A love-struck young “Romeo” from China tried, but failed to woo his “Juliet” – a female university student – by flying a luxury brand bag up to her dormitory window attached to a camera drone.
The failed attempt was made by the would-be suitor in Langfang, Hebei province, on Tuesday, the cri.cn news website reported.

The unnamed, bespectacled Romeo, who witnesses said drove a luxury car, arrived outside the girl’s dormitory on campus with a few friends.
After tying the bag to the camera drone, he flew it up to the female student’s second-floor window.
Photos posted online show the budding Romeo's friends held up a pink sign with the words, “Love You”, as the suitor controlled drone.
However, the clearly unimpressed female rejected his efforts. His love went unrequited.

Her roommates used a mop and two brooms to push away the drone, which almost fell to the ground, and Romeo was left with no choice but to leave disappointed, cri.cn reported.
Creative, eye-catching attempts by men to court and even propose marriage to female university students often make the headlines in mainland China.
In June 2012, a man brought 11 luxury BMW cars to a university in Hunan province to propose to his girlfriend, who was studying there for her master’s degree; this time the proposal was accepted.
