I sort of agree Dakota, but I'm also struggling with my proposal and the guy probably thought it would be cool :/ Who knows. All I do know is that my girl has been "kindly" telling me that my proposal better not be cheesy. Man, why can't they just be happy with the ol' on one knee thing anymore?

Ask around to all the girls you know. I bet you will find ZERO that would think a billboard type of proposal is "cool"
Nothing wrong with the old fashioned bended knee - Just do it somewhere she thinks is romantic. Like a monster truck rally or something. ;D
Wow. I actually don't really feel that sorry for the guy. Not only cheesy, but a bit of peer pressure on his girlfriend. Nothing wrong with bended knee, just not during the "hot and cold" contest.

I laughed so hard, I practically spit on my monitor!
poor fella, though, she did the right thing by not "pretending' and playing along..but that move out the door--- was about as quick-thinking, smart, and considerate as the Ashlee Simpson SNL "jig"...
that said. If and when the time comes for me, it better be on a DVX. and I know I am just lame enough to ask, "are you recording?"
ha!

That is the greatest statement any woman has ever made on this board.
Nah, she just wants to have a blackmail material for later times...
"Watch this! See? That was when you still loved me! Now where's that new <Chrosziel/Anamorphic/Mini35 (choose one)> you've been promising to buy for me?"
Bending the knee is kind of romantic, but it's cheesy in and by itself. I think they only do it in North America. Us barbarians from east of the GMT+1 time zone, we just say, in a post-coital numb sort of voice "hey babe, let's get hitched" - while she's sooo happy she just won't say no.
