When
it comes time for a man to propose marriage to his wonderful
girlfriend, he may have an incredibly different idea of how to ask
her to marry him than women do. He may think that by purchasing a
diamond engagement ring and asking her to get hitched while sitting
on the couch is the most romantic way ever, while she is daydreaming
about something romantic on the beach. There is no doubt men and
women have different classification systems for romance, so let us
help you pop the question without epically failing.
First
of all, it probably is not a good idea to propose in front of
thousands of people with a microphone in your hand. Romantic? No. If
she is not the type of woman who likes all eyes on her, she will feel
mortified and never forgive you for it!
Make
sure you have an actual diamond engagement ring. If finances are
tough right now, wait for the right time! Although it seems like a
great idea to give her a plastic twenty-five cent ring from the
gumball machine, she may not think that you are serious if you have
not spent the time (or money) on an actual ring.
For
some reason, the movies we see on the big screen have told us it is
acceptable to hide the ring in her food or drink. Does it seem
reasonable for you to put a very expensive piece of fine jewelry in
some mashed potatoes? What if she hid that designer watch you have
been ogling in a cheeseburger? Yummy. There is nothing like trying to
get ketchup and mustard out of every single crevice of the jewelry.
Romantic? No. Treat her diamond engagement ring with respect!
Probably
the worst way you could ever propose is with an old engagement ring
from
an ex! What on earth makes you think this is ok? Would you accept her
ex-husband's wedding ring? I didn't think so.
The
last way you should not propose is via text, email or phone call.
This is a very special time and deserves to be treated like an
actual, real life event! That is not too much to ask for, guys. Buy a
diamond engagement ring, read this article, then go to her in person
and ask her to be your wife. You are better than a text message and
so is she!
