Onlookers in a busy mall were left feeling sorry for a man after his proposal to his girlfriend was rejected. However, South Africans felt the opposite and respected the lady's decision, seeing that such a public act would apply too much pressure on her to accept.

A daring act

TikToker @MusawenkosiHoza posted the video showing a young-looking man getting down on one knee in a busy part of the mall. The lady being proposed to doesn't look pleased and decides to walk away from the scene, with the man apologizing to the public for his failed attempt.

Romantic gestures can be a hit or a miss depending on the person being proposed to.
