“Will you marry me?”

Do those four little words make you nervous? Are you thinking about asking your significant other to be with you forever? Well have no fear, with a few simple tips and things to keep in mind, popping the question will be a breeze!

She Probably Won’t be Completely Surprised

If you have been together long enough to be thinking about getting married, it’s almost guaranteed that she has not only thought about it, but gone through scenarios in her head of how the proposal will play out. So it’s safe to say that she knows it’s coming, but she doesn’t know the details. With that in mind, don’t choose cliche things for your proposal. For example, if you make reservations at the fanciest restaurant in town and get a limousine to pick her up, she’ll know it’s coming. If you want an honest surprise, don’t give any hints!

Size Does Matter

Is diamond size less important than its quality? Not in most cases. Your lady will be so happy to get engaged, yes, but she will want a rather large diamond. After all, diamonds are a girls best friend! On the other hand, if you are going through tough economic times, you can always buy a ring that is within your budget with a promise. Promise her that when money isn’t so tight, you two can pick out a new one if she wants.

Ask Her Input on the Ring

Yes, there are some women who want to be totally surprised when it comes to the ring you pick for her. But there are others who want at least a small say in what they get. Whether it means you both go ring shopping together, or you ask her preferences for style, metal, and color, she will most likely appreciate having some input. It’s a life long accessory, think of it that way. You want it to be something she loves!

Ask Her Dad

Do you think asking your girlfriend’s father for her hand is an out of date tradition? It’s not! Over 80% of women surveyed said they would like their father to be asked. It might not be a bad idea to ask her mother, as well. Don’t be afraid of it, though, if you make their daughter happy, chances are, they’ll give you their blessings.

One Knee Isn’t Enough

Just the gesture of getting down on one knee and presenting the ring might not be enough for your woman. Most likely she will want you to ask her the question. That way, your intentions are completely clear.

All in all, the best thing to do when contemplating how and when to propose, is to think of what your girlfriend likes and wants. Keep her in mind and things will most likely be perfect!
