Are you planning to getting engaged?
Are you feeling excited, anxious, stressed, on top of the world, unsure? about how to propose?
How do I propose
When building up to proposing to your loved one, the feelings of anxiety and excitement are not uncommon, and on top of all that, there are so many questions for example what about engagement rings?
I am often told by some of my friends “I want to propose but don’t know how!” all these are quite normal emotions when you are thinking of popping the question, so let’s look at some options of helping you out. It’s such an exciting time but you want to get it right! You need to remember there’s no right way to propose, it’s what works for you.
Do you go down the romantic gesture in an intimate moment, or just spontaneously jump in, how do you choose? It’s all about how well do you know your partner? What are their likes and dislikes?
Think of everything they like for example: are they a hopeless romantic and like intimate and heartfelt moments, or not? What is their favourite type of movie, novel or music, have they a favourite meal or venue, a favourite thing to do or a place to go, or do they just like fun and “you time”.
Where do I propose?
You could use a scenario to test the water by talking about a friend at work for instance and make up a story about how they were going to propose and see your partners reaction.
The main thing is that everyone is different and regardless what anyone else does or says it’s all about you and your partner and what will work for you no matter what that maybe.
There is no hard and fast rule apart from don’t propose at a big family event if it might not suit your partner because they are quite shy or don’t have such a great relationship with their family, but equally it could be the perfect place and time.
Maybe there is somewhere both enjoy going for a day out or a lovely meal. Some partners love a public show of affection, but for others it’s really not them. So, you really need to think about where to propose and how.
There is not a right or wrong way
All this will hopefully give you an idea where to start.
If there is something they may not like, then don’t plan to propose in that way, regardless of what everyone else says or does.
It will be what works for you and your partner. There is no standard right or wrong way to propose to the love of your life.
