How to ask her Mom when your far away?

Question

Hello, I've been raised that you always ask the parents permission before asking a girl to marry you. Which I plan on doing. However I can't figure out how to ask her mom (Shes divorced and on bad terms with the father) because we are away in college a good 700+ miles away. We've dated for 3 years and I've spent a lot of time with her mom, and she knows me pretty well. But how am I supposed to ask her? Theres no possible way I can drive/fly because of school and money. would asking her on the phone be okay? Or should I find out away to get up there and ask in person... I've already got the ring picked out, and how I want to ask (going to slip the ring on while shes asleep) so needless to say I want to ask her before winter is over (we both think its more romantic then spring/summer) Yet at the same time I don't want to do it with out talking to her mom first. any advice would be very appreciated

Answer 1

Go ahead and ask her over the phone, let her know you would have preferred to do it in person. Good luck and God bless.

Answer 2

Is there any way you can call & talk to her mom & plan to have her on 3-way or speakerphome? or video tape it when you "pop" the question? or what about involving mom in the planning?... You sound like a good man, I hope it all works out for you honey. Good Luck! I'm sure you'll have mom's blessings, and she'll respect you for asking her to help/ or just for asking period! may all your plans/dreams come true. Love,
A Hopeless romantic...(and a mom ;-)

Answer 3

call her... my now fiance' and I don't live near my parents and when he got the urge, he just called and talked to my dad about it. I'm sure she will be happy for you and understand why you couldn't do it in person. I wish you the best of luck, be prepared for tears.. because I bawled my eyes out! =)

Answer 4

Call her on the phone. Tell her that you hope to meet her soon but you can't arrange it right now. She will appreciate it very much.
