I would think that the fact that you are simply asking him is a really great thing. Personally I would think that it would be a better idea to ask him in person just because your emotion, sincerity, and intent are going to be more heart felt and sincere in person. I assume that you have been planning this for awhile so is this a waiting till the last minute thing? To keep it from seeming like that I would def. make the drive; I think it would be worth it for her parents to know your dedication and for her to know what you went through to ask her father. What is a simple three hour drive to start the rest of your life?
If you are definitely against driving, I would think that over the phone is definitely better than nothing.
PS. Just make sure you call ahead, haha.

I believe the best thing to do is to just wait until you can ask them in person, what is he going to think if you do it over the phone. Perhaps he will think that you don't take something like marriage too seriously to go talk to him in person, try to find time. Good luck!

Proper way is face to face or he may think you don't have the guts to ask him. Think if it was your daughter (may well happen to you) would you like some guy calling you to ask for you prescious little girls hand? You'd think he was pretty spinless right?
Go the distance man. She's worth it and you need to have your in-laws liking you because one they they will be family.... Free hint: . Never, ever let him see you horizontal. Always be doing something, anything and enjoy it. It will make a huge difference in your family affairs and also in your marriage.
Good luck , and best wishes guy!

Times have changed. Over the phone should be appropriate, however, followed by a weekend with the soon to be in-laws would be nice.

You don't think marriage is worth a three hour drive? That is the sort of thing you do face to face, and its way old fashioned, first I would make sure the woman would say yes.

I would ask him in person since that is the proper way to do it. Just take a weekend off and ask him in person. She's worth it, isn't she?

Wait and ask in person. Shows respect face to face is very powerful & personal.

enable the youngsters understand first. the marriage is going to electrify them extra then the mother and dad. At this element who incredibly cares what her mum and dad think of. you like one yet another, so get married. the two you and your female buddy can take a seat down together with her mum and dad and tell them you have plans to marry.

yes, but explain why you need to ask over the phone and not in person, this shows that if they did live closer you would ask in person, it will show great respect... good luck
