How To Say No To A Marriage Proposal?
J. Parks
Women can benefit from this topic the most since they get proposed to more than men do. Men usually do the offering and it’s up to the women to decide on the choice. Not all women are prepared to get married but don’t know how to reject a man’s marriage proposal without being mean.
JParksJr provided tactics women can use to reject proposals without being rude. Rejecting a marriage proposal rudely will most likely hurt a man’s feelings. Especially if a man proposes publicly instead of privately so it’s best to reject them politely.
Women, it’s not easy to reject a proposal and be polite about it but a few of JParksJr’s tactics will make it seem simple. Using the tactics below will even save your relationship from ending if you perform them correctly. Most men are ready to break up with their partner after getting their proposal rejected, but two of the tactics listed below avoid women from embarrassing men. Therefore, men will reconsider leaving a woman after getting rejected as long as the woman doesn’t humiliate them. Tactic 1 below is an ordinary tactic women use and hasn’t been known to humiliate men yet.
Tactic 1: Cry and nod your head.
Crying while getting proposed to is pretty normal for women. People expect a woman to start crying during a proposal, especially if it happens in public. When people see a woman crying after a proposal in public they automatically believe that she agrees to it but in reality, crying isn’t a direct response.
This tactic keeps the audience distracted so they don’t notice you rejecting his proposal with a head nod while you crying. As long as the crowd doesn’t realize that you rejecting the proposal then your partner won’t get embarrassed and began regretting the whole situation. The appropriate time to reject your partner’s proposal is in a private location so you can explain why you are not ready for marriage. Most proposals happen unexpectedly so you have to react quickly without making a decision you might regret and this tactic will give you time to decide on what you want to do.
Tactic 2: Immediately kneel with your partner and reject them softly in their ear.
This a tactic every woman won’t be successful at because it takes elite skills in order to work. Your reflexes have to be elite or people will realize why you instantly kneeled after your partner. You have to be discreet so the crowd won’t truly know why you and your partner are kneeling together.
Kneeling too late after your partner will put them at risk of getting embarrassed. Once the crowd notices why your partner kneeled and sees you whispering in their ear, they’ll know you are rejecting a marriage proposal. The rejection will be very embarrassing for your partner.
To make this tactic unnoticeable of what you are doing then you should act like you are helping your partner tie their shoe once y’all are both kneeling. The crowd will just look and assume you are assisting your partner with tying their shoe but in reality, you are rejecting their marriage proposal in their ear. Make sure your timing is on point when performing this tactic or it won’t seem natural and the audience will know why you just suddenly kneeled after your partner.
Tactic 3: Be direct and say no.
I advise you to only use this tactic if your partner decides to propose in private. Performing this tactic in public will most definitely humiliate your partner. Especially if they had the proposal planned out with family and friends.
Now, if you don’t care about possibly hurting your partner’s feelings then firmly saying no to their marriage proposal in public will not be a problem for you. Just don’t expect to still be in a relationship with them after denying their proposal in public. It’s rare for a man to stay with a woman who rejected their proposal in public by humiliating him in front of friends and family.
Having a partner that you don’t want to lose but isn’t ready to marry quite yet then you should reject them kindly and provide them with an explanation of why y’all should wait for marriage.
Tactic 4: Agree to the proposal in public but reject the proposal in private.
As mentioned in previous paragraphs, rejecting your partner in public will certainly embarrass them. To prevent embarrassing your partner during a proposal then it’s best to just say yes even if you truly don’t want to. Your partner may be devastated when you let them know in private that you aren’t truly ready for marriage but I’m sure they’ll understand you were saving them from embarrassment.
Lying in front of friends and family isn’t right as well but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to save your relationship. With everybody in the crowd recording the moment, your response will be documented forever. Therefore, your response can’t be forgotten and it’ll be hard for your partner to stay around you after the embarrassment you caused them so most likely they’ll decide to leave.
I advise any woman to perform this tactic if they really care about their partner’s well-being. This tactic doesn’t necessarily apply to women who are careless about how their response will make their partner feel. They should use tactic three and be direct with their response instead of waiting for an appropriate time.
