How Do I Ask My Girlfriend to Marry Me?

Let's face it when a woman tells her girlfriends she's engaged the first question they ask is..... How did he propose?

So as a man you are probably sitting there asking yourself "How do I ask my girlfriend to marry me?" It's tough on the guy you have to come up with a pretty darn good way or face the chatter of her friends! You don't want your girlfriend to be embarrassed to explain to her friends how you ask her to marry you, or even worse she has to make up something interesting and lie to them!

1) Romantic- First off whatever you do DON'T ask her friends for advice, you need to come up with this marriage proposal idea all on your own, well at least in her eyes. It's ok to search for ideas but don't go asking her friends or anyone she knows. You want this moment to be between you and her not her friends. If it is tradition in her family to ask the father first then by all means ask him but don't let the cat out of the bag anymore than that.

2) Memorable. You want her to be the envy of all her friends and you want her to always look back on the proposal with a smile on her face. Thinking about how special she felt and how romantic it was. You want to catch her off guard when you pop the question. It doesn't have to be in front of a bunch of people, it can be just you and her!

The Internet is filled with great proposal ideas for every budget but here is one idea to get you thinking in the right direction:

Dancing is just plain romantic and women love it. Start paying attention to her favorite love songs. Plan a romantic meal or picnic and bring your CD player .Take her somewhere special the two of you can be alone and after the meal ask her to dance even if you have two left feet - do it - she Will love you for it. Once the song stops playing get down on one knee, tell her how you feel and ask your girlfriend to marry you! It can be somewhere special to the two of you or a new place. The idea here is to make her feel incredibly loved.
