If you don’t want to see this behavior as a red flag, I cannot stop you. But I stay away from guys like this now and I’ve never regretted it.

Of course. But saying, "You should always feel this way about these kinds of proposals" is a bit much. We can't possibly know everyone's situation.

I don’t think it’s too much to expect the person asking you to spend the rest of your life with them to not force you to make major life decisions in front of their friends. It doesn’t get better after you’re married.

Hopefully he'd know that it's not your thing. I know plenty of women who want these kinds of proposals. We can't speak for all marriages that start this way.

Thats why I specified the surprise kind of these things. If it’s consensual, do whatever you want. Flashmob away. But so often abusers hide their abuse with big public displays of affection and love bombing. Always question the wholesome.
