Her Friend Proposed To Her Completely Out Of The Blue So She Said No But He Won’t Accept That As An Answer
A woman recently was proposed to by one of her guy friends completely out of the blue, and obviously, she said no after being caught so off guard by the proposal.
She started out by saying that she’s been friends with this guy for 5 years, but he’s not like her best friend or anything.
She only occasionally chats with him, and she recently had not even seen him for a few years.
Anyway, this guy friend of hers stopped by the town she lives in, and he happened to ask if she would be free to hang out and grab drinks.
She said yes, and went to meet up with him. They chatted during drinks just about what he was up to and what he was doing with his life.
The bar they were at was only 2 blocks from the apartment she has, so her friend suggested that he walk her home.
So, they left the bar, and he walked her back to her place. As soon as the two of them got to her front door, he asked her if he could kiss her.
She did not tell him no out loud, but she turned her head so he could not kiss her on the mouth.
After that, he wanted to come upstairs to her apartment so they could keep chatting.

“Maybe this sounds like I “should know better” but keep in mind I’ve known this guy as a friend for many years and have spent time 1-1 without anything happening,” she explained.
“I say sure and we go up to my apartment and drink some water and then he says he wants to ask me something and gets on one knee and proposes to me (like had a ring and everything).”
“I say, I’m so overwhelmed this really isn’t what I’m looking for and basically he left shortly after.”
“Then instead of him taking that as an answer he continually half apologizes or keeps pushing me to consider it.”
She can’t believe he did not accept the fact that she declined his proposal, and since then, she’s pretty much avoided him.
She doesn’t understand how they even got to this point, because throughout their friendship, she never did anything to lead him on or make him think that she was into him romantically.
She’s now considering sending him the below note:
Dear [], It was very kind of you to propose. I value our connection and respect you.
I think we have very different comfort levels and understandings of what getting engaged means – I’d only be comfortable accepting a proposal from someone I am in a committed relationship with and am deeply in love.
You are totally entitled to your own perspective and I respect that but it doesn’t feel like we’re on the same page. Where I am right now, I’d prefer we just stay friends.
How would you feel?
