‘May a love like this never find me’ gobsmacked people say as man gets PROPOSED to & doesn’t even look up from his phone
A WOMAN has left the internet gobsmacked after proposing to her boyfriend.
Amanda Loka, shared the special moment on social media, but people were left horrified by his reaction.
In the clip, her partner was sitting on the sofa scrolling on his phone just as most of us do in the evening.
Amanda slowly walked up to him as he sat on the couch, and then got down on one knee as all good proposal stories start off.
As she did, he looked up from his phone for a second and looked startled by what was going on.
He let a little smirk spread across his face before looking down at his phone again, clearly confused.
“When everything feels like a movie,” she captioned the post.
She then got out a jewellery box and beckoned him to come closer and pulled his arm out so she could put a ring on his finger.
While her partner did look happy after realising what was going on, he still refused to put his phone down leaving many viewers stunned.
“He said yes,” she wrote over the video.
But it seemed people weren’t impressed with the proposal no matter how happy the couple seemed to be.
The video soon went viral over on her TikTok account @sandstedtloka with over 2.7 million views and 125k likes.
People were quick to say they could never be happy with how it went.
One person wrote: “Girl this is a damn shame.”
Another commented: “May a love like this never find me.”
“Never could be me,” penned a third.
How to ace a proposal
Thinking of proposing? Follow this checklist by Fabulous’ Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths to ensure a yes…
- Time it right – the average Brit waits between 18 months and two years to get engaged. But you might feel ready after six months, or decide to wait five plus years to pop the question. Only you truly know when the time’s right, and this isn’t a decision you want to rush. Falling in love might feel amazing but of course most relationships DON’T end in marriage – and this is for good reason…
- Pay attention – hopefully you haven’t reached the point yet of your frustrated partner leaving their laptop open with ‘hints’ for rings they like. Ideally you’ll want the ring to be a secret, but also something they’d happily wear – and for the rest of their life, so just a TEENY bit of pressure here. You need to be paying attention to any comments your partner makes about other people’s rings, what they do and don’t like, and what’s most important to them – size, clarity, specific details. If you’re really unsure, or if your partner hates surprises, it’s best to propose with a dummy and then buy the real thing together.
- Family matters – tradition dictates that you ask the dad’s permission for his daughter’s hand in marriage, but it’s not so straightforward nowadays. Maybe your partner’s closer to their step-dad, or wants her mum to walk her down the aisle, in which case you’d be better off chatting to them. Maybe they’d find it weird if you went to their parents first, in which case you could ditch the whole thing. Or perhaps they’re closer to their friends and the best idea would be letting your partner’s best mate pick the ring. These things do matter and could come back to bite you if handled in the wrong way.
- Plan the setting – does your partner dread being centre of attention, or are they someone who’d be gutted if you proposed at home, berating you forever for a lack of ‘effort’? Plan the place for your perfect proposal – how busy it’ll be, whether you’ll be able to get a good pic there, and other logistics around it. A proposal at the top of a mountain might sound good in theory but your girlfriend might not actually appreciate it when there’s sweat dripping down her forehead and she’s not wearing the cute dress she’d imagined for the pictures. Personally, I can’t think of anything worse than a public proposal where everyone’s waiting to hear your answer – in a group of friends, the middle of a restaurant or with an announcement at an event. So bear all of this in mind and remember, it’s meant to be about what THEY want, not you.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “HE DIDN’T EVEN PUT HIS PHONE DOWN?”
“My ego would never,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “You could not pay me to do this.”
In the comments section, Amanda revealed that the proposal was just a prank and her partner’s reaction wasn’t a big deal.
