Please suggest me the best way to propose to my girl friend. (Only serious answers please. This ain't a joke)

Answer 1

Ohhh this will take a long long time...I have tons of suggestions from my own experience to what I have heard from girlfriends...so here it goes:

1. Take your girlfriend on a balloon ride, at the end of the ride have a picnic and ask her to marry you.
2. Make a video with photos of the two of you from when you started dating upto today and at the end of it write: How about a lifetime together?
3. Propose using a fortune cookie (my husband did this). Insert a paper that says something like: You have to say yes to the next question someone asks you, have dinner at home or at your favorite chinese place and when the cookies come, give her that one and tell her to read it out loud, then you ask her: Do you want to marry me? sooooo cool.
4. Have a romantic dinner by the sea, when dessert comes have the waiter serve the ring instead, and ask her.
5. If you have the budget, go to Paris, climb the Eiffel Tower and once you are at the top, ask her to marry you.
6. Hire a mime, tell him to kneel down and do the whole thing, and when your girlfriend gets annoyed just tell her, what the poor guy wants to know is if you will marry me?
7. Buy a dog, and on the name tag write: Would you please marry my owner?


You are the one who knows her best, think about what she loves, and picture it in your mind. The only thing I can tell you is she will never forget it and it will be special no matter what you decide, so complex or simple, she will love it. Good luck!

Answer 2

I would propose to her somewhere that has a lot of meaning to the both of you. Do you have a favorite restaurant? Maybe a stroll around the lake at the local park while feeding the geese? Maybe sightseeing by horsedrawn carriage (Kansas City, MO. plaza area when the Christmas lights are on). Either way, try not to rehearse beforehand. Let what you are saying and feeling come from your heart. This will mean more to her than any scripted proposal possible. My husband proposed to me 11 years ago in the kitchen of his parents house while I was trying to prepare snacks on new years eve. He made it extra special by using a cheap ring out of one of those kiddie vending machines as he wanted to use his mother's wedding set and didn't know my ring size. I guess he wanted to make sure that I would say yes before he had it resized. Here it it, 10 years later, and I still have that ugly looking, cheap ring in my jewelry box like it was the most expensive gem that I own. I would take her somewhere that has some meaning or signifigance for the two of you. My hubby and I recently renewed our wedding vows in a period civil War ceremony under the tree at the local where we first met each other. If that tree were to be removed, it would take so many memories with it. You don't have to be extravagant with how you propose, but try to do it somewhere that will leave memories of a lifetime. Trust me, my in-laws kitchen still does.

Answer 3

Have her friends arrange a "girls day," at the spa, hair, etc. Let her get dolled-up for the night.

Go out to dinner, then for a drive. Pretend to run out of gas down a road... where you've left candles, wine, some chocolate, a blanket, etc.

At this point she'll know what's up (probably), and then you tell her you love her and propose.


Another suggestion is to go out to a nice restaurant, and have the staff made aware of what's happening. Ask them to bring dessert out on the tray... and have it in the one piece right in the middle.


I had a friend who took his girlfriend to his little brother's high school football game. At half-time, the band played a song, and then the announcer said "this is for Alicia." He took her out on the field, and proposed right there. (Cheesey, but they went to the same high school).


A scavenger hunt is cool... especially if you aren't the one who organized it (although you're still behind it). Have all your friends try to find the prize... and the prize be the engagement ring.


DO NOT PROPOSE IN A BAR!!! Seen it, and it sucked.

Answer 4

There's so many ways, it depends on you and her. If you live near the mountains or beach and you or her enjoy those places then do it there. Or if you want something more private and intimate then set up something at home, like a romantic dinner. Or choose somewhere that's significant to you both. My husband never formally proposed to me it just came up as a subject one day and then we went and look at rings, but I wished I had more of a meaningful or romantic proposal. If you know your girlfriend likes romance then do something romantic or if she's adventurous then do something more outgoing like the top of a mountain or something. It just depends.

Answer 5

the best proposals are when its very intimate and unexpected.

my fiance proposed to mein a great way. my laptop was on the floor and i had asked him to come look at it. he was on one knee the whole time and i didnt even know. it was very romantic and intimate...everytime im on my laptop i think og that moment.

i think big public engagements are overrated. its about doing somethign thats special to you and your lady. like....
if she likes teddy bears, find a bear thats wearign a shirt with a pocket. put the rign in the lil pocket and safety pin it to the inside, give her the bear and tell her something cute like i think i left the price tag in there and have her go to pull it out and shell find the ring. OR make dinner and when you servie it to her put the ring on her platte as a garnish.

tell her how you feel - be honest and make sure you let her know why you want her as your wife, not just because you love her.

i'm sure she'll say yes if you put your mind to it and think of siomething memorable.

Answer 6

It depends on you and her.

For me, I want something kind of kitchy and fun. I am not a die-hard romantic... and trying too hard that way would irk me.

I want my b/f to take me to Disneyworld (I used to work there.) and propose to me under the fireworks (I also love fireworks.) at illuminations (at EPCOT).

That would be my ideal, but everyone is different.

What does your girl like? Is there something special you always do or always go to? Where did you have your first date, etc?

I can tell you that you need to be ORIGINAL. Putting the ring in her dessert is so cliche. Do something that could only be done for her.

Good Luck. LK

Answer 7

Be sincere, that does not usually mean finding a plane to do it in skywriting or having some huge football TV focused in on you or plastering it on a billboard either. Sincere can be as easy as dressing up for a very fancy dinner, taking her to a special place you two share (first date location maybe?) giving her a single long stemmed rose with the ring tied to it with a ribbon while you are down on one knee asking her to marry you. :)
Good Luck - I am sure she will love ANYTHING that you decide is right.

Answer 8

OK no joking around, Take her to your most open area restaurant(I mean one that everyone can see what your about to do) tell her parents to be there and yours as well( but hidden from your view)then get the waiter or waitress to help with a cake(say its for your anniversary they'll help that way) place the ring on the cake piece that YOU cut for her and hand it to her with flowers as well by then you guy's parents should be coming to the table to see whats going on and they can wittiness the whole thing too.(don't forget to ask her dad be for you do this it's only right ...and it will get you points in his book too) Good luck.

Answer 9

If I were you...I would go somewhere private, tell her how you feel about her, get down on your knee and ask her! Maybe have something set up before hand, like candles, a picnic, whatever! Or if you want to do it infront of people...you could go to your favorite restaurant, (set this up ahead of time) and order champagne, and have the ring in the glass and see how long it takes her to notice...when she does, get down on your knee!
I hope this helps! I know what a stressful time this is for you guys!
Good Luck!

Answer 10

I have no thought because it is not in any respect something i've got thought approximately. yet - my close pal is getting married next 365 days and that's the main romantic element i ought to ever think of off. She has constantly had to get married, he constantly mentioned 'no longer yet' and she or he on no account, ever pushed it. Then after 3yrs residing mutually, he secretly asked her dad for permission, offered the appropriate ring, took her out for dinner the place there have been roses already waiting for her and asked her to marry him. the subsequent morning, she awakened to discover he grew to become into making breakfast and there grew to become right into a single rose and a word on the pillow to assert he grew to become into finding forward to the remainder of their lives mutually. it is so appropriate - because of the fact it acceptable THEM, their historic previous and the means for their destiny. i'm so delighted for them the two because of the fact greater suitable than something, even although the thought grew to become into appropriate, i in my view have self belief that their marriage would be existence. Soppy me lol!
