I asked my boyfriend to marry me, I got down on one knee and asked him. He was soo embarrassed that he picked me up kissed me and ran to the store to buy me a ring and ask me himself. \n\nIt was awesome!

If the relationship is right - it would be very flattering.\n\nI kind of like the idea that it's out of the rut.  You know, guys are supposed to hit a knee, take her hand in his, yadda, yadda.\n\nA woman who asks?  Originality!  Big points.\n\nDownside?  If he's not expecting it: Pressure.\n\nAnd what a story down the line - "I never asked her to marry me - she asked me!"  \n\nCool!

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!

It all depends on the female. She may just want attention, she might just want someone to take care of her and buy her things. Every woman wants a guy to propose to them and get married one day. But the key to a female getting what she wants is to be straight foward and honest about it, alot of males, believe it or not are not mind readers.

I don't think so. I would never ever have done it in a million years. If he doesn't propose it is because he doesn't want it. If you want to get married discuss the topic,shop for rings,and discuss it some more,but in the end please leave this one to the guys ladies. I know we live in a world where women are more independent and go after exactly what they want but really I would hope that the guy you are with has enough intiative to tell the women he loves that he wants to marry her. Don't you think that in the back of your mind you would always wonder if he really wanted it and if he ever would have proposed had you not?Good luck!

Maybe you should express courage by telling her how you feel and asking her how she feels.  Try this before you propose to her.

Sure love exists, just sometimes not both ways. You must admit office romances are pretty shaky to begin with. Also I think if you reread your query, you must admit, you sound a bit obsessed. You proposed before knowing about her family? This can be scary to a woman. Probably even more uncomfortable since she works with you. In the same light recognize your own goals and how they differ from hers. Do you really think it would work? Don't give up your dreams of film making, etc. Get on with your life. She is 22 and life still isn't all that serious sometimes. She still has alot going on and may not be ready.

Why would anyone ever propose to someone when they do not know if the other person loves them?\n\nThat is getting a bit ahead of the natural flow of things,and marriage is NOT dating so wait until you KNOW it is right.

bring here to a fancy restaurant but before that, ask the personel of that restaurant to help you make that night such an unforgetable experience to both of you especially to the girl. when youre about to propose, the lights should be turn off, and only the candle on your table will remain lighting, then the staff will then roll down the big white banner with different lights with big letterings asking the girl. "HONEY, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" beleive me, it will work.

Hello DavieT, here is how I proposed to my wife. I had her Mother call her (she didn't know I was going to propose) and keep her busy on the  phone while I sat out a table, two chairs with wine and two glasses on the roof top  of our apartment along with a cd player with our song ready to go. When she was off the phone I led her out to our roof, put on our song and we danced on the roof top. Once the song was over, I went to my knee and propsed! We spent the next two hours sitting there starting to make plans over a glass of wine!\nGood luck in which ever way you decide to go!

You should not propose marriage to a girl that doesn't talk much to you.  The answer will be "NO".  You should learn to know her, go out with her and see if she likes you first.

I'm not a romantic so I know my answer won't be liked, but I say simply ask. I don't even go for the one knee aproach because I don't want one person to be subserviant to the other.  However men are typically clueless to what would excite a woman so they try to do odd things, like the superbowl blimp signs or hidding a ring in food. In the end it can be a fun gotcha I suppose.\n\nDreaming of a fantasy land where the man swings in from a chandeler as pigeons coo in the background and the sun suddenly starts to set will only lead to diaspointment and heart ache when the man isn't seen as romantic enough. Give us guys a break, it's the thought that counts and with a proposal the thought shouldn't be how can I fool her into marrying me, it should be a level headed decision that this is the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with,

Im glad that u asked:) ........  keep in mind that woman have always had a vision of the way that they want to be proposed and an idea of their ideal wedding.....also keep in mind that woman enjoy the fantasy......\n\nso....u must be created....make sure that u really think thru how u will propose to her......for example.....renting a limo to take her out to dinner to a nice 5 star restaraunt....then maybe a qiuet intimate spot where you guys have a beautiful midnight scene going on...couple wit the mood being right.....hit her up with the ring....now thats just an example....the idea or key rather, is to be creative and keep in mind that woman LOVE the fairytale.....\n\nHoller Back\nSincere

If you are Christian yes. But only if you love her , have been knowing her for at least a year or two and are compatible on the important things in life. Sometimes ppl think opposites attract, that relation does not last, because eventually opposites end up hating each other. \nHowever If you really wanted to get married you would not be asking here.\nTHINK OF IT MORE BEFORE YOU PROPOSE

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.
