i have decided to leave a note for g/f in the morning before i go to work saying how much i love her (i leave a small note every morning). i will ensure i finish work early and go to the supermarket where she is a supervisor. i want someone to call her to the back end checkouts over the tannoy saying it is for a customer enquiry. when she gets there i will get down on one knee with a big bunch of flowers and diamond ring and ask her to mary me infront of all her colleagues. do you think this is a good idea?

HOWEVER YOU DO THIS, YOU ONLY GET TO DO IT ONCE, SO MAKE IT A GOOD PROPOSAL. ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE SAYS YES (AND SHE'D BETTER), SHE IS GOING TO REMEMBER THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES TOGETHER.

If she is a private person, or even if she doesn't really like her co-workers too much, it might not be a good idea to do it at her job, plus the embarassment of doing it in public might overirde the feeling you want her to have: HAPPINESS.

Also, personally, if I were proposed to while I was in my work clothes/uniform....i would feel totally un sexy and not hot. If she is cool with her co-workers and doesn't embarass easily then go for it, but I am sure that when it comes down to it, in the end, she will be so happy and glowing whether she felt embarassed or not.

Congrats on your commitment and have a great V-day with your fiancee!

While I commend your desire to make it memorable, I think it might be better to choose a location, or an activity, that is significant to both of you and your relationship. Perhaps it may be a park where you and she always walk, a restaurant you both patronize, or the concert of a performer you both enjoy. And it would be great if you might have someone on the sidelines who can videotape and/or photograph the event for you. And you may also want to have close family members and friends present. It would mean more to her to have these people, rather than, or in addition to strangers or coworkers present when you ask her. If you're also traditional, you may wish to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, or ask for their blessings, and you may also want to get down on one knee. Think about what she means to you and how she enhances your life, tell her, and then follow it up with the all important question. Remember to include some of her favorite items: music, chocolates, meal, flowers, etc. PS. if you haven't already purchased the ring, you may want to get an idea of the color setting she may want, the cut of the diamond, and other details she may want in her ring. You wouldn't want her to be disappointed, and have to pretend that she likes it when she doesn't. After all, she will be wearing it the rest of her life, so try to get the best you can afford of what she'll like. Once you have an idea of what she wants, do some homework on the internet and by asking jewelers about diamonds. Try to view the stone loose under a gemscope, or at least with a loupe. Some items to consider: cut, color, clarity, carat, certification, cost, width to length ratio, girdle thickness, flouresence, culet, table percentage, crown percentage, depth percentage, polish, symmetry. Each of these factors play into the quality and value of the diamond. Also consider if she just wants a plain band, side stones, matching wedding band, etc. I realize I've given you alot of information, but I've learned that you have to do your homework, after all, the rings may be your second largest expense, after the wedding.

Although the sentiment is sweet, proposing in a public place usually 'forces' someone to say yes. If it were me, I'd want a more private proposal, something just for the two of us...if you leave a note every morning...why not go into work late (and don't tell her) and leave a note asking her to marry you, but be waiting outside the door to go back in with ring.

I think that's sweet... follow it up with a romantic dinner out to give it some balance.

The only reason I would naysay the idea would be if she HATED her job and/or coworkers or if she is super shy and hates to be the center of attention.

Whatever you choose, good luck!

brave, and very cool idea
PS- it would also be a good idea if you have a camera/ video tape for later to remember the memory. Also invite her best friend, sis.,bro., she would probably want those ppl there to see it happen and plan a cute dinner/ date for after you purpose.
if you are going to purpose make the evening romantic...
try saying something like....
A dozen bright red roses,
a cup of romantic quotes,
a whole heart for passion,
a pinch of lust,
a pinch of spice,
a brick of gold for pureness,
a bucket of diamonds for a rich soul,
and me for eternal happiness,
and that is the recipe for LOVE.
so... Will you marry me?????

see something easy like that.
but I am sure she will love whatever you say...
good luck!!!!!!

If she is a shy, quiet person, probably not. But if she is outgoing and enjoys surprises, then I think it is a great idea. Not to mention romantic!!! Good Luck and Congratulations!

I won't do a proposal at the place where she works. There is nothing romantic or special about that. Plus, does she really want her personal life coming so close to her work life, probably not.

AWWW how romantic. You should go for it. I wish I was a fly on the wall to see her face. Good luck. I hope she says yes.

That sounds cool. Your a good guy. Never let that flame die...
Do it over the PA system at her work... maybe sing her a song then ask her. What ever you do she will love it. Happy Valentine's Day... it's your day!!!!!
