This got me thinking about how crazy some proposals are. I've heard many stories and seen all kinds of pictures/videos of weird and wonderful ways to propose. Personally I am very old fashioned in many of my lifestyles, as such my proposal would be a very Romantic evening out sort of thing. Maybe on a Holiday to somewhere scenic and beautiful.
So Ladies and Gentlemen of Team Liquid. How would you propose to your partner? Also if anyone has already proposed or been proposed to, share the stories!
Lastly, Congratulations to Geoff and Anna. I hope you have an amazing Wedding and Life together.
Wouldn't want to get a no or force someone to give a no in a public place. Also, I don't feel you need to have strangers be present at such a private moment.
So most likely I would take her out, then go home. Then I would have asked a friend to make my house cliché romantic whilst we were eating, and then ask her there.
proposed to my GF last June, we're getting married this June. We've been together for 11 years now (i'm 32) and the time " felt right "
Sank to the knees while we were on a holiday trip to turkey. Was on a pier at the beach after we had dinner in the evening. There was no one around since it was late so the setting was quite nice.
she did not see it comming at all , neither did her parents when i went asking for her hand , old fashioned style.
Was a good day and i'm very much looking forward to it.

Awesome. A quiet place with a naturally beautiful setting. Sea-side and a Sunset. Very nicely done, congratulations.
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.
Nicely done. Got to admit I don't think I'd want to propose if my GF was asking me to. Lol.
The dude in the background to the left is like "Whatever, man." while the girl behind Geoff is throwing an uppercut to her own chin and the guy behind her knows what "'s up, son".
I don't know how I'd propose, actually. Gotta think about that. Maybe she'd propose to me first. :o
I proposed to my girlfriend last spring. We were in Korea together with my parents (so they could meet her parents, she's korean), at the moment we were in a hotel in Sokcho. It was the day after my parents anniversery and we went to Seoraksan. After going there and eating dinner nearby, my parents wanted to relax at the hotel, so me and my girlfriend went by outselves in her car to look at some temples and such in the area. After looking at a really nice temple by the ocean, sitting on a hill looking at the sun setting over Seoraksan, I randomly decided to propose. I really had no intention of doing so before hand, so I unfortunately had nothing prepared, including a ring, but the situation was just too perfect to pass up.
I would definitely be more traditional. I would also never do it in a public forum because, as someone mentioned before, I wouldn't want to add any extra pressure to the situation.
I proposed at the end of last year, it was at home after my gf finished work so she would not suspect, there was a trial of rose petals from the front door to where I was, with the ring, flowers, champagne and chocolates. It was quite simple, but romantic and was successful thankfully.
Great picture of Geoff and Anna, they both look really happy. Congrats.
By the time I'm going to propose, I should know exactly what my woman likes, in which case I will do something revolving around those ideas. Great night -> Romantic setting -> proposal.
Couldn't do it in public, for one, it seems unnecessary to put her under so much pressure for a very important decision, not my kind of stuff., I don't want to force her to marry me, or get turned down in front of people like Mr. NBA.

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 think it depends upon the girl. My gf had been wanting to get married for quite some time before I asked her, and we spoke about it a lot, as marriage had never been super important to me. The way she explained it to me was that it was a public statement of dedication, to show friends and family that we were going to be forever. I don't think I had understood the extent to which girls focus on getting married, almost every time she would see a friend which she had not seen recently, they would ask when was I going to pop the question.
In most cases, I don't think anything you do will be considered cheesy, but will be seen as romantic. I think you wan't to make a statement, and show that being over the top romantic id something you're willing to do for her.
All I can suggest is not to do a joke-ish type proposal, crappy ring box etc.
Probably most women don't think like this, I don't know, but I abhor traditional romantic things. As in, it actually elicits very strong feelings of disgust. Not sure why. There's been a couple of moments in my life that I thought would have been perfect for a proposal. The common denominator for me was nature- something beautiful to look at I guess.
Standing on a roof in the snow looking out over the city. Lying on top of a car looking at the stars in the countryside. Watching a thunderstorm from the 21st floor through floor to ceiling windows. At the beach at 2 am with a full moon.
Anyway, none of that getting down on one knee crap for me. In my perfect world a proposal would be a long period of sitting and enjoying where we were in quiet, and then: "Let's get married." And I'd say "ok" and we'd go home and go to bed happy.

