Introduction

You're not the type of girl to wait around for Prince Charming. You know what you want, so why not ask for it? Here are some thoughts on how to propose to the man in your life.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Steps

1

Step One

Know your beloved well and anticipate his response. Will he be swept away by this romantic gesture? Or could he feel threatened by a woman's proposing marriage? (If so, you may want to reconsider.)
2

Step Two

Set the stage. Pick his favorite place - whether you consider it romantic or not - to pop the question. This might be a secluded camping site, a fancy restaurant, a golf course at sunset ... or even a sports bar. Let your love's taste be your guide.
3

Step Three

Keep your plans flexible. You may have an evening of French cuisine and fine wine in mind; he may be in the mood for burgers and beer. Unless your plans involve other people or events, go with the flow.
4

Step Four

Make a splash if your beloved appreciates the theatrical. Put your question up in lights at a ballgame, or bring in a soloist to croon over pasta.
5

Step Five

Keep the occasion subtle if your honey tends to like things more subdued. Pop the question over dessert or during a private game of pool.
6

Step Six

Bring or plan an engagement gift. Sure, you could get him a ring, but a puppy with a note tied around its neck might be a better choice. Or a motorcycle. Something that will last for a long time.
7

Step Seven

Give him some time to be surprised and tongue-tied. Remember, even though he loves you for the unconventional woman you are, he probably won't see this one coming.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you've already been dropping hints and he hasn't been receptive, don't use a proposal to force the issue. Your attempt at romance may backfire.
