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!

I'm a pretty unromantic guy and as I mentioned she is well grounded and not into all that. Well, maybe she could do with a little more romance in her life.

No little notes or pet names / well apart from she calls me twattybollocks when I've been acting up.

I did that the last time and I never heard the end of it. "Who proposes with their cock out?" Is all I heard from that day forward.


Me.

LOL.

Mine was just before flying to Vegas. He wanted to do it there but thought 1) we'd be stopped and have luggage searched and I'd see it or 2) our luggage would be lost. Either way, I'd see the ring or there'd be no ring.

Just be nice. Doesn't matter how if you tell her you love her and couldn't imagine a life without her. Women who expect a certain thing and then going to buy a ring tend to be wankers.

1. Get a proposal thread stickied here in the Mayberry lounge.
2. Create an account for her and send her login credentials.
3. Pre-send her a private message linking her to said proposal thread.
4. ???
5. Profit

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*

damn dude. them feels

Sorry about that man, must've been rough.

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???

Baby....you love this dick?

 

[shanegotu11]

No but if she is romantic, do something super romantic. Rent a hotel and rose petal the bed with a bottle of her favorite drink. Take her in a limo to a fancy spot and have them play music at your table.

Then I'd take her on a carriage ride where I'd propose to her at a romantic spot in the city.

The simplest and smallest things in life are always the best. Never let those things go. Your girlfriend and yourself sound like a great couple. Props.

Thanks brother. It was easily the toughest period I've ever been through. She broke a lot of hearts when she left me.
It's been an up and down road since then (2+yrs now) but I've got things back under control. Living well is the best revenge as they say. There are still days when I miss her like crazy though and I don't think I'll ever be able to trust another human at the same level that I trusted her either. Such is life.
Sorry to hear about your divorce as well.

ALL women love to be shown romantic attention (even if they say otherwise). Just because 'she's not into all that' doesn't mean that you shouldn't randomly show her that she's the only woman for you (notes, flowers, surprise date nights, etc...). Make an effort to show your love and you'll be rewarded ten-fold. When she talks about you to her friends make sure that her friends are always jealous of the stories that she tells them about you. Make everything else around you two disappear when you're together.

There's a lot of good and hilarious advice in this thread. Use it all.
Good Luck and All the best!

That's rough man. mine said yes when she shouldn't have and broke my heart later. Tbh I still haven't recovered. I really loved her quite a lot and I was 100% sure we would spend our lives together. When she dumped me like a bag of trash I was just caught so completely off guard. It still makes no sense to me. That's life though I guess. Hope you found someone that makes you happy since then.

Women are like monkeys my friend. They cling onto one branch until they get a grip on the next. I'm not bitter though.

Pretty much. Such behavior is so alien and dishonorable to me I'll never get it. Everything leading up to my wedding was like a Rocky montage if a random ass dude shot Rocky in the head with a shotgun right after the fight, for like no reason.

Sounds like a world of hurt. I've never came remotely close to marriage but the worst emotional pain I've felt was being spurned by the women I loved (or at least I thought I loved them, now I'm extremely doubtful those feelings of love were pure and true at all but rather the pain I felt was actually the damage inflicted upon my ego).

Whenever she's in the kitchen cooking you up a meal. Go in taste it say it's missing something then do the whole proposal thing

Me.

All could have been avoided if it had been in a box.
