Super Proposal

Once a week or so a new video appears where some dude with a lot of time on his hands creates an extra elaborate way to propose to his girlfriend. This has somehow expanded out into guys asking their dates to prom. Whether it's a choreographed dance off or shooting out of a cannon, guys are going above and beyond. I get it, extreme show of love and all that; but with a divorce rate of 54% these guys are setting themselves up for failure.
Say you convince all of your friends to get together and schedule a flash mob to propose, then said flash mob is recorded and put on you tube. After however many months or years, you get divorced. Not only are your friends not going to be interested in learning a new dance for your next girl, but if she's seen your previous you tube video, you're in deep shit. How are you going to top the first proposal? Then say you do top it. Divorce rates for second marriages are 10% higher! You're just deeper in the hole.
And what about those girls that get asked to prom with a fake arrest? How does their new man follow that? What if he doesn't know? Then you have the girl thinking about how lame his proposal was compared to that kid in high school.
I think Van Gogh had it right, if you dig her, cut something off. That'll make you at least think twice about working it out.
