据英国《每日邮报》报道,圣诞前夜近日被票选为求婚时机。英国一家网站近日邀请网民投票选出他们心目中的求婚时机,结果有32%的人选择了圣诞前夜,是所有单日中选择最多的。
  圣诞假期被认为是最浪漫的求婚时段,总计有49%的网民选择了包括圣诞前夜在内的圣诞假期进行求婚。至于求婚方式,51%的女性希望对方直截了当抛出问题:“你愿意嫁给我吗?”15%的女性则表示希望对方借助现代技术——其中29%的女性希望通过电子邮件,27%的人希望通过手机短信,只有19%的人性希望通过电话求婚。打电话现在成了最不受欢迎的间接求婚方式。
  调查还发现,大男子主义依然存在,男性依然期待展现他们的骑士风采来主导求婚时刻。高达65%的男性表示,如果女性主动求婚,他们则会拒绝。有趣的是,有的人并不认为圣诞假期必然要找个伴共享浪漫时光。另一项由单身交友网站针对2000名网民的调查发现,近四分之三的人表示圣诞前夕适宜提出分手。

  Text message was also a popular answer, scoring 27 per cent of the vote, while over the phone came in last place with 19 per cent of the vote.
  And it seems that chauvinism is not dead, with 65 per cent of men saying that they would say no if their girlfriend proposed, found the survey by Chillisauce.co.uk.
  However, another survey found that, for some people, Christmas isn’t about sharing, or caring - it’s about quite the opposite.A survey of 2,000 by singles dating website Flirt.com found that nearly three quarters of Brits believe it’s okay to end a new relationship in the days leading up to Christmas. Talk about a Bah Humbug!
