propose

Number one place to shop for engagement rings: Bed, Bath & Beyond. Number one way to not get proposed to: want this ring.

And if you asked for your lady's hand in marriage with this one, maybe it's time for an upgrade.

Say please. Keep your shoelaces tied. Wash your hands. Don't tell lies. Buckle up. Don't go swimming for 30 minutes after you eat. Respect your elders. Don't steal.

These are important lessons we all learn early on in life. And as we go into adulthood, we take these lessons with us.

But there are some things our parents and teachers don't explicitly warn us about. And we have to learn those lessons the hard way.

For example, don't propose in public unless you're pretty sure she'll say yes. And don't propose in a mall food court unless you're pretty sure she's blind and deaf and can't tell where you are.

Lessons learned.

What's next?  Proposing via text message?  Proposing on Twitter?  Checking into marriage on Foursquare?

Proposing over the Internet is a surefire plan for rejection.  A number of you have tried proposing via comments on the Tosh.0 blog and Daniel has proven that doesn't work.

Need further proof?  Watch this:

Hey, chick with the tits that just divorced the Sexiest Man Alive…  Ryan whatever his name is…  Will you marry me?

I think when that offer fails, we'll have proven once and for all that proposing on the web never works.