I wish my girlfriend shared your opinion since that's exactly how my proposal was.
My girlfriend was very happy, she has still said we have to do it again in a more spectacular fashion

This. If she wants to, she asks and then it's ok (or not).
Are you kidding me? I guess you haven't found the right one then. I'd have no problem marrying my girl. Heck, I've even asked if she's expecting me to propose since we've been together for 6½years. She isn't expecting anything though.
I made a scavenger hunt for my wife; I knocked on the door, and when she opened it there was a chocolate egg with the first clue inside. Each clue led to another clue hidden along the banks of the Rhine (we lived in Bonn at the time) and was somehow related to an experience we'd had together, and the final clue led her to me, with suit and flowers, waiting to propose to her.
It went over very well. She actually just put the egg in the fridge initially, so it could have been a disaster, but then she went looking around the apartment building for me thinking I was hiding somewhere and found the second clue by sheer luck. She didn't find the first clue until we actually got back home after I proposed.
I would definitely be more traditional. I would also never do it in a public forum because, as someone mentioned before, I wouldn't want to add any extra pressure to the situation.
Ouch... can't say I feel sorry for him though. Proposing to a woman at a basketball game? With air horns going off? Bit stupid tbh. Yea public is out of the question. Relationships are very personal, you both need to be alone for something like this imho. I also wouldnt want any pressure on her and also, due to me wanting it in a place of natural beauty, you dont want background people noises. Just you, her, the ring and a beautiful setting.
My wife and I just discussed that it would be a good time to get married a few years ago. Makes much more sense than a proposal, where you push a life-changing decision into a spur of the moment thing as the other party has to immediately give an answer (because "i don't know yet" is almost as bad as a "no"). So at some point we just decided it was time.
Of course, before we told that to everyone else, I managed to surprise her by making my WoW character /kneel before hers, open a trade window and traded a ring with flavour text "Will you marry me?" to her (http://www.wowhead.com/item=7340).

I guess usually when you wanna propose, you should have discussed the possibility with your significant other. You want to at least know where you stand with the person. Just cos she/he knows you plan to marry them one day, doesn't mean she won't be surprised when or how you ask. I hope this thread fills up a bit more, I'm looking for ideas I really like the scavenger hunt one though
I decided several years ago that I would want to propose at the fountain in front of the Pantheon in Rome, preferably at night. If you have been there at night, you might understand why.
It has additional meaning with the GF I am with now, but even if it isn't her, I think I'd still like to do it there. It is somewhat public, but you could do it fairly privately, as there are a lot of things going on there at once, you wouldn't necessarily be the center of attention.

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.
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

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.

Seriously though, I've thought of the most rediculously elaborate ploys, but reading this thread has made me come to the conclusion that perhaps privately is the best bet.
Doing it privately and originally is the best way to go imho, if you find a girl who deserves it of course. It's a moment you'll be talking about for the rest of your lives (if things go well), so why not make it perfect?

I'm guessing she doesn't realize it until they go to look at the picture afterwards... proposing on roller coaster rides like Space Mountain have been done before!
In the warm sea after going for a little midnight swim, down on one knee in the sand. My (now) wife is a jeweller and had some very specific desires for her ring, so I already knew I didn't need to buy a ring (just a shopping list of materials), which is good as I'd never had done that if I'd had to take that out swimming with me.
id never do it in public, like that guy at the basketball game everyone feels sorry for him, but thats a massive amount of pressure put on her, im glad she had the balls to say no. i wonder how many women say yes just becuase they were asked somewhere like that and didnt wanna say no

that's what I was thinking.. and then 6 months down the road you get a divorce. Yay.
I'll do it in a place we've never been before like in a vacation in Iceland or something or Paris on the top of the Eiffel tower - yes it'll be expensive. I think it's important to make a very special memory in a very difficult to access place to make it more unique to the two of you. But taht's just me.
Space mountain is awesome though, loved that ride when I was a kid XD

