No tworelationships—or two people, for that matter—are the same, so there is no such thing as the perfect place to propose. However, some locations are known to be more popular than others, such asCappadociain Turkey or, of course, the city of love, Paris.

“We had not talked about it too in depth,” the woman told Bored Panda

“I told him I thought the photos we had taken already were romantic enough for me and that I wasn’t upset to have missed out on a classic couple photo like that,” the OP shared, adding that they are still doing really well as a couple, plan to move in together in January, and will discuss marriage and future plans around that time.

Many people dream of the moment they get engaged. But their dreams are not all the same. As do relationships, the right moment for popping the question, too, differs from couple to couple – what sounds great to some might be the proposal scenario from hell to others.

The perfect setting for the proposal is a subjective matter, too: be it a basketball game, Disney World, a remote hiking trail, or Paris, they all can simultaneously be the best and the worst place to propose to someone you love.

Most couples reportedly wait for 2.5 years on average before getting engaged

While the last day of the year is not considered a great choice for most, the month leading up to it seemingly is. According to Statista,Decemberis the most popular month for getting engaged with a proposal rate of 19 percent (while during other months it stays under the mark of 10%). The festive mood seems to positively affect people’s motivation to take the leap and pop the question!

Granted, it’s not the festive mood or the right month of the year that arguably matters the most when it comes to the best time for a proposal; the duration of the relationship is. According to the BRIDES magazine, couples in the US wait roughly2.5 yearson average before getting engaged. ROX’s survey suggests a similar timeframe, stating that the perfect time to propose to your partner is 2 years and 112 days into the relationship.

The OP shared that she and her boyfriend have been together for two years; however, neither of them felt they were ready for such a significant step in their relationship. But that didn’t stop the boyfriend from wanting to take aproposal picturein front of the Eiffel Tower, which his girlfriend found a little odd. Many redditors seemingly did, too, as they sided with the woman, saying that she wasn’t being a jerk for refusing to take the picture.

Most netizens didn’t think the woman was being a jerk to her boyfriend
