Well, first, how do her parents feel about you? It would be a really nice gesture to ask them to dinner - without their daughter - and speak with them about it. Yeah, it's corny - but trust me it will score major brownie points.
Take her to the place where you first met (or first realized you wanted to marry her - that's even better) and tell her that. "Sarah, this place really has special meaning for me - because it was here that I realized I loved you so much that I could envision myself doing anything with you by my side...." or words to that effect. Then say something like, "So I brought you back here to ask you to marry me..."
OK so that may be at the top of a Ferris wheel or deep in a cave or in the laundry mat or some odd place.
The thing is, take her some place meaningful - where you first met, where you fell in love, your first date etc.
And do speak with her parents about it...

The best thing you can do is think about what she loves. You could go to her favorite restaurant (or a romantic one), then afterwards do something that you know she'll love to do. You could set up something in your home, or at a park one evening. Take a blanket and have rose petals sprinkled across it with some tealight candles, and maybe some music playing softly, if possible. Just enjoy being together and let her know how much you love her. I would definitely suggest taking a knee, most girls seem to love it, and it definitely can't hurt! I hope it goes well! Good luck and God Bless you both! :)

I was just coming back from a week's vacation with my family. The day I got back, my fiance invited me over. He had written out a list of all the things he loves about me, which he read aloud (it was 3 pages long!) and then the last line said that he would love if I would let him love those things for forever.
It was very sweet and genuine & that is what I loved most!
He also got me a bouquet of red roses and on the card he wrote "Please say yes". We got a clear glass jar and put all of the rose petals in it with the card, so I will have that memento for a long time. Every time I see it, I can't help but smile.
(And I said yes!)

You know her. We don't. What would she appreciate? Some women want a traditional proposal, given on bended knee. Others prefer something less traditional (on a Ferris wheel, or at a sporting event, for example, where kneeling would be impossible). Some prefer a private proposal, while others want a public one. Some want low-key while others want a big splashy one. Personally, I wanted a private, low-key personal one. I didn't expect him to, but he got down on one knee, which I must admit was a great touch. But, that's me. Think about what your girlfriend would appreciate.

Congrats!! Well, I would take the knee (us girls love that).
I knew someone who sent his girl on a romantic scavenger hunt. It was really cute.
My hubby asked on Christmas night (I know, it sounds a little cliche') but it was great to share the experience with my most loved ones. Some of the older family members got such a kick that they were involved in something so special.
Good Luck!

Yes, take the knee! Make it picture perfect. Have someone ready with a camera or video camera. Make sure you know whether she'd like it to be a private moment or in front of family and friends (or strangers, like at a ball game or in a restaurant.)

I would never have said yes without the knee!
Choose a proposal that is tailored to reflect your relationship. Anybody can toss a ring in a glass of champagne and I would have been seriously dissapointed if my fiancee had done that. I want him to put as much thought into giving me the ring as he did purchasing it and deciding to marry me.
Think too if your girl is private or more public. Some girls would find being asked in a crowded street or in front of family a romantic declaration. Others would get stage fright or feel pressured into their YES. Plus, IMO, you don't want to have to edit her response whether its laughing, crying, or something more physical.

Take her to her fav restraunt. let the hostess know that you are going to propose they can usually help you out with some romantic music or puttin the ring in her glass. And yes get on one knee.
Or
You could set up something romantic at home. Have her come in to rose peddles on the floor leading to her room (or your room depending on whose house it is) and on the bed you could write out marry me in rose peddles and than you can be behind her on ur knee with the ring when she turns around.