This, I don't ever plan on getting married as there's no real benefit to getting married. There's only negative effects.
What are the negative effects which don't count for a defacto relationship?
Divorces can often result in men getting financially buttfucked for decades by the court system. At least in the States.
That being said, I still would like to get married someday. It's just a decision I won't make quickly or carelessly. As for proposing, that's something I would only to in private. I'm not even a big fan of PDAs because I remember how uncomfortable they made me when I was still single and around some of my friends that were married. I'm not saying I act like an iceman around my girlfriend in public, but I don't get too cuddly/kissy either. An event as personal as a marriage proposal isn't something I'd want strangers to be privy to either.
Wouldn't want to get a no or force someone to give a no in a public place. Also, I don't feel you need to have strangers be present at such a private moment.
So most likely I would take her out, then go home. Then I would have asked a friend to make my house cliché romantic whilst we were eating, and then ask her there.
This. Actually, I am proposing this upcoming weekend and rather than just utterly surprise my gf, we did a lot of talking about it. She wanted a more private and personal proposal, so I am taking her out to eat and then having some nice romantic time with her at her apartment, and then I will propose to her. I am super excited to be putting a ring on her hand because I already know she is going to say yes .
To all you nerds saying 'marriage is for women' and 'i'll never get married', I just have to chuckle. You just haven't met the right one yet. Once you do, it's a no-brainer. All other women become inconsequential and you can't imagine spending your life with anyone else. By the way, if you DONT feel this way about your woman, that is a big red flag.
I proposed to mine on a cruise ship, it was the best night of our lives. If you are ever going to put any effort into a single romantic night in your life, your marriage proposal is it. It is something that you will hear about from your wife long after you have forgotten the details (she won't, trust me), so make it fantastic.

Congrats man, way to go... it sounds like you two will be very happy. And yes, a smart man will propose only after he is sure she is going to say yes
By the way, you will love being married... between the right two people it is a great gift. Don't fall for all the negative press these days about marriage... just put all your effort into it and she will make you a happy man.

Please consider that marriage laws in the US are there for a very good reason... to provide security and protection for the woman. If not for these there are many losers out there who would not take it seriously and just marry, get what they want and divorce the next day.
As long as I live in the USA I don't see myself getting married, ever. If a divorce does happen you are just fucked for years, which is bullshit. Soon as I am living in a better country with sane laws then sure, if I love someone enough then we would get married. I am not getting on one knee with a diamond ring that costs too much though.
Mmm I'm not exactly super excited about it, and I'd rather not get married ($_$), but I'm sure I'd change my mind after a while. God knows I'll make a blog here the day it happens though...
Nowadays you have to be so wary of issues with a getting a divorce. I'd probably do my best to be romantic, but only after many, many... many years, to make sure. ^^

He didn't say he wanted no laws, he just doesn't want to be buttfucked. There's a difference between not protecting women at all, and giving them 99% of the man's wealth at the time, and all the money he'll ever make for the rest of his life. ^^

I don't believe one needs to marry to be with someone for the rest of their life. If you're truly going to be together then you shouldn't have to worry about just "dating". The woman shouldn't mind unless she just wants a ring, a wedding and a last name.
I wrote a 5 stanza poem about our relationship that ended with a proposal. I took her to a nearby monastary that has a ton of property and a pretty large lake. On the last bridge with a bench in the middle we sat down and I started reading the poem. We were completely alone. On the last stanza, I got down on one ring and proposed! She loved it.
And for all the guys who think diamonds are too $$$, moisannite is a terrific option, and is what I got for my fiance.
Gay nerd here who cannot maintain a relationship for more than a month. About 95 percent of guys prefer women, 90 percent of the gays at my school are not my type, 90 percent of the ones that do interest me, I am afraid to ask out...I am so fucked and that is just a relationship not to mention marriage.
But yeah, forget the expensive stuff, my philosophy on love should not be determined by money, but by your feelings. A restaurant sounds wonderful but forget the diamond ring, that just sounds...financially harmful...and if that is a good way to love someone....then wow.
Discuss the issue in private, slowing hnting at it and building up certainty so I could make a spectacle out of it with the foreknowledge that she'd say yes
so tristan since in my opinion you are asking this because you ask TL this question because you are thinking about popping the question soon yourself, here is some advice good old mr. Shakur gave us (with some adaptations to make it more SFW) A weak man does what he can, A real man does what he wants. Just do it.

Please consider that marriage laws in the US are there for a very good reason... to provide security and protection for the woman. If not for these there are many losers out there who would not take it seriously and just marry, get what they want and divorce the next day.
You talk like women don't do that.. Lol.
Despite the retarded laws in the US, I think i'll still marry. Dunno about all of this public stuff, i'd prefer private.. And, natural. Not forced. Just a preference of mine - nothing intricate. On the beach, moon out, 2 am, etc.

