Your Ultimate Guide To Popping The Question

When it comes to popping the question, it’s fair to say that most guys find there is nothing more nerve-wracking. There is the fear of the answer being no, but that’s not the whole story. Guys worry that the ring won’t be right, or the proposal words won’t come out as they’d hoped. Worse still, there’s the fear that they’ve misread the relationship altogether, and it ends.

For most men, the setting for the proposal is important. They want it to be memorable and romantic. The music, lighting, and timing have to all be just perfect. Some guys book a table at a classy restaurant. Others want to propose more publicly at a family gathering. Sometimes it’s best to pick a favorite place and surprise her there.

Getting the ring right is simple. A good quality, genuine diamond from a designer that really knows about jewelry is essential. There are several different cuts, but the Princess and Oval are the most popular this season. The choice of gold is important too. If most of her jewelry is in yellow gold, then stick with that. Platinum is an excellent alternative.

Some guys might worry about when to present the ring. Traditionally, the man would address his young lady with words of endearment. He might say how she makes him feel, or how his life is complete with her. He will then drop onto one knee and open the ring box as he asks her “will you marry me.”

There have been lots of movies that have featured proposals. Who can forget Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in ‘When Harry Met Sally’? It was the most romantic thing in the world, even though Crystal’s character hadn’t even realized he was in love with her that way. There was no ring and no fanfare, but it was sincere and heartfelt. It was about the choice of words.

Many movie proposals seem to stem from a moment of sudden realization. But the proposal that is considered and matched with a ring is deemed to be the best way to go. A girl needs to know you’ve been thinking long and hard about this decision rather than it being a whim! So prepare your speech, and make it count.

Things to include in your proposal could be about her strength of character or her endearing personality. Perhaps she makes you smile or has a talent for cheering you up? You can comment on her beauty but try to make it a little deeper than classifying the color of her eyes. You might want to talk about the moment you fell in love with her.

Try to include how you see your future together. You might want to say that you want to be by her side forever, or enjoy growing old as a happy couple. You can find lots of inspiration for romantic words online, but make them meaningful to your experience as a couple.

A proposal can be terrifying to do, but most women will welcome your efforts and appreciate what you are saying. If you’re ready to make the ultimate commitment to your partner, then start planning that special moment now. Good luck!
