of Proposing your girlfriend !
Proposing to you girl friend is the
most important thing in a man's life. This is a question
that brings immense joy and excitement in your life.
This moment is cherished all your life and therefore
this moment has to be special. Now before you get down
on one knee, read these dos and don'ts of proposing.
DO's:
________________
Do Talk about Marriage
Before you propose, talk about the possibility of
getting married. Make sure it's something that you both
want.
Do make it a Surprise
Even though you have discussed marriage, the proposal
itself should still be a surprise. Find a |
|
moment and a way that is special
and she should not be expecting it. Remember it
should be a surprise.
Do Find the Right
Engagement Ring
Since wearing an engagement ring is a lifetime
commitment, make sure it's the right style. If you
think its difficult choosing the right ring
yourself, you can also ask her mother or best friend
to help choose the ring.
Do Take Elders Blessings
It is always better to take the consent of both the
parents. Therefore before you pop the question, make
sure that you have spoken to her and your parents
about it.
Do Pick a Personal Spot
Think about your favorite romantic places -- choose
a romantic spot to pop the question. Just make sure
that it is a special spot and this is your personal
moment.
Do Be Creative
Incorporate your personality, favorite things, foods
etc. into the proposal. Make it memorable and
something to cherish the rest of your lives.
Do Drop to one knee
It's not 1950, but there is something so charming
and romantic about a man on one knee asking the love
of his life to marry him. Even if you're not a
traditional guy, it will add to the seriousness and
lovingness of the proposal.
Do Tell Her Why You Want to
Marry Her
Don't just utter those 4 little words, tell her why
she's the one for you, what marriage means to you,
and what your hopes for the future are. Make her
feel special and great about the relationship and
the future ahead.
DON'Ts:
Don't Make it Public
Please don't propose to her in a public place. Make
it intimate and a personal thing. The moment belongs
to you therefore this magical moment should be
between just the two of you – after all, you've got
the rest of your lives to tell other people about
your marriage but you've only got one engagement
moment.
Don't Propose on a holiday
Consider picking a day meaningful to your
relationship, such as the anniversary of your first
date. Your girlfriend wants her day to shine – don't
propose on a holiday that can't be yours as a
couple.
Don't Hide the Engagement
Ring in Food
I hate to say it, (as I'm sure there are some
readers who were planning to do just this) but
hiding the engagement ring in food is a tired idea.
It's been in a thousand movies and TV shows, and you
won't win any points for creativity. Even worse, you
may end your romantic proposal with a trip to the
emergency room or the dentist.
Don't Do it in Front of Her
Family
Its one thing to take blessings of her parents but
don't make the mistake of proposing in their
presence. Proposals in front of family have an added
level of stress that you don't need. Take this
moment to be just the two of you; don't worry, you
can call everyone immediately afterwards.
Don't Propose if you are
not sure
This is an important decision of your life.
Therefore first think whether you are ready for
marriage and responsibility and then propose to her.
Also get to know what she feels too.
Don't Expect Her to say Yes
Immediately
You're asking someone to spend the rest of their
life with you – an extremely important decision.
Just because you've asked, doesn't mean she is ready
to say yes. If your sweetheart says maybe, take it
in stride and give her some time to consider the
proposal. |