Did you know that in the US, it's the woman who files for divorce over 70% of the time? Regardless, I'm not in favor of a system that says "you made a choice that you later changed your mind about, time to leave your husband and make him pay half or more of his income and hand over a ton of his assets regardless of what he has to say about the matter". If something like spousal abuse, infidelity, or some kind of actual breaking of the vows taken at marriage takes place, I can understand alimony being involved. But this "growing apart" and "irreconcilable differences" shit is just silly. If she wants to leave, she can leave. That doesn't mean she's entitled to alimony or a house/car/whatever she had no part in paying for. I'm getting off topic, so I'll shut up now.
I wouldn't. I'm definitely not the type of woman who fixates on the perfect wedding (or any wedding at all tbh.) I don't really see the point of marriage (for myself anyway.) I do think it's fun when people find interesting/creative ways to propose to their partners though.

I got a good one planned. My girlfriend loves crossword puzzles and she's really good at them, so I'm gonna have the words "Will you marry me," spelled out within the puzzle. I already called the local newspaper and they were totally up for it at a cost of like 50$ or so. Now, how to insure she always does the sunday puzzle without making it seem like I want her to do the puzzle? Still working it out. Gonna have to get into a routine or something.

Just start to do the puzzle, complete 2 or 3 questions and lay it on a table somewhere in sight as if you were done or frustrated. If she really loves crossword puzzles she won't be able to resist completing it. (It also may be, that she just throws it in the trash :-D )
Was in Italy with my girlfriend over summer. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to propose on a gondola in Venice. She cried with happiness, accepted, then told me it was a stupid place to propose because how awkward would the rest of the tour have been had she said no. And that's why she's awesome, haha.

Yeah they proposed outside or something then (the first 3 rows are anna's friends) they made a funny picture lol.
Wouldn't want to get a no or force someone to give a no in a public place. Also, I don't feel you need to have strangers be present at such a private moment.
So most likely I would take her out, then go home. Then I would have asked a friend to make my house cliché romantic whilst we were eating, and then ask her there.
This. Actually, I am proposing this upcoming weekend and rather than just utterly surprise my gf, we did a lot of talking about it. She wanted a more private and personal proposal, so I am taking her out to eat and then having some nice romantic time with her at her apartment, and then I will propose to her. I am super excited to be putting a ring on her hand because I already know she is going to say yes .
Congrats man, way to go... it sounds like you two will be very happy. And yes, a smart man will propose only after he is sure she is going to say yes
By the way, you will love being married... between the right two people it is a great gift. Don't fall for all the negative press these days about marriage... just put all your effort into it and she will make you a happy man.

Do most of the puzzle yourself, leaving just the ones that make out 'will you marry me' then just mention in passing at some point if she could finish it for you as you can't figure out the last few
This got me thinking about how crazy some proposals are. I've heard many stories and seen all kinds of pictures/videos of weird and wonderful ways to propose. Personally I am very old fashioned in many of my lifestyles, as such my proposal would be a very Romantic evening out sort of thing. Maybe on a Holiday to somewhere scenic and beautiful.
So Ladies and Gentlemen of Team Liquid. How would you propose to your partner? Also if anyone has already proposed or been proposed to, share the stories!
Lastly, Congratulations to Geoff and Anna. I hope you have an amazing Wedding and Life together.
Hi OP. This reminds me of that guy would wanted to propose just before BUNGEE JUMPING. I mean, I'm not sure how that's going to help...but that's super scary
I honeslty can't decide if I would do something really outlandish/unique (like that), or simply in a really sweet (although not necessarily traditional) way.
On January 31 2012 20:36 Lennon wrote: I wouldn't. Marriage is for women.
This, I don't ever plan on getting married as there's no real benefit to getting married. There's only negative effects.
What are the negative effects which don't count for a defacto relationship?
Divorces can often result in men getting financially buttfucked for decades by the court system. At least in the States.
That being said, I still would like to get married someday. It's just a decision I won't make quickly or carelessly. As for proposing, that's something I would only to in private. I'm not even a big fan of PDAs because I remember how uncomfortable they made me when I was still single and around some of my friends that were married. I'm not saying I act like an iceman around my girlfriend in public, but I don't get too cuddly/kissy either. An event as personal as a marriage proposal isn't something I'd want strangers to be privy to either.
The financial side is pretty intimidating, but at least here in Australia and the UK, you are considered in a defacto relationship if you live together or have any shared finances, which means you can get financially fucked anyway, so it's not such a big deal.

