Proposing to my girlfriend (Advice from Women)
I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend on valentines day, and I have planned out in my head how i am going to do it, so I will explain, and please let me know what you think about it, is there anything I should or shouldn't do.
So, I was thinking of finding a way to get her out of the house for 15 minutes or so (ask her to nip to the shop or something), then when she returns, she will start to hear the music of Percy Sledge - When a man loves a women Then I will walk into the room wearing a tux, and holding a rose, with the ring in the blazer pocket, then I will make a little speech confessing my love for her, then pull the ring out of my pocket, and open the box as i get down on one knee, then ask her to marry me
What do you think? Does it seem too cheesy?
Thanks

if you want to marry her, why wait - just ask her now, and then take her to pick an engagement ring.
I wouldn't pre-buy a ring - I am sure shw would like to pick her own.
good luck, anyway. many happy years together.
(male perspective, though)
ds wedding party online i think ... no hats needed ... jammies & a crate of drinks lol
Well I was thinking of doing it on her birthday (Feb 11th) or valentines day
Why not do it on her birthday, do you plan on having a party?
How long have you been together?
I thought valentines day would be more romantic
We don't really do birthday parties lol, and we've been together for 2 and a half years, and just had a baby boy in december
Well I hope she says "yes":D:D
Aww Cubz I always dreamt of you asking me,good luck mate and hope it works out,
Um... honestly, yes. But that kind of thing depends on the girl. She might love it. But if my boyfriend was playing that song (which unless you know she likes it, don't play; it's absolutely dreadful) wearing a tuxedo I'd be a bit thrown off by it all. But I'm not that type of girl at all; the type who goes for all that classic 'romance' concept, and it all sounds a bit too contrived in my opinion.
But you know your girlfriend, not us. Like I said, she could love it. I know I would hate it though; it's very un-me and I'd hope my boyfriend would know me well enough to know that.
how sweet.
Whitstable beach, very nice
I think it is, bit quirky:) it's also beautiful at sunset, but then not everyone appreciates that sort of thing which is why the OP should decide what he thinks his girlfriend would like more.
I've got to admit the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful along the coast. I'm just down the road from there in Herne Bay.
They certainly are. I would definately prefer that over a man in a tux with a Rose and some cheesy song in the background, for starters, I would wonder who abducted my other half!:eek::D
hahaha
I say go for her birthday, Valentines she might suspect it. Cook her a meal (get rid of the baby for the night!) make the night all about her!
Choose another date that will be special just to the two of you.
The day before I hid a bottle on the beach with a scroll inside; decorated with shells and a ribbon. I waited until the right moment and told her the angels might of left something and pointed to the area where it was. While she was doing that I got the ring out of my bag and waited. She came back and read the scroll which said how much she means to me and other mushy words. I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. She said yes, I took out the champagne and flutes and we toasted our future together and cuddled up as the sun set over the sea.
I didn't want the obvious where she might of expected me to do it. It was a huge surprise and she loved it. It doesn't have to be expensive, just memorable and special to the both of you. Good luck...
As others have said, you know her best and although it might be cheesy she will remember you making a big effort. I proposed without ceremony in our kitchen with a bunch of flowers from the local garage, and have been reminded of it on occasions and marked down for my lack of effort or imagination
Ah, now that is romantic - I'm welling up here!
Go for it. This will make a memory for you both. And you SHOULD be slushy and cheesy and romantic when you propose.
Hope all goes well!
