When proposing, you’ll want to consider two important things: 1. will your girlfriend say yes if you propose to her and 2. what are the things she likes. It would be heartbreaking for example if you asked her to marry you in front of thousands of people only for her to say no. If she’s more of a quiet person, she might say yes if you had the public audience because she loves you – but she might feel a little embarrassed or awkward about it also. If a girl really loves you, she’s likely not going to care about what size the engagement ring is or even the where and how that you do it. However, a little creativity and romance never hurts and of course will give you a heck of a story for her friends, family, and your possible future children to say “awwww” about. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Many things can set up a romantic mood – candlelight, long-stemmed roses, a decadent gourmet meal – but a truly romantic proposal will follow the three S’s of romance: sincerity, sensitivity, and sacredness.

Your First Date: This is an old classic, but it still works like a charm for many people. Simply try to recreate your first date as much as you possibly can and at some point pop the question. Hidden Somewhere: You can hide a ring just about anywhere you know your girlfriend will find it and that it will not be at risk for being lost or stolen. Uncommon places include attached to the milk in the refrigerator, tied to the steering wheel of a car, on top of the alarm clock. Make sure you’re there when she finds it and see the surprise!

With a Song: If you’re a songwriter, writing a love song just for your partner and then asking them to marry you is a great way to combine your love of music and your love for your girlfriend all in one.
