In public or in a form of privacy?

Post Reply New Topic

First of all... the topic is to gauge opinion and guidance, just wanted to say that beforehand.
Personally though if and when I do ask someone out, it tends to be in privacy as in just me and the recipient.
Cowardice? Perhaps that could be why I dislike that in front of the public but only due to if I were to be rejected, I feel as though it would be a laughing matter and to mock... as some people never learn.

Asking out - private.
Marriage proposal - private or public. Depends how sure you are that they will accept.

Also I was looking for a way to confront this issue I have... not with being rejected but with the feeling of when it happens that I will be laughed at.

I should also add that I count asking out in a public place where you two are in a corner does count as private...

It's nice to do those things where there isn't an audience. Be considerate of the fact that they might want to keep their relationship business quiet or that if they want to reject you, don't want to look like an ice queen in front of people.

Pulling someone aside in public where other people can't hear seems like the best option.

Asking someone out? Do it in private. Makes the moment much more meaningful and the person you asked won't come off as a jerk to a series of people he/she didn't even wanting to know in the first place.
