Marriage Proposal Tips Sure To Win Her Heart

11/24/2007

 

For some guys, proposing marriage carries with it all of the weight of the world. They worry where to propose, what to say, and how to do it. We have all seen the movies, talked with our friends and family members, and have discovered that there is one thing in common – ask her and wait for her reply! Seriously, asking is one thing but establishing a romantic setting she’ll never forget is something entirely different. Why not explore what is available to you? Keep reading and we’ll take a look at some tried and true methods of winning her heart forever.

When you present an engagement ring to your intended, you are making a commitment to love her for the rest of her life. This scares many guys as a long term commitment could be foreign to them. Perhaps your parents were divorced when you were young or most of your friends have yet to marry. Maybe you are concerned that you just don’t have what it takes to live life as a married man.

Relax. Many of the feelings you are feeling are the same that she is experiencing. Marriage isn’t something that happens on your wedding day, it is a lifetime of development from marriage to death.

What your woman does want from you is commitment. Having a good job, decent finances, a nice car and at least fairly good looks is of interest to her. But, as her mother probably has told her time and again, she is looking for someone who plans on being there for her through good times as well as bad.

To underscore your love for her, you’ll want to propose marriage when you know that the time is right. Family and friends may pressure you and she may drop hints, but ultimately you need to ask her when you have a quite moment. These moments can include:

A stroll through the local gardens or park for a relaxing time together. A park bench, cupola, bandstand or other private setting has a calming effect, allowing you to retrieve the engagement ring without feeling that you are on display. Trust me, most men want to shout to the world that they are engaged, but only after a private proposal took place.

Dinner at a restaurant with an impeccable reputation. We’ve all been disappointed when we’ve eaten out. There are times when the food is not cooked right, the wine selections disappointing or the atmosphere too distracting. When proposing marriage, consider a restaurant that has great food and is enjoyable for all. You will want to tell the maitre‘d in advance of your plans so that he can ensure that your evening stays problem free. Your wait staff can time the delivery of the food so that it doesn’t arrive when you are presenting the ring unless, of course, you want witnesses!

Immediately following a special event. Gathering together with several generations of family members can serve as a reminder to you both that marriage signifies the continuation of all that is good in this life. On the other hand if all you have left for family is her divorced stepfather, you may want to choose another time to propose. Seriously, once the crowd has left and you’ve had the chance to spend time alone, proposing marriage will seem almost second hand. Not quite, but close!

Ultimately, you can determine when the time is right by gauging her mood and the setting you are in. If you are uptight or nervous, don’t worry: she’ll soon forget everything else as she realizes that you’re there for her now and will be there for her always.
