Not too sure why I have come here to ask this question but since I spend a lot of my time in the berry and have received pretty solid advice in the past I thought I'd try my luck again.

Been married, been divorced.

Afterwards I met my match with a beautiful, down to earth, independent woman, with brains, boobs, booty - the whole package.

She's also got a couple of million in the bank - I make good money but certainly not to that standard.

So all in all its a pretty sweet deal.

The question is, how do I propose? She's never been engaged but has certainly dropped the hints about it by showing me certain rings and commenting on them.

When I asked my ex wife to marry me I was butt naked in the bedroom, with a hangover - we all know how that ended.

So guys and gals, I've got the ring - now how do I pop the biggy???
 
Text her. It's the new "in" thing
 
Done, should I also send a pic of my genitals to her? I hear that's quite popular these days too.
 
I have a few ideas, but first, what are some of the things that you guys do? For example, my girlfriend and I leave love notes for each other all the time. Do you have any disgustingly cute habits or nicknames for each other? Work something like that in there. She'll think it's really romantic and sweet. If not, you can always go big with a more elaborate plan/execution. Again, think references to significant moments for you two. Best of luck!

Bring her to a Family Dollar store.... say that you heard there's a good steal on toiletries there.... and that since funds have been pretty tight for you this is an ideal solution.

While you're walking into the store rifle through the first garbage can you see. Say something like, "you wouldn't believe the things you can find in one of these!".

When you get to the aisle you're looking for, drop to one knee and say, "It would mean so much if you would let me take your hand in marriage.... and with the combining of our incomes we might actually break into the middle class."
 
You can steal the idea I used if you want.

I took my girl to the radio city christmas show in NYC (though this could work in any city or place that you'd find street vendors) and after the show had a buddy of mine who she'd only met once briefly act like a street vendor selling roses in front of the big tree at rockefeller center. I attached the ring to the rose petals (I think I used hot glue) ahead of time and "bought" that rose from my buddy. Then handed her the rose and waited for her to notice the ring before doing the whole get down on one knee thing.

It was pretty awesome because apparently the city had just banned street vendors from that area so my buddy got hassled by the cops until he explained what he was doing. So there were a bunch of cops who all knew what was about to go down and apparently started spreading the word around to other random people. So when she said yes the cops and all these people who had gathered around started clapping and shit. It was seriously one of the coolest moments of my life.

We're divorced now, lol

Go to a gun range and write out the message with bullets on a paper target. Just don't use a shotgun...

That's awesome. My wife and I didn't have any fancy proposal. We just sort of talked about it, agreed that's what we both wanted, and that was that. However, maybe I'll use that as a random surprise. Women love that.
 
I was going to say don't do it but it looks like she has the right qualification, Money.
 
Or....
Get a couple of cans of beef stew (the good kind). Clean up your garage real nice like. Clean your electric hot plate up so that she can almost see her reflection (if she ignores the rust) in it.
Brush the fritos crumbs and pubic hairs off of the love seat you have in the garage.

When she comes over to watch WKRP In Cincinnati with you, hand her a cup of that beef stew you had cooking on the hot plate and have the ring resting on top of one of the pieces of beef.

Do it on an anniversary or something and tell her you just felt like you'd never given her a proper proposal.

One thing I thought of afterwards that I could've done to make it even more special was to invite a bunch of our mutual friends/family to just kind of hide in the crowd until after the proposal.
 
Over the course of a week I did a little "do you remember the time when" tour of our town - each day we re-lived a special moment in our timeline that was made in a specific area, ie: the first hike we took and the overlook where we shared stories and our second kiss - first time we rode a mountain bike trail together and stopped half-way into the ride to have a quickie - driving an hour away from the city and sitting beside a lake just watching the stars for a night (yeah, we shared lots of 'nature' moments) and etc... -- She loved re-living those moments but was clueless as to why I was doing it, I just said I wanted to remake those memories with how I know her now, as the best woman in the universe --
On the final night I took her to make a new memory - we went to an old fire-tower, climbed to the top, and that's when I did it. It was fall - we were alone - and we were overlooking a beautiful landscape. She cried tears of joy the entire rest of the weekend and couldn't stop smiling. She wasn't into diamonds and didn't want anything like that - so I had this ring made up of white and yellow gold knotted together with her birthstone in the center.

few months later she changed her mind and just turned her back on me *shrug*
 
Make her propose to you.
 
Just propose to her like everyone else does, OP. At the OB/GYN with her crying, a dejected downtrodden look on your face, and utter those special words to her "I suppose you will want me to marry you now, right?" :D
 
Break up with her first, then come back about 15 minutes later and propose. You have to keep them guessing. Keep the mystery alive. You can never let her think she's got you figured out.
