Ouch. The basketball game one seemed especially bad; I mean, she just ran from him.

I always wondered what motivated people to do public proposals like that. Unless you've talked about it before, there's always that chance that she'll say no, which would be embarrassing.

I've always suspected guys do it to pressure the girl to say yes.

If she says no publicly, she disappoints the crowd and risks being disliked by the crowd.

I'd be mortified if a guy did that to me, even if I wanted to say yes.
