How to propose
How to propose
1. First things first: ask her parents' permission. If they support the idea and want their daughter to marry you, they'll probably be happy to give you their blessing. But if they're not keen on the idea or think it's too soon after meeting you, don't push it!
2. Choose a ring that fits you. The best way to find out is to give her a promise ring 6 or 3 months in advance so you can find out her ring size. If she wears rings, you could take one with you when choosing it, which will make the search easier. Take into account your partner's tastes and every detail.
3. Invite your partner in a very special way so she doesn't suspect a thing. Pay attention to every detail, from her outfit to her nails. Make an appointment with her favorite stylist and buy her the perfect outfit that you imagine will fit the venue and the nail color for the photo when you give your future fiancée the ring. A good excuse is to tell her you'll invite her to dinner with your friends or to some important family event.
4. Decide where and when: wherever you both feel comfortable and at home, meaning don't limit yourself to where you live or work. Your partner will also want to enjoy the moment, so it would be best if it were a place familiar to them, not just you. The location is much more important than the gift; it's better if the setting is meaningful to both of you. Typically, the most popular places are restaurants, beaches, or parks. The decor is also important for the occasion, as it will make it harmonious and appropriate for the location. You can draw inspiration from photos, appropriate for the place where you plan to propose. If it's at the beach, you could rent light-up letters that spell the word "Will you marry me?", facing the ocean with roses in the sand. If it's at their favorite restaurant, don't forget to book ahead and ask if it's a place to propose to your partner. The waiters can also help you surprise them. You could also arrange for a violinist or a band to play your favorite song together.
And that's it. You're ready to make your declaration, and I hope these tips have helped you get an idea of how to do it. Prepare for any answer your partner gives you. Remember, even if you don't feel ready or confident enough to declare yet, don't worry: if they want to, they'll be there for you. Keep practicing and trying until you feel ready.
