"If he wanted to, he would" has become one of the internet's favorite relationship mantras, but who would've guessed an iconic landmark would be the latest to chime in with the same advice?
The Empire State Building in New York City is proving it's not just a well-known backdrop for love stories, it's got relationship advice to share, too. After two climbers, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov (also known as Ivan Beerkus), got engaged atop the landmark after a dangerous climb, the building's social media team jumped into action with a viral-worthy message.
After news broke that two climbers were on the top of the Empire State Building flying a flag, people were tuned in to see what would happen next. But what happened next even took news reporters by surprise! When Ivan got down on one knee, the narrative of the shocking moment shifted from a dangerous stunt to a sweet marriage proposal.
The Empire State Building's social media team decided to take this opportunity to continue to promote proposals at the NYC landmark, and use the shocking experience as a relationship lesson in the process.
"Ladies: If he wanted to, he would… Just maybe on our 86th Floor Observation Deck," they wrote in a cheeky Instagram post. It didn't take long for social media users to get in on the action in the comment section.

A daredevil couple climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and unfurled a banner on top of its spire Wednesday afternoon, taking their love to new heights.
Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, who have gained an online following for their death-defying skyscraper climbs around the world, stayed on top of the skyscraper for several minutes as cameras rolled on the action before coming down on the spire, police sources told ABC News.
Beerkus then appeared to propose to his longtime girlfriend before they were taken into custody.
