You should have replied "if you said no I would've just pushed you off," and proceed to laugh hysterically.
On a related note, my ideal proposal would be on a balcony, with her and a bottle of wine, enjoying the silence of each other's company. Then I'd casually ask "wanna get married?."
I proposed to her in broken Korean. It was pretty lame because she couldn't even understand my Korean so I just said fuck it and told her in English.
She's still mad at me after our marriage because she said the proposal was retarded. I kind of agree it wasn't really romantic. I did it at a Korean BBQ joint and I didn't even have a ring. (I'm a broke bastard at the moment)
So now she's using my mom's old ring (my dad bought my mom a new one), but it's too big for her finger. My mom said I could go re-size the ring, but I'm just going to save up and buy her a nice wedding ring later on.
Maybe when I have some moolah I'll surprise her with a nice marriage anniversary party or something.

That's fucking sad man.
lol I'm definitely no Don Juan. She shed a couple tears and said yes. I mean I caught her off surprise and she had to catch her breath because it came out of nowhere. I agree though I'm an asshole.

I mean check this guy out:
Oh my God, that guy has got to be scarred for life.
I don't understand the appeal or reasoning for guys to ask in public. Personally I'd do it in private, even if I knew the answer would be a yes. Although everyone who's mentioning trails of petals etc etc, doesn't that just come across as really cheesy?
I'd buy a can of Bear Semen energy drink, drink the whole can, and put the ring in the can. This probably belongs in the high thread, but I'm actually not high/drunk
Well, I go to Texas A&M, and if you know anything about my school, you know that we love our traditions. Well, one of those is the Century Tree. As the tradition goes, if you walk under it with your true love, you'll be with that person forever. (It also says if you walk under it alone, you'll be Forever Alone, but that's beside the point) So if I get engaged while I'm still in school, I'd probably take her on a walk on campus, make some joke about how we should go under the tree, have her sit down on the bench they have set up under the tree, and go from there.

Lol, that wasn't the proposal. That was a picture taken after the fact

Guess i was just giving him too much credit lol.
Edit: damn i should have known that too, ...Space Mountain is the darkest roller-coaster experience there is, there's no way she would have noticed him and the ring that fast.
I would do something really annoying that she knows I do heaps but also it's something that pisses her off. And somehow tie in a proposal, i think it would be really romantic considering i'm trusting that my most annoying features and habbits still attract her.

There's also a high probability the ride's fast speed would whip the ring out of his hands as he was nervously fumbling to get it out and present it.

Oh no you didn't.
Our boy from these very forums.
Anyway, do something else that no one else would do and like others have said. I wouldn't turn it into a scene with a lot of other people there (unless you are 99.9% certain of the answer and she's that kind of girl).
100% would be private; I could never imagine doing it in a public place.
I'd probably only propose if the hypothetical girl and I are planning on having children (or to save money on taxes). I'd kind of model it like a family friend my parents know--they were together for a long time (like 10 years), lived together for probably at least 5 years, etc etc, and he eventually just asked her to marry him at some really nice scenic place they liked to go to. They've subsequently had (2, maybe 3) children iirc.
No real proposal for me. Just spoke about it, planned it and done it. Not saying there was no emotion or passion, but there you go.
Anyway, getting married in China is just something you do. There Is No Alternative. Women really into soap opera tend to seek a real proposal though, the american way.
Hopefully I marry a nerd that appreciates Sc2. So in a dream scenario, I would propose to my wife at an MLG during a match. It would be Idra v MC and when Idra lost, instead of gging he would type "will you marry X" and I would fall to my knee and give her the ring.
