    This is one of many reasons proposals should be talked about in advance. If you like surprises your partner doesn’t need to know exactly when the proposal is coming, but generally it should be known if a proposal is coming in the more immediate future, in the long term, or not at all.

      But that’s also a target demographic here. Let’s say you talk with your partner and a proposal is coming in some near term future.

      You go away for a weekend to the beach, but are not planning to propose–youre going to do that at the park where you first met or whatever.

      SO sees this, gets excited, then get let down and isn’t ever in the same great spirits the rest of the day/weekend.

      Still a chaos inducing opportunity
