A dramatic scene recently unfolded inside a popular shopping mall after a young lady unexpectedly rejected her boyfriend’s public marriage proposal, turning what was meant to be a romantic moment into a viral sensation.
According to eyewitnesses, the young man had gone all out to make the proposal memorable. He arrived at the mall with friends and onlookers watching, holding a beautiful engagement ring and flowers as he went down on one knee to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage.
The atmosphere was initially filled with excitement, with people cheering and recording the moment on their phones, expecting to witness another fairytale engagement scene. However, things took an unexpected turn when the lady appeared visibly uncomfortable and hesitant.
Despite the man’s nervous smile and pleas, she firmly declined his proposal. Onlookers gasped as she shook her head repeatedly before stepping back in anger. The man remained kneeling for several seconds, seemingly in disbelief, before attempting to stand up and reason with her.
Apparently, the man had planned the proposal as a surprise, hoping to create a lifelong memory. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to her, the lady didn’t share the same enthusiasm and decided to reject him in front of everyone present.
Man chases after the lady
Feeling heartbroken and humiliated, the man quickly got up and ran after her, trying desperately to convince her to change her mind. However, what happened next shocked everyone. The lady turned around in anger and delivered a resounding slap to his face before storming off, leaving the man in tears and embarrassment.
The unexpected twist drew mixed reactions from passersby, who gathered around the man to comfort him. Some sympathized with his heartbreak, offering him words of encouragement, while others criticized him for proposing publicly without being sure of her response.
Public Reactions
The video of the dramatic moment has since gone viral on social media platforms, sparking massive debates among netizens. While some users blamed the lady for humiliating the man in public, others argued that public proposals often put unnecessary pressure on partners and should be avoided altogether.
Many online commentators questioned whether the couple had ever discussed marriage beforehand, wondering why the man would take such a big risk without confirming her readiness for commitment.
Some users on social media shared their thoughts:
One @GABBY🦅 reacted: “Can we normalize to stop proposing in public? It’s not every relationship that’s ready for that kind of pressure.”
@vickybillion remarked: “I like the way these girls are dealing with these simps. Know your woman before pulling stunts like this.”
@Charlotte said: “She go later go church find husband for 2030 ajeh. People no dey value good man again.”
@Victorynwanyinnaya wondered: “I don’t understand, you guys don’t have conversations first before proposing?”
Others, however, defended the lady, saying she had the right to reject the proposal if she didn’t feel ready or certain about the relationship, even if the setting was public.
Regardless of the divided opinions, the incident has reignited the age-old debate about whether public proposals are romantic gestures or emotional traps, with many advising men to ensure mutual understanding before going down on one knee.
