How exciting...Most women expect to be proposed on Valetines day, try making it fun and a surprise so she will be overwhelmed...

If you are talking about proposing marriage, I would say don't do it. You need to be with this girl and spend months together to make sure that it is the right thing to do.\nNow if it is only proposing to be a boyfriend to her, I would say you could easily tell her that you really enjoy the time that you two talk on the phone and would like to know if she would want to be her boyfriend. But I still reccommend that you come face to face with her. I don't know if you live close or not but unless you do, you probably shouldn't expect this relationship to go full bloom.

What ur daugther says seems logical.The reason behind her asking this may be her insecurity once u enter into another relationship.And as far as the person who has given u the proposal may not want to jeopardise this relationship with u for this reason . As the old saying goes the greater the distance more the love.But also make it a point to discuss this issue with his youngest son in order to avoid trouble on a later date . GoodLuck.

There's no one right way.  You obviously know her better than anyone here.  Girls seem to like a surprise though, so try to be casual/normal that day, so she doesn't suspect something is going on.  Take her somewhere that's meaningful to her, or to you both.  It doesn't have to be anywhere fancy, just somewhere special to You guys.  Just have fun together.  When you are ready, find a quiet moment, make direct eye contact, and tell her how you feel about her... whatever it is that you love about her that makes you want to propose in the first place.  There's no wrong things to say if it all comes from the heart.  Then ask her :)    \nBest wishes!

At this point, my perfect proposal would be, "Hey honey, lets go to Reno this weekend and get married!!"\n\nWe have been together 10.5 years and it is like come on, lets just do it! We know we will and we aren't offically engaged, but it is just a matter of time.\n\nI of course would love like a romantic dinner out and he propose that way!

Who knows?  Maybe you guys really aren't ready to get engaged.  There's alot of pressure on couples when they get engaged.  People EXPECT that you're getting married pretty soon and they want to know a date and they want to know what you're planning for the wedding.  It sounds like your man shouldn't have promised something that he wasn't sure about.  It's unfair to say that "by this date we will get engaged" because things happen.  It doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't want to get engaged, it just means what he said, you guys aren't ready.  Maybe there's financial reasons behind that.  But a really good solution to this problem (because I know you are disappointed) is if your boyfriend still wants to get engaged and married in the future....he should buy you a promise ring.  My boyfriend and I have been together for four years and we're not ready to get engaged or married yet either.  But a promise ring lets you and your friends and family know that you guys are planning to get married one day, just not right now.  I wear my promise ring on my left ring finger like an engagement ring and I'm very happy with it.  I think you would be too.  Sit tight dear, you'll get married one day.

How about a nice romantic candlelit dinner, followed up with some relaxing music. Than maybe go for an evening stroll outside when all the stars are shining bright n' the moon is out. Than propose.\nThat's just an idea.\n\nGirls love that stuff though. IF you don't wanna go to the extreme, like annoucing will you marry me up in da sky or at a baseball game. Than the first thing I mention would be a special moment between the two of you.\nDon't forget some flowers! We love that too...

I think it depends on the couple. If they have certain things that they really enjoy doing together, 'their things' can be kind of romantic and personally enticing for a proposal. Your man doing something romantic, like including your favorite flower or meal because he remembered that you liked it would be very heartwarming.

See if it seems mutual and if there is chemistry. this is not an unusual circumstance. many folks link up this way and get married, who knows

You would propose to her like any other woman. Take her to a nice restaurant or walk in the park/beach. Then when you feel that the time is right, tell her how much you love her and wouldn't change one thing about her. You could then tell her that you want to spend the rest of your life with her and so on, use feeling that come from the heart. Then ask, will you marry me? Whether in English or Spanish, it doesn't matter because it came from within and that's a language we all speak. Hope she says, yes!

it depends on the situation but hoping they both love each other to the fullest.my point of view: \n\nthe boy should propose first if he think that he is ready for commitment or if he think that their love is strong enough to validate his purpose.\n\nthe girl should propose first if she think that his love is for real but his self-confidence is not high enough or if she think that she is ready to accept the responsibility.\n\nbut the impact of proposing is highly recommendable for both parties if they are confident enough to say yes...\ngood luck..

The better question is, do *you* think now is the right time to propose to your girlfriend!

There is no way to MAKE him propose to you. If he is not ready, then you should not make him ask you because it will end in heartbreak, no doubt about it. You can let him know you are ready by telling him, so he can think about it on his own terms. When, and if, he is ready, he will ask. Do NOT do anything that makes him feel guilty or make him think he has to or else (unless you honestly consider it worth the risk to lose him, then you can give him that ultimatum). \n\nRemember, this is not just about you. He is also apart of this. He needs to be comfortable and happy with asking you, and this is something he will so when and if he is ready. Have you two already talked about getting married? If so, then its a matter of time. Maybe he is saving up to buy the ring, or waiting for a special time. If you have not discussed it already, bring it up. Ask him if he wants to marry you someday (don't put a time limit on it just yet) or if he can picture a future with you. If he says yes, maybe over time discuss it more. If he is not sure, give him time. Let him know you love him and would love to spend your life with him, but you understand he needs his time. Never rush him, since he may do it to make you happy, but later call off the whole wedding because he is terrified and not really ready. What would you prefer, waiting to get engaged later and him being completely ready for the commitment or asking now and calling it off months later, ruining your whole relationship just because he felt rushed?

I believe that either of them is good. People should avoid emphasis on forcing it on a particular gender to propose to the other one. The bottom line is for the proposing to be done and a relationship deeply rooted in love be established - regardless of which of them started it.

Okay first this is a decision totally based upon when he feels ready. Pressuring him will make the sitiation intensely more difficult But the good news is he actually sounds as if he is planning something...I was very confused just like you before my fiance proposed he always made it clear to me that it would eventually happen just not as soon as I wanted but sure enough he proposed..So let him do this at his own pace..Your realtionship sounds solid so just give him the time he needs this is a HUGE step for both of you....I have a feeling congradualtions will be something you will hear soon!

If you love each other it doesn't matter the price of the ring.What's important is the way you make the proposal.Just think about a romantic place and a romantic way of giving her the ring.About the size... don't worry.Look at her fingers and you'll know the size.Good luck!
