'I thought it was weird': Woman Says No to Boyfriend’s Request for Fake Proposal Photos in Paris, Leaves Him Sulking

A lot of women dream about the perfect proposal. And with the age of social media, it's easy to get wrapped up in those viral proposal posts—complete with candlelit dinners, scenic backdrops, and flawless photos. It's almost like there's an unspoken pressure to live up to those grand gestures. But even if you have the ideal proposal setting in mind, nothing kills the magic quite like getting proposed to too soon. Or, in this case, getting "fake" proposed to.

On a romantic trip to Paris, one woman's boyfriend suggested they do a staged proposal photo at the Eiffel Tower, just for the sake of capturing the picturesque moment. Her heart initially skipped a beat, thinking he might be serious, only for him to clarify that it was just for the aesthetic. Understandably, she wasn't too thrilled with the idea—posing for such a huge moment without the real emotions behind it felt odd. Now, he's been sulking, feeling they missed out on a picture-perfect memory, while she's wondering if she made the right call.
