Proposal Responces

All animals form chemistry. The bond between two animals is what makes them end up enjoying each other enough to the point where they reproduce. People have this same type of chemistry. The instincts within people are what cause chemistry to form. Sometimes the chemistry matches well enough that it causes two people to fall in love.  In contrast to animals, when this contrast matches, humans usually have religious ceremonies which bond them together. We call this ceremony a marriage. Before marriage, there is always a proposal.  Throughout life, you will find many people get proposed to; however, there are several different responses to being proposed to that don’t always end in an engagement.

Men are, in most cases, doing the proposing. The traditional proposal follows certain steps: complement the women, get down on one knee, and ask her to marry you. A proposal is almost always extremely emotional. The most common reaction would be water works; in other words, the women will start crying her eyes out. These are tears of joy. The tears will stream down her face for a couple minutes during the initial shock of the proposal. The future bride with begin jumping up and down, happy to be engaged. She will repeat the phrase “Yes, yes, oh my God yes!” over and over with an unnecessary amount of enthusiasm. Next, her face will begin to turn to a light shade of pink, which slowly fades into a dark red. Instead of grabbing for the ring, she will pull the man to his feet, looking for his arms’ embrace; nevertheless, the man will know her answer very clearly: yes.

When a women is proposed to, the women is usually happy, but this isn’t always the case. It can get bad. The chemistry can sometimes be felt by only one of the people in the relationship. This person, unfortunately, is most of the time is delusional and thinks the other person feels the chemistry as well. This is where things can get ugly. The man begins the steps of a traditional proposal: complements the women, and gets down on one knee. Despite the proposers best efforts, step three brings problems. The man doesn’t even have to say the magic words of “will you marry me.” The woman shakes her head, trying to deny the engagement without having to say it out loud. In spite of her best effort, the man continues with the proposal. The women, desperate to keep the words from exiting the man’s mouth, dumps her freshly poured mug of steaming coffee onto his head. By now, if done in public, everyone is watching, waiting to see how the rest of the proposal will play out. The man, still on one knee, stares at the women in astonishment, unable to speak. The women quietly apologizes, but the apology is barely even audible. Finally, the unengaged women storms off with without a ring. She will have an embarrassed look on her face, knowing she should have broken off the relationship before it had gotten that far.

As stated before, a proposal can be very emotional. However, sometimes it barely is. Some couples talk about the possibility of getting married before the engagement ring is even purchased. The two people in the relationship have mutually agreed ahead of time that they want to marry each other in the future. This results in a very mellow proposal. The man won't be stressed, seeing as he will already know what the answer to the proposal will be, and the women will be excited but not surprised enough to the point of tears. This type of proposal is usually very casual and comes without a single moment of tension. When the moment comes, words don’t even need to be spoken. The man kneels down on one knee; the woman responds with wide eyes. A huge grin stretches across her face and she nods her head politely. The woman holds out her hand and lets the future groom place the beautiful band on her left ring finger. He stands up, kisses her softly and then they spend the rest of the day as if nothing extraordinary had happened. This kind of couple usually doesn’t gloat about the proposal, but they will excitedly talk about it if someone asks. Although the proposal itself is quiet, the hearts of the newly engaged couple beat louder than ever. Their minds race as they think about what the future holds for them.

In the way today's society is structured, getting married to the one you love is a common occurrence. To be married, first there has to be a proposal.  During most proposals, there is emotional tension running through the veins of the proposer, which is understandable seeing as they usually don’t know how the women will respond. The fact of the matter is there are many different ways for a women to react to a proposal, and there is no way of knowing which reaction the proposer will get.
