How should I propose to my girlfriend?

Question

Ok, I am a very romantic guy (believe it or not we are out there). For our anniversary, I lit 100 tea light candles and but them all around the railing of my deck and had her the ultimate candle light dinner complete with romantic music, good steak, and a great homemade cheesecake if I do say so myself. I made her a notebook filled with poems that I wrote myself. For Valentine's Day, I rented out the private seating of the local theater for just the two of us. Not trying to be boastful but I just had to say all of that to give insight on why I am asking this question. I have done these three things which I feel were all amazing but now I am out of ideas for the one thing that I should have saved the best idea for: The proposal. I have tried and tried to think of something but I can't. I know all you ladies will say that it will be memorable no matter what I do but that isn't good enough for me. I love this woman with all my heart and I take pride in making her feel like she is the most important person in the world. So I need a brilliant idea on how to propose. Travel is an issue because we are both in college which means we have no time and are both completely broke so this idea can't require a lot of travel and it can't require a lot of cash. Some money is ok but just not overboard. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, I have done the whole send her on a treasure hunt thing where she goes to different places that are meaningful to us and then finds me with a gift at the last stop.

Answer 1

You sound like you'd be willing to go a long ways to make her happy... so.. here's my idea: gather all the pictures that you have of you, your favorite memories, her favorite things. Make a photo album (you can even use iPhoto with "autoflow" so you don't have to do the layout). I think Kodak also allows you to make albums easily. Leave some white spaces so you can write more poems, and things like "10 reasons why I'll love you forever". At the very end of the album of all these wonderful memories, put a picture of the ring with the text "I can't wait to start a new chapter with you.. Will you marry me?".



Then plan a day out, like a hot air balloon ride, a wine tasting... pull out the book.. wait for her to get through it... and then pull out the ring in front of her when she's at the end!!

Answer 2

Find something that is special between the two of you or special to her. My husband made me my very favorite dinner at home. He had candlelight, wine the whole works. I was completely oblivious the whole time. Then for desert he told me had had pumpkin pie, it was in the oven. I opened up the oven, saw it in there and when I turned around he was on one knee. It was great. Another friend of mine got proposed to by her boyfriend when they had walked down to her favorite tree. She always went there to escape any problems she was having and since it was sacred to her he proposed there. If she isn't shy, you can always go with the fancy dinner at a restaurant and propose in front of all those people. You may want to be positive that she'll say yes though. Also, if you are close with friends and family, have a group of them together and propose in front of everyone. That way they all feel included and you don't have to spend the night calling people on the phone. Another idea, talk to her best friend so long as she isn't a big mouth and see if your girlfriend has ever mentioned an ideal proposal to her. Best of luck to you!

*There is no need for using fanciful or big grandiloquent words to impress her. Rather, it may prove to be a big turn off. The best way is to express your true feeling in the simplest manner.

*To show that you really care for her. Invite her to a quiet and romantic dinner for just the two of you, at your place. Prepare all her favorite dishes and play her favorite music. Along with your love, it will also show how much you know about her.

*Prepare a banner, with the words "I Love You" or "Will You Marry Me". Stick this banner outside her home or her office, where she is bound to notice it. Please do not use her name on that banner. Better to use some nickname that only you two know of.

*If you can afford, sky writing your proposal is an excellent idea. But make sure that you are with her when the proposal is written.

*Proposing at the same place where both of you met for the first time or the place both of you have fond memories of, is a good idea.

*If you have some beaches nearby, drive there in the evening. With soft music playing in your car, propose her when the sun is setting. The whole ambience will make her go weak in the knees.







hope it helps.:>

OK...this won't cost a lot of money and I am assuming that you are not far from each other in college. So, since you do not see her often, get to her town SECRETLY and send her on a scavenger hunt, either around town or on campus BUT at the end of the hunt, she finds YOU, kneeling with the ring in hand, ready to propose.



Enlist her parents, friends, anyone who is discreet and can help pull this off. Lemme know if you need more details on the set up.

Answer 5

Grow some balls man. Your about to get married. Do something that screams you as a couple. Only you know what that is. Getting cheesy romantic ideas off the internet is lame. You have a brain and your such a man of romance, this should be easy for you. Make sure its something you will always remember and it is in a place that you can always go by and say, "that's our spot".

Answer 6

i cant believe your asking this on yahoo

figure it out yourself, i dont mean to sound rude

but im pretty sure if your gf found out you asked complete strangers how to propose to her

she would be pretty mad

do something you know is meaningful - something the both of you would enjoy like going back to where you had your first date.

you say your very romantic - so think of something!

Answer 7

Dude, just ask her outright. I think she knows that you love her. No need to make a big speech and stuff.
