Proposing..How should I do it??

[Ccab]

Publicly or Privately? What do you guys think?

Here are two suggestions I thought of so, you tell me if any of you guys have any suggestions and maybe I will use one of them.

Here's what I've got.

- a week to prepare
- getting the ring soon
- no extra cash


1. Meet her at the airport when she gets back home from California and do it when she walks through the gate.

2. Get in her room while she is gone.. decorate some and have the ring on her bed and have her come home to "WILL YOU MARRY ME" on her wall.


Anyone else have any cool suggestions..keep in mind it can be private or public.

thanks for the input.

I love them both! Good luck!

I always thought that the proposals in a sports arena are great. But I like the second one in her room decorated or you could also take her to her favorite place/restaurant.

Well what is your girl like? Does she like public things or private things?

She enjoys both. But I feel like it would mean more(speaking for myself here) if I did it publicly. But it really doesn't matter.

I think the home thing would work better, and be more cute. But that's my opinion.
Good luck

In answer to your original question, I think in public is sweeter. Make her feel like the most important women in the whole airport. You said she isn't particularly shy or anything. You could always propose to her in the airport, then do her room up all gorgeous and cook for her and stuff when you got back.

Go on a date with her, have the power 'go out' and be holding her hand. When the lights come back on, be on one knee

that's not a bad idea either.

To me, this seems really, really rushed. I read your last post and its updates, and to be honest, it sounds as though you'd both be making this decision on a spur of the moment inability to go without speaking. Your counsellor recommended you both not speak to one another for a week, to have some time to think and sort things out within yourselves (you'll only become a better partner through bettering yourself), yet you both gave in on the first day. This same day, as I understand it, she chose to go off break with you, and you want to propose to her immediately after, or almost immediately after, she proposed a break from your relationship? Honestly, I see this ending in heartbreak. Either she'll say "yes" and it's very likely she'll reconsider later (seeing as she doesn't seem to be sure of what she wants, if even it seems that way now) or you'll scare her off by moving too quickly. At least that's how I'd feel if I were in her position in this particular situation. If you're meant to spend the rest of your lives together, then there should be no rushing it. That's simply my two cents on the issue. In response to the original question, I like Hannah's idea.

You're exactly right. Delete thread please.

Well, i wanted to ask out this one girl, using this method, but this should work for proposements too.

Well, it requires the ring, a box of sweethearts (couting that this is not valentine's season obtainng a box may be diffcult. The romantic effect won't be there but fourtune cookies make a great replacement.

Here's how it works
1.First both of you should be in a comfortable location. And then take them out and put one in your mouth. offer her some and start a light convo while munchin on them
2.After a few minutes, grab a heart and act like your reading it (make sure she cant see the words). Then say(or something like it) "That's cool, this heart says will you marry me"
3.She should say something like "yeah right! its too big too fit"
4.Then say, "yeah i know, but this does" (take out the ring after you say "this does"

Those are all really wonderful ideas guys and maybe someone could put together a sticky..idk?

but turns out it will just be best if I just buy her a big stuffed bear and some gift basket stuff and things like that. I don't want to rush anything too much.

I really like that. And I definitely think she'll appreciate it.

Those are some really neat ideas
