LOL well played.

Le GF was bugging me about proposing forever, but I wanted to do it on my own time so I had to keep fending her off which would only serve to piss her off every time we talked about it.
I made up some elaborate lie about fighting with my mom one weekend when we were supposed to go up to the cottage alone so she wouldn't suspect (I know that doesn't make a lot of sense but the full story takes too long). She got really pissed at me.

Spent all night making scrapbook w/poetry and other such romantic things.

Took her out on the dock at the cottage where we spent a lot of our first summer together (and one of my favourite pics of her was taken), gave her scrapbook/poetry thing, last page was pic of me on one knee with ring, she looks up, sees me on one knee with ring.

GG.


Seriously, well played

When I do it, it'll be somewhere romantic with all that lovey dovey stuff too. That's the kind of guy I am, and that's the kind of relationship I'm in. Some people like that; some people don't.

Nicely done inConroL . How'd did he manage to pull that off though? The Space Mountain ride is pitch black throughout, except for the flash in the middle of the ride to snap the picture. I don't see how he could pull out the ring and have her notice it in time for the flash to go off, unless that was a picture from the beginning or end of the ride. Either way, that's an awesome way to propose.

As for me, I haven't thought about it. I'm only 21, so I have plenty of time to ponder how, I hope. It would probably involve a special place between the two of us though.

I think it's disrespectful to propose around people. It just puts her in a really awkward position if she wants to say no or is unsure. Anyway, what's the point of doing these crazy stuff? I mean, I wouldn't propose if I wasn't sure she would say yes, so it's not like I would have to impress her. I would rather propose during a quiet night at home, if I was really feeling it.

There's nothing wrong with being romantic, but you should strive for that on most days, not only the day when you propose.

It depends very largely on the people involved. It should be in a way which somehow relates to your relationship. For instance, if you are both sports enthusiasts, then proposing at a sporting event could be very meaningful (and epic). If she's an introvert, having a nice dinner at home and doing it can be touching.

I met my wife at a summer camp where we were both staff. A year later we met again and started dating at that camp. So, two years later, I drove her out there in the middle of winter and proposed to her there; we, of course, had the ceremony in that same place.

It was, in my opinion, the perfect place to propose to her; but I wouldn't suggest it was a perfect place to propose for anyone else.

The picture looks staged... I'm pretty sure the actual proposal came before that

Of the top of my head the best i can think of is during one of the meteor showers (prefferably the one in august or december as they are the best) the tricky part is hoping for good weather. So i guess its not the best way because besides getting rejected theres a ton of other things that can go wrong.

I dunno everyone has their own way of doing things. Theres no right or wrong way to propose, there is simple and there are more elaborate ways to propose but at the end of the day its just a matter of yes or no.

Perhaps, but if you've ever seen those Flash Mob Proposals... they're like mind-blowingly romantic and over-the-top girl-can't-say-no-even-if-she's-never-met-you-before and ridiculous as all hell. They're fucking awesome haha and you, as the guy, pretty much auto-win at life.

I also totally agree with you that you should be romantic all the time (or, at least, often) and not just during your proposal.

Why try so hard? The thought of planning a proposal just feels dishonest to me. I'm all for taking advantage of romantic opportunities though. Like let's say you're on a vacation, and you've already thought about it for a while. The reason why women say that they want it to be extravagant is because they want to have something to brag about with their girlfriends, but deep down they don't really care. Well some might do, but if it's so important for her to have a extravagant proposal I wouldn't want to marry her anyway.

my wife and I got married 59 days after starting to date... I proposed maybe a month before that. I had just a ton of shit relationships with dumb, dumb, hot but stab myself in the eyes stupid, chicks and I found a keeper, beautiful, smart, the works... my words... "we're gonna do it eventually anyway... wanna just go get hitched?" Five plus years and two awesome kids later and still going awesome... maybe I lack on class, but gotta admit its not exactly a normal proposal either

I tried to propose in a romantic restaurant overlooking Niagara Falls, and she told me to put it away. She didn't want to cry in public.

My wife and I were friends for four years through school, then online / Skype. We got married having only physically been together for 11 days. I proposed to her on top of a mountain in the middle of a freak storm (freezing rain, extremely cold, etc.) -- she said yes, so it must not have been that bad.

...We had talked about it a lot beforehand anyway; we went from 'friends' to 'married'.

I'd leave the ring inside a bread loaf and ask her to make me a sandwich. Both as a final test, and a warning that her life would forever be steeped in irony.
Yeah, this is how we're gonna start our lives as equals. Deal with it honey.

I know exactly how I would to my current gf if I was gonna, but won't post it here on the off chance she randomly decides to start checking TL (she knows my ID )

Absolutely no idea where, though. Somewhere nice, I guess.
