But his romantic gesture did not go as planned.

He was filmed holding the flowers in front of his crush with obvious nervousness and excitement.
The bouquet had a compartment in the middle that was covered with a heart-shaped top with a question mark on it.
He set fire to the paper to reveal the hidden message written underneath.
It said: “Do you want to be my girlfriend?”
But the flames promptly spread to the apparently fake flowers.
The fabric roses caught alight and Joshuar tried desperately to extinguish them.
At one point, he tried to put out the fire by banging the bouquet on the ground.
The woman was heard laughing throughout his fiery gesture.
It was filmed outside Joshuar’s home in Querétaro, located north-west of Mexico City, Mexico, on Friday (25 Apr).
He called it: “The worst moment of my life.”
Joshuar shared the clip on TikTok where it went viral with over 14m views, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One cynical fan said: “Take it as a sign.”
“You should have done it with natural flowers, who would think of doing that with fabric ones?” added another.
Mario joked: “A very fiery statement.”
Erika remarked: “That relationship will be pure fire.”
Mari quipped: “It’s a burning love…”
