  • you should talk to her sister/friend and see if she has a ring in mind already. women do that quite often! good luck!! maybe if she likes dogs you can get her one, tie the ring on a string around the dogs neck and hand the dog to her! just an idea :P
  • The ring part is pretty much impossible for me to give advice on without knowing the girl. However, I believe that the absolute best way to propose is to somehow incorporate something that occurred in the very beginning of your relationship. For example, the night I first met my husband, he was wearing flip flops, and I playfully grabbed his pinky toe to get his attention. Years later when he proposed, he was giving me a foot massage, and then slipped the ring onto my pinky toe. In all that time, I hadn't even really thought about the fact that I had grabbed his toe that night, but the instant he did it, the memory flooded back and it was completely amazing. It was extremely cute, surprising, thoughtful, and romantic. I couldn't even imagine something that would have meant more to me.
  • I would rather shop together. I wouldn't want him to choose it for me. If we go together its more fun. But it depends on the GIRL.
  • I would want it right then and there seems more legit, I've had proposals before without rings and no weddings, my husband now had it at the time he asked me and it's definitely legit. Just seems more real unless you just show up at the jewelry store with her and propose there so she can pick it out! That would definitely be sweet too!!
  • take your girlfriend downtown near the ring shop you have already been to. propose to her close by and then walk to the ring store and show her the ones you can afford. you could pick out your wedding ring at the same time.
  • 1. Sober 2. Seriously 3. Quietly 4. Privately (my own suggestion; the Megavision screen at the ball game is fine for show, but not recommended)
  • With a nice quiet dinner for the two of you.
  • From the bottom of your heart. Knowing her, you'll find just the perfect moment. Good luck!
  • By your love and sincerity. In this day and time, I would not suggest a formal proposal which is merely going through the motion. I did not propose to my girlfriend (my wife) in any formal way. I showed my love and sincerity by the moments I chose to spend with her. Though our courtship was only for two years but it was 730 days long. This meant that there was never a day that we were out of touch with each other. Therefore this is my proposal: do not propose but just show her your love and sincerity.
  • How about near a lake, at sunset?
  • Some couples do look for a ring together for that future "someday" when they will get engaged. Then you go and purchase the ring when she doesn't know so you can surprise her. If she is picky, this might be the safe thing to do. Other girls want to be totally surprised. If you do pick out the ring, see if its exchangable if she doesn't like it. Or...have one of her trusted relatives or friends help you pick it out. If you look at internet sites for ideas for proposing, you will probably find one or two that sounds perfect for you and your girl friend. Maybe you can adapt an idea you see to fit you.

  • Alot of the jewelry companies with let you pick out a stone that you want/ can afford and put it in a solitaire and then when you are ready the two of you can go back and put it in the setting that she wants.... GOOD LUCK!!!!
  • Depends on the girl: If she is super-picky, it might be a good idea to get her a very simple ring in the cut, color, and size that she wants... you can usually get a gorgeous enhancer without having to exchange the ring. I personally recommend Helzberg Diamonds (That where my man and I have been looking for awhile!) and they're always very helpful and knowledgeable about their line! As for the proposal itself, there are so many ways you can do this! You can take her out to a fancy restaurant and have the ring placed in her glass, or maybe have it set as a decoration on top of her dessert... Or you can go have a romantic picnic in your favorite outdoor spot, or even re-create the first date... Doing something sweet and special would make the memory that much sweeter... My guy gave me our promise ring when we were touring a cave... the guide turned off all the lights, clicked on a flashlight, and said the one of the guests had a nannouncement. I turned around, and my man was on one knee... It was adorable, sweet, fun, and very creative! I can hardly wait for the real proposal!
