26 Romantic Gestures That Backfired Horribly
Even the most thoughtful gestures can blow up in your face.
One Redditor knows all about this, and told the story of how asking his crush to prom resulted in marriage — just not the way he expected. He thought up an elaborate plan, and created a display leading to his crush’s front yard, complete with signs asking her to the big dance. The only thing missing? His name.
As it turns out, a neighbor had a crush on the same girl, saw an opportunity and claimed responsibility for the well-crafted promposal. “She said yes to him. Nobody believed I did it, and they’re now married,” he explained.
Several other Redditors have found themselves on the backfired end of a romantic gesture and broken-heartedly told their stories, the wildest of which involve flaming trees, painful burns and a sewage-sabotaged picnic.