For all those worried about doing it in public, or worried about rejection, you usually talk about getting married beforehand. You know whether or not you want to get married before you propose lol. If youre proposing, they shouldnt have to think, because its an important decision youve likely talked about before.
As for my story, I proposed to my gf of 6 years in May. Were getting married this June. The story is long and elaborate but the TL;DR is took her to Vegas with a couple who were best friends with. Nice evening on the town, saw Le Reve, got a buncha margaritas, hopped down the strip, landed at the Bellagio fountains at night. Went to a knee during the show. It made for a beautiful backdrop. Our friends took pictures which was somethign she wanted. While we were out, I had the hotel set the room up with champagne and rose pedals and the whole shibang. It was an amazing night!
so I dont know if I should start a new thread or not, but here it goes in this one anyways.
I need some ideas as the marriage proposal plan I had is not longer viable do to visa issues. I had planned a private sunset cruise @key west with live music and dinner and was planning to propose at that moment. Due to some visa problems key west is out of the option for now,
I still would like to propose soon as I will be traveling to the country where she lives, and I once used to live. but now Im kinda clueless of how to do it since my 1st plan is gone.
consider the following things:
I will be renting an apartment studio for the time of me being there. She will leave her mothers house and stay with me at this apt while im there. I will be in a city that has no beach and is far away from beaches. The city is not a big metropolis city, medium size city I guess. I do have some knowledge of local places but its somewhat limited. city is known to be a party city. many nigh clubs bars etc Money is not a huge deal, as I had plan to spend usd 2k or so, which in local currency can do a lot!
About her:
she is a simple laid back girl she doesnt like really expensive fancy things , she is more into saving, and not wasting she like romance, but she is not one of those hopeless romantic type of girls. she doesnt like flowers and flower arraignments likes chocolates enjoys live music
those are some of the relevant things I can think of the top of my head. Also she will be working during morning time unil lunch so I do have some time to prepare surprises and stuff.
I just need some ideas or opinions on how to do a good romantic proposal :D any help is greatly appreciated since i cant really make up my mind and stop thinking on the key west thing

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

So last spring my friend decided to propose to his longtime girlfriend (9 years). He called me and some other friends the day before and told us he would need everyone to participate. He made a 20 meters (70 feet) long banner that said in huge red letters "..., will you marry me". The plan was to get his girlfriend on top of the "bavaria", a huge statue, of which you can climb stairs inside to get on top where there is a small viewpoint inside the statues head. What you see is a huge empty space, where the Oktoberfest usually takes place. However there are always lots and lots of people around and when he got his girlfriend to get up the statue, we rolled out the banner and suddenly hundreds of people started shouting. She looked outside, saw the banner, turned around and there he was on one knee asking the question. She said yes, everyone was happy, we went celebrating, everything was great and then 2 month later she dumped him.

Hmmm... I think it's definitely acceptable if someone doesn't "believe in marriage" and hence doesn't want to ever get married in their life, but it's gonna be hard as hell to find a woman who will share that.
Most people want to get married eventually, and in the case of women it's even less likely to find one that doesn't care about marriage.
Personally, I do want to get married at some point in my life, but I guess I will know when the time and the person is right. I do expect my marriage to last forever though. I'm used to a "traditional nuclear family", my parents rarely even fight (that I know of, maybe they're really private about it), and as far as I've known they've never thought about separating or divorcing, so I'd like my own marriage to follow on their example.

The common denominator for me was nature- something beautiful to look at I guess.
Standing on a roof in the snow looking out over the city. Lying on top of a car looking at the stars in the countryside. Watching a thunderstorm from the 21st floor through floor to ceiling windows. At the beach at 2 am with a full moon.
Anyway, none of that getting down on one knee crap for me. In my perfect world a proposal would be a long period of sitting and enjoying where we were in quiet, and then: "Let's get married." And I'd say "ok" and we'd go home and go to bed happy.
You say you abhor traditional romantic things, yet all the scenarios you list as positive places for a proposal are traditionally romantic things. Any natural place, alone, together; I think most people would find that romantic.

Proposing is a directive of the social programming most people are running in their heads. They should wake up instead of blindly following their directives, there is no need for this. People not understanding this are utterly stupid.
I proposed to my now wife with a string of inside jokes. She came over one evening and as I was cooking supper I told her Kevin (our pink flamingo) had helped me put together a surprise for her. She got kinda nervous/suspicious at that, wondering what the heck I had planned. After dinner I pulled out a shoe box wrapped in hot pink (technically Funky Flamingo) duct tape. When she opened it, she saw the open ring box nestled in a bed of red roses and I asked her to marry me.
Then we opened a couple bottles of wine to celebrate. Which led to me telling my mother "I'm drunk. Also I'm engaged" when she returned a call that night.
wow inControle is a baws! thats way better than how i proposed to my fiance. hey tristan congrats on your soon to be engagement! and inControl congrats on your engagement too!
