One of the most nerve-wracking steps before marriage is the proposal. Thanks to social media and movies, it can feel impossible to pick the ideal location. However, there’s one excellent place to start – should you propose to your significant other in a public spot? There are serious pros and cons to this technique.
Pros of Proposing in Public
For many, there are benefits to a public proposal. They are more oriented towards extroverts and tend to make for ideal, memorable videos. Many excellent factors come with a proposal in the public eye.
Some of the best items about a public proposal include the following:
- Involvement of others: A public proposal means you may involve other people in the process. You can have friends, family, and even the support of random people, depending on where you are.
- Theatrical: A partner who appreciates grand displays of affection will adore a public proposal. They tend to be far more theatrical than something done in private.
- Meaningful: Public proposals can seem very meaningful to the correct partner. They are especially ideal for those who love public displays of affection.
For the right person, a public proposal is a meaningful experience that will be recounted for years.
Cons of Proposing in Public
Of course, there are also many cons to consider before proposing to your loved one. While it’s an excellent choice for some, it might be a terrible decision for other more introverted significant others.
Here are some of the drawbacks to public proposals:
- Tough to control: Public environments are unpredictable. Thus, the proposal might not go as you planned and could be a disaster.
- Potential for embarrassment: If your partner says no, there is a huge shot at embarrassment in front of a large group of people. If you’re unsure what they’ll say, don’t ask in public.
- Awkward: A public proposal might be a nightmare for an introvert. You should know your partner well enough to determine their dream proposal before picking a public location.
For some relationships, proposing in public might be a terrible choice.
