Unfortunately for would-be Romeo, she said no – leaving him with a bouquet of flowers, a mountain of phones, and likely a very empty wallet. iphone proposal

Turns out, she was not his "girlfriend:"

MacDailyNews Note: She wasn’t his girlfriend, she was a co-worker with whom he was smitten.

A guy at Free Republic (obviously wiser than I) told me once that "Women pick the Men, not the other way around."

That's a disheartening scenario, given that Men are "story book scripted" into chasing the "woman of their dreams" past the moons of Orion's Belt and Jupiter.

That's a hard lesson.

Our Chinese gentleman will clearly "never" be the same.

He's romantically ruined for life.

Nah, there was a screw loose to propose like that to someone who said no. He’ll get right back on the horse, maybe with 100 iPhones next time.

Maybe that’s where the phrase Belle-Bottoms really came from. Yes, I added an ‘e’ to bell.

Well now, wasn’t that embarrassing. Most girls would ask to transfer to a different work area after this little circus.

If true, that would be creepy - and a very challenging HR problem.

Re-arrange them in the shape of "HELL NO!" and walk quickly away from the fruit cake.
