1: Decide when to propose. It's important to get
the timing right, and timing is really only
something that you can work out. It's not
possible to say that there are perfect times to
propose but it is important that you propose at a
time when you're not rushed and when you feel
calm, sorted, and ready. Once you've planned
the proposal in as much detail as possible, then
the time will be right. Some things to keep in
mind though:
Is there a meaningful day to the both of you?
Such as an anniversary of your relationship or
first date, or some other commemoration?
Sometimes the time chooses itself by sheer
practicality, especially if the two of you are
living in different cities and come together for
a special holiday event and this is your only
chance to ask her.
Consider the time of year she wants to get
married. It's helpful to ask her or indirectly
through her friends or family if there is a
certain season, month, or length of time she
wants to be engaged in order to plan the
wedding without feeling overwhelmed or
rushed.
Proposing on special holidays or birthdays has
advantages and drawbacks. On the one
hand, these days can make the occasion
more meaningful, especially if family is
gathered around or it's a time of great joy. On
the other hand, you will always share your
proposal date with the holiday date; if you
want to celebrate your engagement date,
this can make it feel less impersonal for some,
while for others, it's a great way to
remember!

4:Decide where you will propose. The place
and atmosphere of the proposal will be
remembered forever and the most important
thing to remember is that you are the principal
creator of the atmosphere! Naturally, you can
propose absolutely anywhere but it helps to
choose a place that will be meaningful for both
of you and where you can feel comfortable,
calm, and natural.
Where are her favorite places? Does she love
the beach, sunsets, tall buildings, bridges,
cityscapes, nature, etc.? Or perhaps she'd
appreciate a private screening in the local
cinema?
What is practical? The harder you try to
create a special occasion, the more things
can go wrong. Sometimes it's just easier to
focus on what you know will work and will be
appreciated by both of you.
Consider romantic places such as the beach,
a botanical garden, a famous restaurant with
an amazing view, a covered bridge, a picnic,
etc.
Consider the things the two of you love doing
together. Perhaps this can serve as a source
of inspiration, such as proposing when you're
out camping, fishing, sailing, hiking, cycling,
attending a sports event, traveling
somewhere, etc.
Make reservations if you need to. If you're
proposing somewhere like a restaurant where
you need to be able to get the best table,
etc., be sure to reserve it well in advance.



2: Decide how you will propose. Once you've
decided the when and the where, the intimate
details of the how need consideration. Naturally,
there is the ring to produce but what other
elements do you want to add into the mix to
make this an especially memorable and
romantic occasion for her? Bear in mind that the
manner in which you propose will be retold by
her many times over, so make sure it's good!
There are many possibilities and it's entirely up
to you what you do but for some inspiration,
here are some suggestions:
Try the traditional pose. Bend down on one
knee, take her hand in yours and ask her to
marry you. The beauty of this gesture is that
it's universally recognized thanks to the
movies, and it can be performed anywhere.
Just note that if there are other people
around, they'll be eavesdropping (kindly!), so
expect their interest and support.
Think about things that might accompany
the occasion, such as a quartet playing a
tune or a serenade, or a tiny fireworks
display, etc. These sorts of extras are not
necessary and they will bloat the budget
unless you've got willing friends to help out,
but if it's your kind of thing, they can add to
the atmosphere.

Hide the ring. This is another popular method
for proposing that requires her to find the
ring, and then you do the proposing. Places
to hide a ring include inside flowers,
chocolates, or a special gift. Be sure to ask
her to open the gift at the time, or you might
be waiting ages! And take great care not to
hide it somewhere that she can accidentally
swallow it; that'll put a big dent in the
occasion.

Be creative. If you're not so traditional or
you're not that keen to say the proposal
yourself, there can be a number of other
ideas for proposing that involve some more
planning but can be really entertaining as
well as confirming for her that you're the
kooky guy she wants to spend the rest of her
life with. You could prepare her very own
word puzzle or crossword in which the final
answer spells "Will you marry me?". Or you
could have a plane write the question across
the sky as the two of you are walking along.
Perhaps use publicity, such as taking out an
advertisement in the paper that you know
she'll read, or getting her favorite radio DJ to
announce the proposal, or place a big banner
with the question on it over a bridge she
drives under every day.


3: Look for a ring.make sure you get the right ring size for her. If
you don't know, get a temporary ring, and then
get another after you propose; for many women,
choosing their own ring is the preferred option.

4: Be dressed in your best according to the
occasion and choice of place . Dress well to be
sure that you're as handsome and attractive as
can be. This is a very special occasion and it
deserves to be "picture perfect". She'll
appreciate the effort you've gone to.
Naturally, this only applies where you're
planning to propose somewhere elegant and
you have time to change beforehand. If
you're proposing on the beach, during a hike,
skiing, or as you're skydiving, use your
common sense about what to wear!

5: Practice. If you're going to propose, it pays to
practice. Practice asking, and practice
explaining the reasons as to why you love her so
much that you want to spend the rest of your
life with her. This will help you avoid being
tongue-tied when the important moment comes
up.
Keep the proposal simple, to the point, and
from the heart. For example: "lisa, I love you
more than words can ever express. You're the
most thoughtful, generous, kind, and
beautiful woman I've ever had the fortune to
know and I'd be honored to have the chance
to spend my life with you. Will you marry
me?"


6: After double-checking everything, go forth
and propose . There is no time like the present
to move on with your carefully thought through
plan. Bring her along to "the place" and start
unfolding your plans. Be sure that you don't give
things away by touching the ring in your pocket
constantly, or saying daft things. Some things to
bear in mind post-proposal:
There may be tears, screaming, or shock.
Don't be fazed, these are fairly standard
reactions, even if she has every clue of what
you're about to do. It's not real to her until
it's done!
If she says yes, end the proposal with a kiss
or a hug.
If she says no, react with understanding and
don't be petulant. She may need time to
think and a memory of your sour face and
grumpy attitude will leave a bad impression
in her mind. Be a gentleman
