But, don’t do anything that has been done in a movie before. Let me clarify how to make something cheesy. Add 1 point for each of the following things involved: 1) Cute dogs 2) Cute children (if they’re singing love songs add another point) 3) Rain (if you’re in it add another point) 4) Big Room w/ One Table 5) Popping Bottles 6) On a Beach (if it’s sunrise/sunset add another point) 7) Candle Light 8) Bows on things bigger than the actual object Ok, I haven’t seen a romantic comedy in a long time so this list in thin, but you get the idea. I just mean, don’t do something cliche.
Send a Western Union telegram if you want to be original. Nobody uses those.
my girlfriend is a big foodie and loves fine-dining. we live in new york and have to been to a bunch of the top places (cafe boulud, 11 madison park, etc) and she loved it. i’m thinking fine dining or food will play a part in what i do. but dont worry lxwarr30 i’m not going to put the ring in a champagne glass or have a cake with the question written with frosting! i’m surprised there have been no girls (i think) on this thread yet. aren’t proposal stories the female equivalent of drinking/bar fight stories?
Is your chick into trivia and puzzle type thingies? You should send her on a scavenger hunt from one place to another. I know a guy who did that… Gave out clues to a couple of family members (dad in law, brother in law), coworkers, etc And then made the bride go around town… one clue leading to another while he waited on top of the Empire State building (last clue) with the ring. She gets there, and boom he pops the question
Girl here…Take her skydiving and ask her before you guys jump! Pretty swanky.
Tweet a youtube link to her friendster account.

I can tell you right now that if you’re asking this group for advise on this subject, their is absolutely no hope for a successful marital relationship in your future.
Just get her drunk/high and do it in Vegas.

However you do it, just remember one thing: it has to make for a great story. Girls love to tell stories to make other girls jealous.

I dont agree with you. This group has lots of potential. Earlier, they helped a guy to get a girl thru Internet Dating. And,they also have high success rate of Bar/nighclub pickups.

You have demonstrated that you are ready for marriage just by knowing this fact. For most women the only thing that matters is making other women jealous. There are of course varying degrees of this but it does drive the decision making process for most women. Sending your girlfriend/wife flowers at work really isn’t about showing her affection, it’s about her being able to show off in front of her female coworkers. It gives the impression to other women that she has a kind and loving mate that is better than their mate. Same with jewelery.

It gives the impression to other > women that she has a kind and loving mate that is > better than their mate. Same with jewelery. completely true. i sent my gf flowers once, and she immediately showed them off to her work friends and posted on facebook. she then followed up on facebook twice with pictures - once that day and then a few days later when they bloomed a little better. my gf knows i don’t read her posts, so they obviously weren’t for me
Lol, okay clearly that is going to be the consensus on this board so I won’t too much time getting into it but some of us have matured passed high school. I have a strong distate for gestures such as sending flowers to the office. I don’t see why my boyfriend or my relationship should be on display for all to see like a show dog. By all means, send flowers to my house, in fact send some chocolates as well! Jewerly and shoes are a whole other story. Especially shoes. kmm1486 - Good luck with the proposal. It’s a personal and intimate moment. Make it memorable for the both of you, not for the entire world.
