Crazy thing call love

Last week, Orlando Lawrence made the bold move of proposing to his girlfriend Stacy-Lee Cole smack in the middle of Cross Roads, on his knees and all. I don’t think I would want to be proposed to like that, but hey, to each his own. As far as Lawrence was concerned, that was the greatest thing he could do to prove his love to his woman. He must have been pretty confident about the relationship and knew she would have said yes.

Lawrence had a better outcome than a guy I saw on youtube recently who proposed to his girlfriend during half time at an NBA game. He got down on his knees and all with the ring but the poor fellow was turned down. Maybe she wasn’t one for the big spectacle or she just didn’t like him that way. Poor dude looked so distraught standing there alone as his lady love walked out of the stadium. Some of the players couldn’t hide their snickering. Poor love-struck fool.
But that’s the thing with love. They say it’s blind and it makes you do what others would think are very silly things. And in the end, is it all  worth it?

I don’t know you tell me. What’s the most outrageous, silly, funny, romantic thing you ever did to show your special someone how you feel?

    I think it was really sweat, I almost cried and it wasn’t me, its good to know that there are still men out there who are not afraid to show their emotions. I wish them all the best !

    I wonder if I would ever do that though. I mean, I don’t want to pass judgment on the brother, because that is a very noble thing for anyone to do for another if they are sure the person will appreciate the sentiments. That takes some real big “balls” to do that in the middle of “everywhere”. I think I have to check my brief size again.

    But dude, what if she says no? Laawd Gaawd! I can’t imagine what amount of back-up plans could save you from Oliver Samuels re-enacting this drama on stage for years to come.

    But I would imagine that if she does say yes, then those big “balls” will come in handy for the all-you-can-take treat that follows. Well dude, enjoy it, because I certainly believe you have earned it.

    I would not ask my girlfriend to marry me in the middle of the street (safety). However I would ask her on a bus, in church, supermarket, restaurant. I think the guy was great in asking his girlfriend to marry her in the middle of one of the busiest intersection in the world. I think he will make a fine husband.

    YOUNG MAN I SINCERELY CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR YOUNG LADY TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO SHOW SOME OF THOSE COWARD, WHAT REAL UNSELFISH AND COMPLETE LOVE FOR EACH OTHER IS!… UNLIKE SOME WOMAN WHO JUST WANT THE RING FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY… YOUR WOMAN SHOWED THE WORLD THAT SHE IS CUT FROM A DIFFERENT PIECE OF CLOTH. SHE HAVE THE COURAGE AND INTEGRITY AND HONESTY. TO SAY TO THE WORLD, I LOVE THIS MAN AND I AM WILLING TO PUT MY FACE OUT THERE TO TELL THE WORLD THAT HE AND HE ALONE WILL BE MINE FOREVER UNTIL DEATH DO US PART. AND THE SAME GOES FOR THIS YOUNG MAN!… IT TAKE NOT BIG BUT “GREAT BALLS TO PULL OFF THIS BY THE BOTH OF YOU…

    MAY WHAT EVER YOU 2 DO WILL BE ALWAYS WITH EACH OTHER KNOWING,WHO, WHAT , WHERE , WHEN . AND HOW…. MEANING TO KEEP THIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE END. THERE CANT BE NO SECRETS…. NO MATTER WHAT A GIRLFRIEND/ BOYFRIEND SAID TO ANY OF YOU…. KEEP EACH OTHER INFORMED OF ANY THING THAT IS HAPPENING. THAT WAY THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LOVE AND THE JOY TO BE TOGETHER…

    MAY GOD CONTINUALLY TO BLESS YOU BOTH AND GUIDE YOUR PATHS TO THE END…….
