven't actually explained anything?

This looks extremely fake.
Sooo you’re telling me there’s a chance? Yeah!! Yeeeesss!!
cringe as hell, still less embarrassing than the OP video
Honestly I don't have much sympathy for guys in this situation (by that I mean having a public proposal rejected). I've read too many stories where the guy should have known it wasn't the right time or place, and basically did this to try and pressure her into saying yes. 90% of the time if this happens it's either way too early in the relationship and the proposal came out of the blue, or he should have known she'd hate being proposed to in public like this and it's therefore evidence of what a bad partner he is.

*so it's a maybe?*
If you don't know the answer to this question before you ask it, you should never ask it.
Maybe she got so excited she thought you’d run off with her to the chapel and you missed the invisible signs. 🙃
Some tiktok shit no doubt
Crazy.. she could’ve inherited the whole chocolate factory and all the oompah loompahs.
lol
Run for the hiiiiiiiilllls..... Run for your liiiiiiiiives!!!!
Never propose in public my guy, the juice isnt worth the squeeze...
People there or not, doesn't make it any better. Talk about long term plans/goals before proposing!
Oof
Clips that start too late
It's called a reverse forest gump folks, in case you are wondering about the modern nomenclature
Bitch level : interstellar
Fake or not. It's still embarrassing. Hopefully, he learned for the next time he proposes to keep it private.
Statistically it can happen.
Plant
Feel bad for everyone.
I think it would have gone over better if he did it in private.
stunt, no way it's real
Why? You don’t think awkward things can happen on camera?
I’d say that’s a hard pass
Oh god
FAKE! Why would she run uphill? That's the slowest way to escape!
Buildings and shade. Running down the street would look ridiculous
Fake
I’m thinking this is for clicks, people.
What? No way! 
She just broke up with him.
It's nice that strangers came to comfort him.
Is this staged?
Who knows.
Super fake! Desesperate for likes
Lame performance art
the very ending is a little heartwarming though
Is this a prank? Let's be real here. She was dressed very casual and he is dressed up in a burgundy suit. Pretty sure she would have known that he was gonna propose or do something big.
If it was fake wouldn’t they be more likely to coordinate outfits? Whereas, if he legitimately read the situation bad enough for this whole proposal, wouldn’t he likely have just as poor judgement where outfits are concerned? The outfits imply that he was taking the day much more seriously than she was and doesn’t that reflect the proposal?
People in theses types of relationships need to stop. There were probably a million warning signs..
If it is staged her reaction is great, holding here mouth. That the dude stood up and then fell down again also speaks for good acting or real reaction. Who knows...
STAAAAAAAAGED!
Fake
This could be all for show?
Probably fake
I don't think a real person would run up the stairs to get away. I don't think that's how fight or flight works. I suspect if she was running away in real life it would be the path of least resistance, and not conveniently past the camera
He still can find a hard cock!
People do stupid shit to hype. And then they get this.
"I put someone on the spot about a massive life-change decision in front of a crowd of strangers and now I'm saaaadddddd! Damn the consequences of my own actions!"
Plot twist: -Baby, I MUST go to the restroom, NOW!
When your gay friend trying to get out of friend zone.
Social experiment I’m thinking.
Fight or Flight Syndrome...and she didn't choose (verbal or physical) violence!
Better there then at the alter
Click bait
He wanted the spotlights, he got them…
Staged
Okay but imagine you're the woman Literally everyone is looking at you, hoping you'll say yes even if they have no idea who you are, etc. It's fucking terrible. Like, there's literally some random guy filming you, and other people were filming too. It's horrible.
Revoke her plane ticket and leave.
Then people ask "why men dont Want To engage anymore"
I hope so, maybe more people will realise that this is a bad idea
Ambushing your partner with a proposal without knowing their plans, preferences and having discussed the future together should be shunned no matter the gender.
Definitely
I don't get why you want to make a personal thing so public anyway.
Kind of a weird place to propose
Hipster got denied
Phony
Wow on the first date
Savage
Meet you at the wedding
Yo she didn't say no she Usain bolted the fuck outta there
So, not even talk about f√cking?
Lucky he had someone to film his ~~shitty viral stunt~~ total legit public proposal.
It's probably fake, but people do propose in the dumbest places. If the place is that open to the public, that means DON'T propose. You want her to remember how slick you were, not how awkward it was.
Bro….
That is a negative ghost rider….
Bro went in with zero intel about whether or not if the girl wants to marry him... this is why you discuss these things before hand, don't use romantic comedies as a guide line, a marriage proposal should never be a shocking surprice out of the blue.
Bet, now you work on yourself more than you ever thought you could do, being the best version of yourself for someone who deserves it.
Fake
Legend has it she is still running.
This is why you NEVER propose in public; it isn't fair for either party...
She got up those stairs like she was training to win the title!!
Perfection.
A future Incel Second Amendment and NRA fanatic.
She looked like she was having a panic attack , probably he ignored her request of not doing a public proposal
Just jump the railing at that point
Proposing should be like asking a question in court. Something you never do unless you already know the answer.
Ouch, that hurt. The way she ran away was a hard no. She disappeared quicker than Usain Bolt in the 100m.
What a bitch. She didn't need to publicly humiliate him like that.
Staged
Fake
Thats not real ..
Probably fake
And then you realize it's a prank for clout
Lol
Women let you know they are ready to be asked.
Might be fake. Might be real. But those women comforting him are real and that was super sweet.
God works in funny ways probably just saved that man years of heart ache
Pure tragedy and comedy at the same time.
Fake as fuck
She already married.She can't get married again
Hope that couple is local to the area . Otherwise that is going to a LONG flight home
She broke Usain Bolts' record.
Ran out on bro, just like Dad :(
Never asked ess you already know theanswer. ..
I guess his tears were the unofficial start to the fountain show.
"if you can run up those stairs really fast Ill marry you." - him probably
Don't do this in public...
Let this be a lesson for all you ladies out there. Don’t skip leg day. And stair drills are a great way to add cardio.
Dodged a bullet there
I’ve seen a few people post this. I’m curious why so many people assume this? Other than that they’re not at the same spot mentally I can’t make any assumptions about who’s the better person here and what led to this situation.

Nothing wrong with the girl she has the right to refuse. Just saying that the man dodged a person that doesnt love him as much as he loves her.
Fair enough
She sure did
All the stress and guilt of sucking dick of other guys while they were serious. She ran because shes a piece of shit and let him believe they were in a serious long term relationship. 
Where is his best friend to yell "LOSER"
That's why she doesn't like him. He's weak.
Wearing the jokers suit? I'd run too
Staged
Maybe she had to pee first
Lol
Always propose to a woman with mobility issues fellas
This shit is all fake and done just for views.
I've been there, they would've already walked up a billion stairs, and now she's running up even more...she wanted to get the fuck outta there XD
So, it’s a no?
Fake to get posted! She knew where and how many steps to run-up to exit. Think about it...
She noped the hell out of there
Fake
