Hopefully, proposing to your girlfriend is something you’ll only get to do once! Hopefully!!! Increase your chances to make that so by reading these tips on how to propose to your girlfriend.
1. Like all good lawyers, only ask the question if you know the answer! If you think there’s a good chance she’ll say “no” then she probably will! You obviously haven’t given your courtship long enough!
2. If you’re considering risking everything and proposing publicly ie at a ball game or in front of her family, then make sure you’re extra certain she’ll say yes! Otherwise you risk turning your happy occasion into the most humiliating experience of your life!
3. You must surprise her! Don’t let her see any of your plans, if you need to let others in on it to help plan things, make sure you can trust them to keep quiet!
4. If you’ve got your proposal idea from the internet, a book or from someone you know, then make sure you personalize it to your own experiences! Never carbon copy a proposal!
5. Always take a knee! It’s old, corny and cliche but its how she always imagined her proposal would be since she was a little girl so don’t disappoint her!
6. Guard the ring! Don’t risk losing it in some elaborate engagement scheme by burying it in sand or giving it to the Dog to deliver to her! It’s not worth it!
7. Keep good eye contact! She’ll know that you mean it this way and also show confidence which she’ll find attractive!
8. Ambiance is the key to a good proposal! Most girls would take roses, music, food and candles over a huge ordeal in public!
9. Timing! If you would like a long proposal then propose in the spring! You could go for a spring wedding the following year! If you propose in the winter then it could be a very short engagement before you tie the knot!
10. Just relax! It’ll go fine just as long as everything is planned like a military operation! This is your big moment, good luck!
Dating sites have little appeal to guys and gals who are in college or high school. The younger crowd has enormous networks of friends and social activities and have no need for a dating service.
The work a day world provides little opportunity to meet someone romantically because of intense professional pressures and self-education pursuits. Online dating services compound your chances to connect with someone who is a good match from the opposite sex. You get to filter and choose someone compatible with you; that is seldom found elsewhere.
Many of these men and women may be chained at their workplace. They can’t date clients or co-workers. Their time is limited and constrained. When they go out, because of their position and bearing, they intimidate many and find it hard to connect. Often they won’t put their picture on the web because they don’t want to be harassed by “losers” or worse, being recognized professionally.
The reason to use online dating sites is many fold. Best thing is that you can do it from home at any convenient time. Comparative information is available so you can compare profiles for compatibility in order that you don’t waste your time in nonsense encounters. Because of the greatquantity of men and women in these online dating services you multiply your chances of meeting someone you’d like. Writing a good fun profile can put you in contact with quality people rather quickly.
An unbiased rating agency that is recognized as giving non-manipulated results for product reviews is Consumer Reports. They have done an extensive survey in the online dating services field. Their findings are that Yahoo Personals, eHarmony and Match.com are the best online dating sites.
When you are looking for the basics, Match.com and Yahoo Personals deliver. You’ll find Yahoo Personals and eHamony give compatibility tests that get information from you about your likes and dislikes which is helpful when you match yourself up against others. First thing you want to do is set up a throw away email site in gMail or Hotmail for communications. You don’t want to give out your private email until you get to know someone.
eHarmony has more women then men. My guess is that most guys don’t have the patience to fill out the long “personality test.” Eharmony also allows you to post multiple pictures of yourself, post action shots as well as pictures of yourself relaxed.
Match.com allows for an extended profile of yourself so write as much as you can about yourself. As with any sales letter, long copy sells better. Match.com bypasses the Q and A of Eharmony so you need to make your email and profile stand out.
One of the online dating services that allows multiple photos of yourself is Yahoo Personals. Their chat feature also is noteworthy as it allows you to chat over email messenger and you can try it for free but you only get one profile view and then you have to join to get anything more. Helpful tips and advice is another bonus feature.
Before taking a look at the following romantic marriage proposals, I have to insist that you don’t simply copy any idea you read word for word, but to improve upon it and above all make it personal to your own relationship!
That being said, I hope these romantic marriage proposals give you inspiration for when your lady’s big moment arrives.
1. Arrange for a day at the spa for the two of you then change into your best outfits before heading off to a photo shoot. While you’re being photographed go down on one knee and propose. You’ll have the moment forever. After, you can go for a nice meal followed by a night at a 5 star hotel.
2. Rent a suit of armour and a horse. Arrange to meet your girl in the park at lunchtime and arrive a few minutes late on horseback donning the armour. Then offer to be her prince! A friend could be around to play Holsts “Jupiter” as you arrive!
3. Hire a limo and pick her up from work. Hand her a red rose and have her best outfit to hand. Drive down to the best restaurant in town and have them serve you in the limo. Play romantic music and propose for desert.
4. Try recreating your first ever date! Take a walk past the spot where you met. Go for a picnic and eat the first meal you ever cooked for her while listening to your first ever song! She will love the fact that you’ve remembered all the little things.
5. Scope out an idyllic spot which is unfamiliar to her perhaps near a lake or river. Have her arrive blindfolded and when you uncover her eyes, have a picnic set up! You could hide some champagne in the water and propose to your special song.
6. Create a candlelit path leading up her drive and into her house. It could lead her into her bedroom where she’ll find you down on one knee with a ring in your hand.
7. Go for a meal at a nice restaurant and surprise her by being collected in a horse drawn carriage. Drink champagne while you’re riding around and propose to her while you’re cuddling under the stars!
