I personally would never even think of denying a poor graduate from trying, however clumsily, to impress the girl he fancies with some unaffordable ring. Bad financial decision? Maybe. Story of beautiful romance? Absolutely.

> Story of beautiful romance? Absolutely.

Going into unaffordable debt for a trinket is a story of beautiful romance to you? That's just profoundly sad.

"Aww, you risked bankruptcy unnecessarily because you think I'm vain. And now you want me to be financially bound to you for life. How sweet."
Do you seriously think that healthy relationships can be bought with money?
