What you do is slap the ring on the table and say "put that on now!". Girls like you to just tell them what to do.

In all seriousness though, If this is a girl you want to marry I am going to assume you have been dating awhile and you should be able to talk to her about most anything. Including marriage and what not. If you can't then why do you want to marry her? Now if you KNOW you want to marry her you just want to know a way to ask that will impress her or what not well with that you have to play off of her personality and for that for anyone of us to help you we would need more details about her. I mean don't take her to a french restraunt if she hates french food! You get what I mean though?

be romantic sounds hard but not really. Take her to a fancy resturant for dinner and then take her to somewhere senenic under the moonlight and then use your imagination from there

I asked her parents first, especially her Dad. If he gives the go-ahead, I asked my wife during a big family holiday so, lots of relatives could share the moment.

call her up... tell her y'all need to talk and that you think y'all should go out to dinner... then after dinner tell her youve been thinking about the relationship etc.... and then pop the question...

she'll be curious/worried about what you need to talk about... and she'll be so releived and happy...

either that or she would decide that you were breaking up with her and pull the "hes gonna break up with me so i'll break up with him first"

Skip the dramatic bullshit. Take her to a place she enjoys. Make sure she's happy. Tell her what she means to you, what marriage means to you, and then ask if she will marry you.

Good luck!

clavus is the man...

I proposed to my wife at her favorite spot in the world in front of the waterfall Skogafoss in Iceland.

If you can't do that, then plaster pictures of her favorite place all over a room and propose to her there.. be creative and imaginiative to what she wants...

You should order her a plate of nachos. But you know the guy in the kitchen who makes the nachos, so you have him slip the ring in the nachos.

Then she take a big ol' bite of her nachos, and she goes "FUCK! I just cut my lip on something!" and cheese is like spewing out of her mouth.

Then you go, "I love you! Let's get married! Please don't swallow the ring! Here, spit that mouthful of chewed-up nachos into my hand!"

Then you slip the ring that's covered in cheese goop and cheese chunks right on her finger. Make sure to not clean it off, that'll ruin everything.

What a merry time!

romanticism as an idea is highly misused- being romantic isn't flowers, it isn't chocolates, it isn't a long walk on the beach- a "romantic" setting is where the heart feels comfortable, it's where the mind and the soul become one and are of one feeling. If she hates restaurants, they're out. If you're ready to propose, you should know her well enough to know where she's happiest, most comfortable, and where she feels the most love. Do it there, and you'll be good to go.

If you live in the city go somewhere busy with her. Stop and scream at the top of your lungs,

"I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!"

She'll be like, "What are you doing stop!"

Then say, "Oh, well how do you like this...." and get the ring out..

NOTE: I cannot be held responsible if this doesn't work.

Tattoo "Marry Me <her name>" on your forehead and just show up on her door pretending there is nothing tattoed on your forehead.

Remember, nothing says "I love you" more than shaving someone's name in your back hair.

We women love the romance aspect but do it in a way that she enjoys. Not all girls want flowers & a bended knee when the time comes. Be creative & be original - that's the best thing.
If your lady loves camping and the outdoors then take her hiking, say "holy crap would you look at this rock" and show her the ring instead of the granite she's expecting.
If she's a football fan, take her to her favorite home team game and propose at half-time (buy her a beer & drop the ring in the bottom of it...what the hell).
If she's a beach bunny then wait until night & take her for a walk on the beach where you have already set up a little picnic, watch the moon dance on the waves & ask her then.
There's a million ways to do it and the more work you put into it (not necessarily money but imagination) the more it will mean to her because you put in the effort.
Regardless, best of luck & let us know how you do it in the end!

Some guy here in the Twin Cities bought some TV commercial time (like 15 or 30 seconds) during a baseball game and proposed that way. It was lame. I guess that doesn't really help you though.

A good friend of mine (Shannon McDonald) suggested that you propose to her this way: "Propose in a bathtub"..."Candle lit and everything" ... "it could be like in a bowl under [chocolate dipped] strawberries"..."as yall sit there feeding each other you take the last one.. be sure that you get the last one... you pick up the ring...and then you make a sweet proposal"

I think you should make love to her and when she's about to Orgasm then you pull out the ring from thin air and go "ugh, will you marry me!?!" and she'll go "Ohhh .. OHHhh YES!" It would be funny/cool/memorable that way. lolers

Whatever you do, don't do something that has been done done done already. Make sure to be as original as possible.

