I'm going to take her to a beautiful dinner, so she probably expects me to propse to her. She will be waiting all night and will be disappointed at the end when I don't ask her. Then the next morning when she wakes up I'm going to tell her to come to the balcony on a beautiful sunny day and eat breakfast and then while she is probably sad I will ask her. Is this good?

Yeah this sound great! It will be hard though, good luck trying to hold back. It will be a challenge especially if she is visibly disappointed. Also not sure if your open to any other ideas but here are a few. A friend of mine took his girlfriend on a picnic to their old college campus and had secretly hired a photographer. While they were having their picnic and him proposing they were being photographed "paparazzi" style. It was very creative and awesome since it was all completely documented. Having those pictures was priceless. Also to tweak your idea kinda like the movie serendipity have her wake up to a flower & or note on her pillow. Then have a trail of flowers lead her to the balcony where she will find a large box and of course inside her ring. But of course anything you do will be amazing, good luck & best wishes

No, I don't think it is good. You have the right idea, just not the right circumstance. Do not do it at dinner, that's a good idea. Do not wait until morning, that's a bad idea. Maybe take her to dinner, then for a walk on the beach or in a park, then go for ice cream. Make her wait, anticipation is good. Go to a hotel afterward & have a ring waiting (on a special pillow you have previously bought), with a little note saying how much you love her & want every night to be as beautiful as this one was....when she is reading the note get down on one knee & ask her officially!
That she will love.
Good Luck!!!

My now fiance kinda propose like that. We went downtown for a really nice dinner, and I guess I kinda thought maybe something would happen, but nope.... nothing. I thought maybe I just had the wrong idea, and I was disapointed. We got back to his place and I was to spend the night. We sat around outside for a few hours talking, by this time - it around 2:30am. So I'm in pajamas by this time, hair all up, ready for bed really. We got into bed, and he had his bedside lamp on, we talked a little more - about life and things we wanted. Kind of out of sort talk, but I figured nothing of it, I thought he would have done something at dinner if that was his intent. I was facing away from him in bed as we talked, and as we were talking about being together, and having children some day - all of a sudden there was a ring infront of me. I was shocked when he asked me, and I said, no, lol. I still kinda thought he was joking, even tho I saw the ring. He asked again, and I said no again laughing a bit in disbelief, he had to ask a third time before I said yes.
So it all turned out, but still - I told him he was bad for doing all that that night.

Hmm... this is a tough one. Personally, I think it is not a good idea to purposely make her feel sad or disappointed before proposing. I realize what your intentions are and that you want to surprise her, but that would not make me happy.
Ever see the movie Stepmom? There is a proposal scene in that movie that I think is the most unique and genuine marriage proposal I have ever seen, and that is the whole point of the whole proposal buildup. It is supposed to come from the heart and be meaningful - not just "hey we're getting hitched," which most guys end up doing. You already seem to have an idea of how you want to propose, maybe you should just build on that a little bit more.
Just a few suggestions:
(1) Avoid using pet names like "honey, babe, sweetie, muffin, cupcake, hotass," etc. Use her real name, it is just classier. A girlfriend of mine was proposed to in all the right ways EXCEPT when her boyfriend popped the question, he said "Babe.. will ya?" And it kinda killed it. She said yes anyway, but still...
(2) Make sure you have clothes on. Everyone is going to ask how you proposed and you don't want to have to lie about it, or embarress yourselves.
(3) Make it special to the both of you - not cliche, not what someone described as "THE" perfect proposal - make it personal to you and your relationship with her. It will be a moment neither of you will ever forget.
(4) Bring a camera if you can, take a picture of both of you if you can right after proposing.
Good luck, I hope she says yes!

No. Ask her before dinner, away from everyone. It will totally throw her for a loop because she won't be expecting it. Then she can be happy and excited all throughout the night and you both can enjoy the moment for a longer time. My fiancee asked me to marry him with no one around, in a beautiful park when we were taking the dog for a walk. It was so romantic and intimate, and that's what women want.

yes i think that is sweet but you should get up a little bit before sunrise, set up the balcony with rose petals/roses, and lots of lit candles, then wake her up and tell her you wanna watch the sunrise, or tell her it is a beautiful morning, and you wanna enjoy it with her company. Take her ion the balcony and let her see the beautifulness you have created, kinda stand behind her, and while she is breathless from the ambiance, get on one knee so when she turns around you have the ring and are proposing.......I personally would love it!!

It is a good set-up. The anticipation factor is great and I know most women would agree that a surprise proposal vs one you expect is (although a bit nervewracking), a much better story.
I would have the ring handy at dinner though just incase she got upset. Depending on how long she has been 'waiting', her disappointment could get the better of her.
Good luck!

My dream wedding ceremony could be unfastened. heavily, I definitely have seen such diverse wedding ceremony the place people remortgage their living house, or the mum and dad bypass broke over procuring some little females delusion, that i don't see the element. Its basically at some point, and to waste thousands and thousands of greenbacks on something that's over in a rely of hours looks ridiculous. i exchange into by no skill one to fantasize approximately weddings, nevertheless, and by no skill had to get married for that rely. I only wasn't that form of lady. yet, as quickly as I did get married, we did a trip spot wedding ceremony. basically our closest associates and family members have been invited. the money we saved from blowing it on an costly wedding ceremony, we bought a house. a house lasts plenty longer than at some point, and it exchange into something we ought to relish for something of our lives. the marriage is plenty greater significant then the marriage for my area. Oh, and as some distance simply by fact the assumption? I asked him.

the balcony part sounds fine. just don't like the night before. i would get really really really really mad!!!!!! Try not to make it so obvious!!
My math teacher asked his wife (now she is) after a song that he made for her. It was really romantic. Or take her to a hotel/spa without you, and when she comes to her hotel room, like hide in the closet or something, and when she comes in the there will be a note on her pillow saying "turn around" and there you will be with the ring, and then she will say "YES!"

It sounds okay, but still cruel. Depending on the girl she could either love that or absolutely hate it. She could possibly think that you had never had that planned but realized that she was sad and that is what she wanted to happen and that is why you did it the next morning. She is, of course, not my girl, so I have no clue how she reacts to different types of suspense, but do keep this in mind.
