Ow, that stings
What was supposed to be a magical moment at Sunday night’s Orlando Magic basketball game instead turned into an embarrassing memory for one man, according to Local 6 News.
The unidentified man asked his girlfriend to marry him in front of thousands of fans at the Magic’s 97-94 victory over the New Orleans Hornets at the TD Waterhouse Centre.
The man, who was standing on the court, dropped to a knee and asked the woman to marry him.
Instead of answering, the woman turned and ran off the court with her face in her hands.
Damn.
Update: It was a hoax:
Local 6 News reported Tuesday that the proposal was a hoax — an Orlando Magic marketing ploy to spice up the NBA experience, according to the report.

Don’t feel bad for him, feel bad for her.
Honestly if he was not positive he should not have embarrased her.
Parkinglot at a Sushi place was where I dropped to one knee to propose, LOL

wow most women would just say yes, fake the hug and the kiss and then tell them they have changed their minds the next day.
I would say i would rather have that happen than be embarrassed like that.

Ouch. I’m not sure what compels people to make their proposal a public affair in the first place. But if you do pop the question, you better be 100% sure what the answer is going to be.

I’ve always wondered how I would propose if I did so. As it is, I’ll likely never have the opportunity. My wife “proposed” to me, but when women do it, it isn’t a proposal at all: it’s an ultimatum.

My friend proposed to his wife at Sundown in the City. They let him get on stage and he called her up to the stage with him.
She said yes, and the audience confused him with Papa Roach for some reason…
