He Proposes after Scanning His Credit Card Statement

If your boyfriend asks you to marry him while scanning his credit card statement, chances are he’s just figured out how much cheaper his life would be if you two got hitched. Definitely one of the worst ways to propose but useful as a warning signal in case you thought he was the man of your dreams.

He Proposes after a Chat with His Mother

A boyfriend that decides to propose to a girl just after chatting with his mother is probably acting on her instruction. Why you should scurry the heck out of there – if you say yes, you’re going to be stuck with a momma’s boy and a bossy mother-in-law. Not the best combination for a happily ever after.

Frequently asked questions

He Proposes on Valentines’ Day

I know you’re thinking how can popping the question on Valentines’ Day be one of the worst ways to propose. It’s only like the most romantic day in the world. WRONG! It means he’s really cheap. He just got away with some serious savings on a discounted engagement ring so think twice about your spendthrift boyfriend.

4

He Proposes over an Email

Email is convenient for sure but it’s certainly not romantic. If a guy decides to propose to a girl on an email it means one of two things – he’s really lazy or he’s really busy. Either way it’s a pretty insensitive thing to do and if he doesn’t even have the patience to type out the words in full, then you really got to think things over.

5

He Proposes over a Big Mac

I don’t know how thoughtless a guy’s got to be if he decides to propose to a girl at a fast food joint. Squeezing in a ‘will you marry me’ while squeezing a packet of ketchup has got to be one of the most unromantic gestures ever. If you say yes, resign yourself to a lifetime of living with a food-obsessed couch potato.

He Proposes While Checking out Another Woman

If he can’t keep his eyes on you during this of all moments, then maybe he shouldn’t be proposing and you certainly shouldn’t be accepting. Not only is he disrespectful but he has a roving eye. Saying no is a no brainer!

He Proposes a Week after You Met

Popping the question a few days after you met is definitely one of the worst ways to propose. I hate to be the cynic here but chances are he’s in severe debt, in need of a green card or can’t find a place to stay. Call it off and seek refuge with some girlfriends.

So there you have it, the 7 worst ways to propose. Ultimately, really secure women are not looking for grand gestures when a guy decides to propose to a girl. Rather we want a straightforward and genuine, right from the heart declaration. Then we know for sure that it’s real.

Some of these are common sense, but a few are just shallow! My 'dream engagement' doesn't even include a ring!

i disagree about the valentine's day thing because it IS romantic, what if he had bought the ring sometime before valentine's day???

WHO CARES if he got the ring cheaper because it was around Valentines day when he bought it?? That just means that it might be bigger sense they were cheaper! I think that proposing on Valentines day isn't the worst way to propose. My friend has been with his girlfriend for 4 years and he took her out on Valentines day for dinner, like he has for 4 years, and proposed to her. Whats the big deal with that? It was when she wasn't expecting it. If they go out every year for a nice dinner on Valentines day she wouldn't be expecting it. If he out of the blue took her to a really, really nice place and got all dressed up she might have been expecting it. Instead- he caught her totally off guard. Of course she said yes, and I think it was very romantic. Some of these "Worst Ways to Propose" are VERY shallow.

I would be happy if he got a ring on discount, cause a beautiful ring is a beautiful ring either way, so I'd rather save money and get a great one rather than pay full price for an okay one. Other than that great post!

Honestly, the last two are pretty obvious but the rest, I think, is a personal matter. For example, if you have known a guy for a while you'll know if he's a momma's boy or not, or if he's cheap or not. If both of you are computer nerds (or just him) then a proposal over the e-mail wouldn't be that weird. Just my opinion.

Wow, this post is funny and really useful. Thanks!
