Quoting fatima22:

How do you deal with a surprised proposal for marriage??

When a guy springs with a surprised proposal for marriage, how does a girl respond without losing a beautiful friendship?

There are situations when you are caught unprepared and a guy suddenly proposes to you but actually marriage to him was never on your mind. He has been a good and trusted friend but when this happens it puts you in a difficult situation because:

If you say 'NO' it would hurt the guy's feelings and you end up losing a very good friend, because he would have been embarassed and hurt by your response.

If you say 'YES' when you are actually not fully prepared, you still end up losing a very good friend because a one-sided marriage produces different expectations and comittments from the partners and the relationship will eventually turn sour.

It is such a sensitive situation....
