A Man's Guide To Getting Engaged (Soon)
Wedding season is almost upon us, which means that there will be just one thing on ladies’ minds. If you think that you and your girlfriend are ready to take things to the next level, you might want to seal the deal. Getting engaged is a massive decision, and so you’d better not rush into it. You need to spend some time thinking about whether it is right for you or now. If you think that the time is right, let’s start planning.
Have you been together long enough?
First, you ought to think about whether you have been together long enough. There is no set amount of time you have to be together before you wed, but you should keep in mind that you need to be comfortable with one another. If you just met your girlfriend last week, you should maybe wait a while before you ask her to be your wife. If you’ve met her family and know her great aunt, Mary, though, you may as well ask her. There’s no right time to get engaged, and so only you can decide if you’re ready.
Choosing the right time to pop the question
People remember their wedding proposal for the rest of their life, and so you need to make sure that it is as special as possible. You don’t want to ask your lady to marry you when you’re watching TV – that is anything but the romantic scene she wants to remember. Instead, choose a time that is right for the two of you. It might be while you are on vacation or a long, romantic walk. Make sure that it is a time she will recall with adoration, not something she’ll want to forget.
Create the perfect, romantic setting
If you plan on popping the question at home, you need to spruce the place up and make things a little romantic. Light some candles and cook her a meal. Buy her some flowers. Do anything you can to make the evening the most romantic night of her life. You could even go as far as sprinkling rose petals through the house. These little touches might mean nothing to you, but they will mean the world to her. If she is the ‘one’ for you, she deserves to feel special. Make it happen.
Pick the best engagement ring
Choosing an engagement ring can be tricky, especially if you don’t happen to know your girlfriend’s ring size. If she already had rings, you may have to borrow one and take it to the jewelers with you. An expert should tell you what size she is. Custom made engagement rings are always popular since they are unique and cute. You can help to design the perfect ring for your special lady. That means that there will be no one else in the world with the same engagement ring as her.
What if she says no?
Okay, you have to consider the unthinkable. There is a chance that your girlfriend will say no to your proposal, but don’t worry about it. If you are not on the same page, it doesn’t mean that it will be the end of your relationship. If you two are soul mates, you can deal with almost anything. If anything, the proposal will make you guys talk about your relationship in serious terms. If she is not ready for marriage yet, that’s not to say that she won’t be one day. Be honest and open about how you feel.
Now that you have read this guide, you need to go ahead and ask her. Some people spend ages trying to decide when they will make things official. If you’re ready, it’s time to get serious!
