Singles' Day is coming up this week in China, and one poor guy got a head start on the Nov. 11 holiday. He planned an extravagant proposal to his girlfriend by purchasing 99 iPhone 6s [1] and placing them in the shape of the heart. Standing in the middle of the smartphones with a bouquet of flowers and friends looking on, the man asked for his partner's hand in marriage. It must have been pretty awkward when her response was . . . "no." Check out the rest of the cringeworthy pictures.

The phones cost this man $82,000, which is about two years' salary in China.

Luckily the demand for new iPhone 6 is still pretty high, so we're thinking the unlucky guy can try to sell his new surplus of smartphones.
