I do know that she dislikes the idea of public proposals. So no hockey games etc.
Propose to her at a WNBA game, that way you will know nobody is watching.
Next time you're on the toilet, yell:
You: Hey, Babe!
Her: What?
You: Wanna get hitched?
Her: Yeah!
You: Alright, sweet.
That's how you know if she's a keeper. After something a bit more festive though. Maybe wear a hat or something...
Wear a nacho Sombrero. Women love that cheesy goodness.
Better yet clog the toilet, leaving the plunger out of the room somewhere with a ring on it, and yell for her to get it.
I'm gonna stop before this gets too jewish
Too late....
I asked her if she wanted to marry standing in my single wide while i was eating mac and cheese. Told her id get her a ring the next day and bought her a silver band. Had a courthouse wedding married 15 years and counting. It's the ultimate test of if they are serious or not.
Put an onion ring on her finger, ask if she wants to marry you and by this point her finger will be burnt so take the onion ring off, eat it and then while she is in shock, kneel and produce the real ring in the fast food parking lot.
Got married to my gf of 12 years at a courthouse ticket booth during jewvid, it was pretty nice. The news interviewed us which I wasn't a fan of but I refused to wear a mask while talking to them which was my comeuppance.
That's pretty much what I did with my 1st wife. Lasted 10 years. Swore I'd never get involved let alone married again. But hey, here we are.
A buddy of mine took his girlfriend on a small local wintertime river cruise, like a 3-4 hour type thing. After they boarded he separated from her and found an officer on the ship and told him he was planning to propose, so the officer found them later and acted like an old school buddy and took them up to the private captain’s deck for a “private tour.” Then he left them alone and they basically had their proposal on a completely private cruise ship under the stars.
Always that was pretty cool. Unique and memorable without being absurd or extravagant
A three hour tour? What if you end up like Gilligan's island
It’d be tough to do on a river, but anything’s possible I suppose
That's really nice.
Just tell her it's time. Be like, "Look here woman, I want you to make all my sandwiches, have all my babies, and take care of my house. I'll handle the rest. So this means we're going to get married."
Before I proposed to my wife, there were 3 other times she thought I was about to propose but I wasn't even thinking about it. It's just we were in very nice but remote areas (new Hampshire, Nassau, Zion Park, etc) but where I did propose, we were in Napa, specifically at Castillo de Amorosa. I made sure to call a few of her friends, I called mine and my family. Had about 15 people hiding in the bushes, taking pictures and video of the proposal from distance. I got Google maps and made a plan from where I would enter and where each team should be taking pictures and videos. I marked 4 proposal locations, directions where we would be coming from if I were going to have to change spots due to crowding or whatever. I coordinated the groups on whatapp by having our live location sent to the groups in real time. It worked flawlessly and my wife was extremely happy with how everything went down and retrospect said it was more than what she could have ever expected.
My other friends had their husband's propose in completely mundane and semi dispresctful or completely uncreative ways... Such as proposing at 7am, in bed, right when she woke up about to go to work...
She says she doesn't want a public proposal, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want a proposal in a public place without her friends or family. For something like this, even her friends and family would love to be apart of it, I know mine were.
If you've been together for five years without getting married, don't propose. The marriage will last six months. This always happens. People afraid to commit finally get talked into marriage, and then they decided it's a mistake. Even though nothing has really changed, everything changes. Just telling you. I know you won't listen to me, but that's OK, you'll find out for yourself. Sorry.
Demoralize him!
Why would you say we're afraid to commit? That's absolute rubbish. You don't know anything about us or where we come from. Appreciate the input though.
Before you propose, ask for her parents blessing, assuming they are still around.
I know it's old school, and every woman says it doesn't matter, but there's a lot to gain and nothing to lose. Most parents want to know their daughter's future husband takes family seriously, and will respect a guy that has the balls to ask them. And if there's any kind of friction with her family and you, it's better to get it out in the open now rather than later.
Give yourself options, so that you can do it organically when the time is right.
Start by making the date at the courthouse. 6 months to a year out. Bring 4 witnesses. Two men, two women. Don't tell them until after you've popped the question, of course. They'll ruin it.
Plan a series of dates/outings. Stuff that gets your heart pumping.
But, also, something that involves delicious food.
When she's well fed, then goes out and has had an exhilarating moment... that moment she is coming off that feeling, pop the question and present a ring. I recommend moissanite. Literally no one can tell whether or not it's a diamond.
It doesn't have to be more complicated than, "I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
After you've popped the question, give her an orgasm or two, then a nice dessert and a long sleep.
Wake up... another orgasm or two... and you're set.
If she needs a big wedding, do it after the courthouse ceremony and don't tell anyone about the first marriage. Swear the witnesses to secrecy.
However, I suggest you invest in the marriage rather than the wedding.
I try to make a difference daily. Not hard when you're really into someone. No big wedding, no church. That's also one reason to make the proposal a bit more memorable.
Thanks
moissanite
Do not get a "fake" gem without explicitly running it past the woman first! Some are perfectly fine with lab creations; others have swallowed the mined diamond marketing.
Nobody can tell. Just don't get one that looks like it's supposed to be worth 100k.
You can always upgrade the ring down the road.
Nobody can tell.
A jeweler can tell. Maybe not all of them, but definitely the one my ex went to. Let's just say that experience didn't endear her to me. Current wife loves how big and beautiful hers is.
(Also with the real thing priced 20-50x higher for perfect/flawless/etc. anyone with a general sense of my income could determine that I didn't spend 25k on the rock)
