if you’re proposing marriage, you should know your partner well enough to know what they like. More importantly, you know them well enough to know what will blow their mind. For some people it’s just hearing the simple phrase, for others--the bigger the better. While everyone will have their own special way to propose, here are some general steps.


Know your soon-to-be partner. Center the proposal around something they will enjoy, whether it be sports, movies or nature. Check online or at the library for creative ideas.

Make the plan. Have the ring and your speech prepared. If you need candles, have them lit. If you need music, have it set to play on cue. Your proposal should be ready long before you actually do the asking.

Don’t betray your style. If you aren’t a very sappy person but they are, don’t make the proposal straight out of their favorite romantic comedy. Make sure it fits you, otherwise it will seem disingenuous.

Prepare your thoughts on the wedding. Some people start to plan the wedding date, location, guest list, etc., the very minute after the proposal. If you are taken off-guard, answering “I don’t know” to all these questions, your proposal may come off as half-baked.

Buy an engagement ring. Be sure to get the right size. This can be done by measuring the circumference of one of their existing rings with a piece of string. Cut it to the length of the circumference and take it to the store.

Practice makes perfect. If you have a speech perfected or some kind of timing is involved, such as music or a film starting at a particular time, do a dry run to make sure things are going smoothly.

Propose to your loved one and present them with the ring.

if u measure her finger, she'll be expecting the ring, then it won't be such a surprise afterall.

why not get her size from her friend

I wish all guys could do this. Its really romatic.

dominobaby u are right,
they watch too many movies and read too many romantic novels.

NAija lawa

C'mon chaps lets step up to the plate.
the romantic gene resides in each and every male, you know you want to do those things for your babe, you just feel it aint macho or you're concerned about what your homies will say or how you will be viewed by them.
It doesnt make us any less of a man to show affection, we were created that way so let this natural instinct flow and make your lover happy and create a good foundation for your relationships.
forget all issues of being used or abused or being taken advantage of, love is a gamble and there is that woman out there who will love you in return the same way you love her.
Naija or no naija, romantic movie or book, hey the bottom line is thus; Life's greatest happiness is the knowledge and conviction that one is truly loved. Wine and dine your babes, tell her you love her and do the things that let her know that she is really and truly appreciated.

Enjoy!

simple; ask her will you [url=http://marry me or not?]marry me or not?[/url]

shikena!

Guys, how about this my lovely and romantic way? Check it out.
You look deep into her eyes and lookaway sharply, telling her that you just come to your senses about her. Tell her you can't live your life anymore without a woman that can take of you and your family, a woman just like her!
You now look down and deep your hands into your torn trouser pocket, bringing out the copper iron ring you've must have taken you time to carve. just try to place it on her finger and see her response

At times I just wonder why we keep wasting so much time, energy and finances on simple one day activity without planning and taking so much time to think about lasting moments.
Guys that the best way to propose to a woman,, or what do y'all think? you know i could be wrong

so many romantic ways to propose dat we c in movies, read in books & all dat.

Romance is vital in any relationship. I'll appreciate a romantic marriage proposal so dat we can remember it for as long as we want.

a few of ways u can propose:

putting d ring in her wine glass over dinner and filling it with d wine, she drinks & discovers d ring & U go like "baby, pls can U stay with me 4eva"? how romantic!!!,

Looking into her eyes afta some romantic moments and if U really dig her, ask her, "do U mind doing dis with me for d rest of our lives & U be d mother of ma unborn children, will U marry me"?

U cld just find d appropriate music dat says it all & bring it to reality with her.

U can be absolutely creative abt it, it doesnt have to be d conventional mtd of going on one knee & asking "pls will U marry"?

It's all up to U, do it ur way

Romance is boring jare jo. just be urself cos one day na u go tire, make una no go end up like TITANIC o!

@topic

Ol'boy,na romancology u study?

For we wey dey swallow like say someone dey chase us, we go come swallow the ring if you put am for glass.

Man all your post na wa oh. You have this taste for romance. You must be a DATE DOCTOR

But do we really need all those romantic moments to propose?

I don't think there's any need for playing romantic boy

Just pop the bloody question "Will you marry me?"
if she says yes, you give her the ring.
If she says no, you pocket the ring and pretend nothing happened

but if she says i'll think about it: you walk out

Well i will take her out,after we have had our meals i will order some desert and the ring will be right there in the middle of the cake(i would have had that planned with the chef).Then drop down on one knee to propose.How romantic can one be!

That proposal over dinner thing is soooo played out. I would rather a guy asked me out anywhere even at home than over dinner. that idea is so unoriginal. It is as plain as vanilla icecream.

Here is a similar topic

[color=#990000][/color] dats luvly. Moneymail u b don. Bt dat is d longest method. Wont u mind if i create d shorter method.

To me, a ring might come later. When i proposed to my girl, i had no ring ready but observed she had been waiting for my proposal. Therefore did not delay any longer. If the love is mutual between the two of you, then the ring as a symbol of proposal is just a formality.
