    what would you do if you were this guy?

    (id tell the girl to take a hike. :mad: )

    LONDON (Reuters) - It is the one moment every man wants to get right -- and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong.

    The luckless 28 year-old's dreams of giving his sweetheart, Leanne, 26, the ultimate proposal have literally vanished into thin air.

    Hajji, of Hackney, east London, had concealed a $12,000 engagement ring inside a helium balloon. The idea was that she would pop the balloon as he popped the question.

    But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring -- and quite possibly the affections of his girlfriend -- sailing away over the rooftops.

    "I couldn't believe it," he told The Sun newspaper.

    "I just watched as it went further and further into the air.

    "I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."

    Hajji spent two hours in his car trying to chase and find the balloon, without success.

    "I thought I would give Leanne a pin so I could literally pop the question," he said.

    "But I had to tell her the story -- she went absolutely mad. Now she is refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring." :mad:

    He is hoping the ring will still turn up.

    "It would be amazing if someone found it," he added.

    I think 'fate' may be trying to tell him something, but it looks like he ain't listening...

    That's easy, she wouldn't have to speak to me, cuz I wouldn't be speaking to her ever again either.

    It is common for women to act this way in the UK.

    Chick is vapid and shallow for sure, but the guy is a grade A idiot for putting a $12,000 ring in a balloon that he just casually holds by a string.

    What a biotch! I don't think putting the ring in a balloon was the smartest idea either though.

    My thoughts exactly. The guy had 12 grand to waste on a ring and a stupid balloon is all he can do???
