Youtube “the worst flashmob proposal in Sentosa”

The video starts off innocently enough: Eight young adults are recorded dancing to a K-pop track. Mid-dance, the only guy in the group bends down in front of someone we presume is his girlfriend, and she, sensing the worst, immediatel­y urges him to stand up. He proceeds with an awkward proposal, only to be rejected when she runs away. She knocks over a young child in her haste. We are not sure what to make of this.

Youtube “man vows to play piano non-stop until ex of four months takes him back”

The iconic scene in romantic comedy Say Anything featured John Cusack holding a boom box over his head to prove to his beloved that he wasn’t giving up on their relationsh­ip. It was sweet. In real life, not so much. In Bristol, a pianist proclaimed he would keep playing until his ex rekindled their love. Facebook commenters were quick to call it blackmail and a PR stunt for his musical career. He was eventually punched in the head, and the music stopped.

Youtube “man proposed to girlfriend at a fast food drive-through”

The proposal took place in private – inside the couple’s car – but a camera was in place, and the video was eventually uploaded to Youtube. The boyfriend slipped an engagement ring inside a crispy chicken deluxe burger. Her response? She cried and said he shouldn’t be asking her this way. He shared the awkward exchange, saying that friends encouraged him to warn others against such cutesy proposals. It scored 1.9 million views.
