In my experience, for a man to decide to pop the question has to be one of the most nerve wracking moments in his life. Okay - well, what the hell do I know? I'm not a man, I've never popped the question, and my husband was engaged three times before we ever even met each other and finally got married ourselves.
So maybe it's a bit easier than I think it is.
But still - it would be nerve wracking for me. So I could not imagine what poor Lefkos Hajji of London must be going through.
This poor man spent $12,000 on a diamond ring and planned the perfect proposal. He had the ring placed into a balloon and planned to hand his girlfriend a pin so she could pop the balloon while he "popped the question". Awww....
Well - it would have been perfect had it not been for the wind that blew the balloon out of her hands and took with it the $12,000 diamond ring. Lefkos Hajji followed the balloon for a couple of hours in his car, hoping it would drop and return the ring to him.
When he returned to explain to his girlfriend what had happened she freaked - and refuses to talk to him until he buys her a new ring. Now, all Hajji can do is hope that someone finds the ring and returns it to him.
Hopefully, human nature will prove me wrong and the ring will be returned and Hajji can have a second chance at his perfect proposal.
But my question is - would he still want to? I mean - the girl freaked and refused to talk to him until he bought her a new ring? Holy Selfish Batman!
If I were him, I would not be thinking twice about her... save the perfect proposal from someone a little less greedy, selfish, bitchy... I could go on. But I'm sure you get my point.
Bah...
It's women like her that make me embarrassed to be a member of the gender

That's such a crazy story! Poor guy!
But I totally agree with you, if all the girl could think of was her ring, she's definitely not worth it! Hopefully he dumps her and finds someone who's actually worth ALL that effort!!
It was a cute proposal but I think the ring blowing a way was a sign. And besides she freaked out and wanted another ring. Selfish!!! Maybe it wasnt true love.
Yeah, right there with you.

wow! that was another way of proposing. i hope he doesnt propose to her again, she doesnt deserve it.
I say it was a good thing that the wind blew the ring away. It revealed the true nature of the crazy woman he was about to propose to and therefore, saved him from misery if he decides to take the hint (and I hope he does). I'd tell her to (undiplomatically) suck it and promptly find someone worthy of the time and attention he is obviously willing to lavish on a woman.

Yea, pretty sad!
I think it's even worse that she didn't know about the ring until he went back and told her. If he hadn't decided to go back and tell her about the ring and why he was so upset about the wind blowing away the balloon, she might not have ever known.
But, tell a lady there's a ring involved and Hello!

...sounds like the woman has some serious psychiatric issues.
I suppose that's a much nicer way to put it. LOL

Wow. My man proposed to me in the cafeteria at school, but he didn't get down on one knee because he didn't want to embarrass me. He gave me a ring of his that he's had for a while. I have to wear it on my middle finger because it's too big, but that doesn't matter. When a man proposes, it's not the ring that's important, it's the fact that he's willing to spend the rest of his life with you. If all a girl cares about is the ring....get away from her. If I'd been her, I would have been a little more understanding, and very impressed by how sweet he is.
I don't need drugs - I have genetics.
Same here. I love my engagement ring, not because it's a grand ring (in reality it's quite small and rather perfect for me) but because of the meaning behind it. My husband was gone for a week and as soon as he walked in the door, he dropped down on one knee and proposed to me. It was so sweet. Once he was able to afford it, he asked if I wanted a bigger ring. I told in absolutely not. I love the one I have and wouldn't dream of getting another. This is the one that reminds me of the proposal and how much I adore him. I don't want a flashy or expensive ring. This one is perfect.
Anyone more concerned with the ring than what it means should be throttled.

That's my jaw hitting the floor. Damn the fact that there aren't more of you.
That was such a thoughtful proposal but I think he definitely received his sign to get away from her. All of the thought that he put into that was more than anything money can buy. How very ungrateful but he definitely deserves someone who can appreciate him for the important thing he does (not buys) for them. Great blog...
I hope the guy gets his ring back!!!
So basically she just wanted him for his money. That sucks! He went all out for her and all she can say is when the ring gets lost, go get me another one! thats so freakin lame.Seriously. She makes me ashamed to be a woman myself. When my boyfriend proposed to me, he didn't even have a ring. I still accepted his proposal and he has the ring on layway. She does'nt deserve to marry anybody then.
OMG I read that story. I feel horrible for him, but when I heard about her reaction I was disgusted. Unless the 12 grand was her money then she has no reason to be a self-centered bitch... oops can i say that? It's women like her that make men afraid of commitment!!

OMG I can't believe that that woman would do such a thing. I mean she was mad, she is the one that let it go. I was proposed to on Christmas Eve with my family here. It was nothing fancy. I mean we were in pj's and I had no makeup on, but it was still the sweetest thing ever. And I appreciate it, I wouldn't have gotten mad if something had happened that made it go wrong. She needs to grow up, and he needs a new woman.
ew, dont feel embarrassed for your entire gender and one half of the human race because of one material-obsessed bimbo.
lady. Come on.
This story is unbelieveable. $12,000 gone down the drain and to make matters worse she refuse to talk to him.That women is not for him then. She should have been consider knowing that he already feel bad for losing $12,000 not adding some more stress on him by not talking to him. Wow how inconsider can she be? How inconsider some greedy women can be?

Second step: Find a new girlfriend

and that is yet another reason why my decision to stay away from marriage, feels right. Poor bastard... all he wanted was to give her a perfect moment and now for the rest of his life balloons will remind him of this vile selfish woman.
Guess he'll never be able to listen to Nena....
Right! Wait...
Now I have that song in my head...

wow...
if that guy goes back to her, he's an idiot. And honestly so is she. you dont NOT speak to a guy who has the money to by a $12,000 ring. lolz since she's so shallow you'd think she'd realize that...poor guy
I would have just been happy to be proposed to. What a selfish Bi*ch. I really don't think that he should even reconsider marrying her. I believe you are right some women do make us look like a money hungry and selfish gender.

Love comments? I do too!
Aww what a sweet way to propose....too bad the chick was such a douche. I probably would've cried at how sweet it was and then spent the next few months helping him earn back the money. After all, you're going to be partners in crime for a long time!
Times flies like the wind; fruit flies like a banana.
Forget that chick, I would just forget about her.
My husband poped the question while we were parasailing, i was so surprised i bu,ped the ring out of his hand...OPPS!
