Proposal opinions?

30 replies

Hello

I am looking to propose to my girlfriend and would like some opinions.

Do I:

Do it on her birthday morning (we are flying to a holiday destination on her birthday)
Wait until we are there with a bottle of champagne, etc?
Wait until (or orchestrate) a 'perfect moment' at a nice dinner or whilst walking on the beach, etc.?

Also, would you prefer a 'proper' ring to be given or would you prefer a 'token' ring and a promise to buy one together that she can pick? I know her tastes reasonably well, but I think she would like it if we could pick the ring together.

Any opinions gratefully received!

Hi! Yes, I have decided. I am going with a token ring and will pick a good moment... and will certainly be getting down on one knee! Thanks all for your help. :0) Wish me luck!

no pressure, when we were on hols last year, a couple got engaged. He proposed underwater on a scuba diving trip:)

Have I great time and I hope she says yes:)

Don't go all distant with her and distracted and acting oddly when you're trying to engineer a special moment. She'll think you're hiding something. (Which you are obv)

It will result in sulking and an argument.

Token ring is a good idea. Good luck!