Be original like Cynthetiq's idea.

You could do something similar to what I did: I blindfolded her and drove her all over town. When I was pretty sure she had no idea where we were, I drove her to the park where we went on our first date. I helped her out of the car and led her to a nice spot on the grass. When she took off the blindfold I was down on one knee with the ring.

If she really loves you,if she is your soulmate,any time and any manner in which you propose will be like music to her heart.

My husband to be first proposed on AIM, it might sound lame or geekish but we are IT professionals, we have also been in a LDR for 16 months.

It was kind of funny,I was on my cell phone at work when he text messaged me.I accepted immediately and I was so happy,my co-workers noticed the look on my face and asked what was up

Over the next week he kind of backed down on the proposal, he wanted to wait till he was working again and could offer me some sort of security, he wanted to give me a ring,he wanted to wait till we'd lived together awhile... lol, he said so I could be sure of what I was getting into.

Flashforward to Xmas,I flew out to Cali to be with him for Xmas week,it was wonderful but strained as it was Xmas and I got to meet his parents,his sister and her kids.The last morning I was there I laughed and asked him if he wanted to repeat what he'd said to me on AIM at Thanksgiving.He looked at me and just said "will you marry me?" it wasn't fancy,it was planned or elborate,there wasn't any ring.....


It was probably the most romantic moment of my life and trust me when I tell you dudes that I've been treated to many a fancy,expensive planned gesture.

Just ask her when you know you really mean it,make it straight from your heart..if she is the one for you,she will love and cherish the moment forever,I know I will

For the most part women don't care about the size of the ring but about how you propose. Women usually don't like to be proposed to in front of other people either. Try something like a place on a secluded beach or hike to an open feild have a picnic and propose... just the two of you. Or take her to a feild far away from lights (maybe in mountains perhaps?) and lay a blanket down, have some wine, look at stars and propose!

A buddy of mine asked his, now wife, to marry him with a similar method, his intent was to slip the ring (beautiful 2 carat, platinum, family heirloom) into her shrimp cocktail.

He gave the ring to the waiter, and the waiter was not seen again.. just skipped out of the restuarant...


Just ask her...

Whatever you do, don't cheese out (no offense to the nacho idea). Make it something personal. It doesn't have to be expensive or cliché. Take her to a place that has significance and ask her to marry you. Very simple. Don't have a plane fly by with a banner or have a monkey with the words shaved on his back tackle her or something like that. Make it a very private special moment. Plus, that way if she says no, no one else has to see you cry

Hmm, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this, but it worked for me:

Just after a steamy session in a rent-a-kiosk in the Minneapolis airport, during a layover in our return flight from Miami to Vancouver, I took a page from the Hanna Barbera animated feature "Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer" and said: "Let's be independent together". Fortunately enough, she was familiar with the reference, understaood my intentions, and we've been blissfully independent together ever since...lessee 8.5 years or so.

We remember the moment with great fondness and not a little tingling *down there*.

I proposed in a hot air balloon. However, don't remember much of the ride itself. Missed the sunset over the ocean. Wife was skeptical of getting in the basket. I guess what I am saying is that the ultimate goal was achieved, however missed some of the most spectacular views.

ok i didnt read anything before i posted this but i assume no one put this one up, you put rose pettles or such leading up to her bed. Then on the bed you leave a pair of shoes. In the right shoe you put the ring.... when she picks up the shoe and sees it you walk in and say, i love you blah blah blah, i want to get this marrige off on the right foot... who says a preposal cant be romantic and fun at the same time... good luck buddy

Dont know if you play an instrument... but...

I wrote a song for my now-wife, and played it in an empty Madison Sqr Garden arena.
It was just me, my guitar and mic plugged into the MSG PA system. I was on one end of the arena, and she walked in on the other side... and I started playing. She followed the red rose peddles around the arena until she got to me. I finished the song, got down on my knee and proposed. The rest is history...
