Romantic strikes wrong chord

practised a touching speech and had even taken his beloved back to the place where they met so he could pop the question.
But as he met her outside a fast food shop in a shopping mall, perhaps he should have guessed that getting down on bended knee in front of whooping shoppers might not strike quite the right note.
In a video posted by a bystander on YouTube the man startles his (possibly now ex) girlfriend by proposing to her in front of gleeful customers in the food court section of the fashion mall, named as Sherman Oaks Galleria in Los Angeles.
The dejected romantic declares to the girl – named as Caroline – just how much he loves her and why they must be together.
“We met one year ago right in front of this Cinnabon,” he begins.
“I was dizzy in your presence, Caroline. I love everything about you . . . I love how you curl up next to me on the sofa and purr like a kitten.
“Make me the most happiest and dizzy man in the world.”
He is joined by a guitarist, who accompanies him as he bursts into song, serenading the panicking girl with Neil Diamond’s classic song “Sweet Caroline”.
Despite his heartfelt sentiments and the ogling shoppers who shout at her to accept, “Caroline”, whose hands have been clamped over her mouth in shock since he started his proposal and murmuring “Oh my God, what are you doing?” at him, looks around the centre and decides to dash out.
The young man is left heartbroken, surrounded by shocked shoppers who snap pictures of him and try to console the rejected Romeo with “that was brutal” and “it’s alright, man, it’s alright.”
Hopefully next time the young man will opt to propose in a slightly more secluded setting. – Daily Ma- il.
