Proposing

[Peasant Phill]

I've been together with my girlfriend for more than 10 years now. We've been living together for more than a year, which is a far bigger test on our relationship than the 9 years before that. We've been talking about children and marriage on many occasions.
It's time I ask the question.

So how did you propose? Was proposed to? Or heard of a great way to propose.

[Lemur]

I wasn't very good. Suggested that we get married over drinks at a party, which prompted her to yell at me for not having class for a day or so. But she said yes, so all's well that ends well.

Also, to add to my unorthodoxy, I knew that she had been wanting a dog since forever, and I had said no to it. So I suggested that she could have an engagement ring or an engagement dog. She picked the dog.

Needless to say, the dog attended the wedding:

Proposed on my knees at midnight on New Year's Eve with a huge rock in my hand. Worked like a charm.

[pevergreen]

I'd do it on new years eve, at midnight as well. Since its close enough that you arent waiting forever and its far enough away to get prepared (and also pay for the ring)

Too young to have gone through this before, but goodluck

You've been dating her for 10 years and want to propose now? Sure you want to rush into this?

Pick a date that has special meaning to her, the first time you met, first date, whatever.

For me it was Valentines Day. Distracted her with the roses and when she finished reading the card and looked at me I was on bended knee with the ring.

Nice one.

waited until her Birthday, took her out to a very nice dinner, then took a Midnight Walk on Montecito Beach where after having planned out exactly everything I wanted to say, my brain decided to turn into mush and I couldn't remember what I had wanted to say. So, I nervously took the ring out of my pocket, and got down on my knee on the Wet Beach where I sank about a half a foot in the sand, and said something along the lines of "Do you want to make it official?" Which is kind of strange thing to say, but she said "no." which my heart sank for about five seconds until she said "you're an idiot. Of course."

my dad waited until they went to australia.

[Rhyfelwyr]

You obviously need to find a way to propose to her on live TV...

Great idea.

Do it on the top of Ayers Rock. Biggest rock in the world.

Wow... This is nearly exactly what I did.
Took her out for her birthday (dinner etc.) then walked with her in the city center park and waited until after midnight (a new day). We sat on a bench and there were no people around. I fished the ring out of my pocket got down on one knee in front of her and without stumbling (at least that is how I remember it) said: "I love you, and have loved you since the day we met. Can I be your husband? Will you marry me?" Her eyes brimmed with tears and she answered: "Of course my love".
The ring was a few sizes to big and we kept the engagement a secret for 2 weeks until she got the ring back with the right size. It was a plain Gold ring with a single diamond embedded into it.

Whoa! Great picture Lemur! I found myself instantly hard











pressed to write some encouraging words for Peasant Phil, that he may find the courage to propose.

I asked her the last day of our vacation in Tunesia.

We had a romantic candle light dinner and afterwards I took her out for a walk on the beach. Went on my knees and asked the question. She said yes

A friend of mine did something more original.

He and his girlfriend would watch some DVD. Instead of the movie DVD, he had recorded himself while reading a text and asking "the" question. He put in that DVD instead of the movie DVD, said he needed to go to the toilet, instead secretly went to the kitchen for a bottle of champagne, two glasses and the engagement ring.

He took his time and when he came back in the living room, he found his girlfriend in tears, murmuring "yes, I will".
