How should I propose to my boyfriend?

da_shivsta · 26-05-2009 09:15PM

Leave her alone. There is nothing wrong with girls proposing....grow the f*ck up everyone. Obviously you're ready OP who cares about age etc. I'm with you,. Love knows no age etc! Now, I say maybe just order a nice dinner in or make it, whatever, and ask him then before desert... that way at least if he says yes then your desert will be twice as nice and if not...you have somethin to make you feel a little better.....:)

All terrific ideas. Well done all and sundry.

This thread is testament to the folly of posting in after hours threads that really should be in the Ladies Lounge with other classics such as what shoulder do you wear your handbag on and how often do you wash your bra.

But we all get silly ideas at 23 and think, oh this will be fine.........

think of this forum choice, aye and its consequences, as a educational experience. Me thinks that the analogy will be lost on you though.

If I'd been here instead of flamebaiting noobs on another thread 20 minutes ago it would have been moved. But I can't censor the carnagebeauty now.

When the shark jumps out of the water...

Steps to ultimate success:

1)Have a day out with a male relative and your boyfriend. You can even pack a picnic if you want to. The male relative should preferrably be the driver.

2)Ask the driver to go to a multi storey carpark, and park on the roof as you just love the views.

3)Have male relative violently drag boyfriend out of car and proceed to dangle him by his Converse shoes over the edge of the roof.

At stage 3, you are safe to joyfully startle your male relative and boyfriend with the lovely engagement ring. Best of luck

Kick him in the face and see how it goes from there.

If you propose and he says yes then his other girlfriends might think he'll marry them too. Best to leave it be.

You're in Athlone? Does your fella like riding hippos?

Banter Joe · 26-05-2009 10:10PM

Tell him you're breaking up with him.

And then if he does the whole..."Please..No..I can change, I'll do anything..."

Reply with: "Anything, you say. Well in that case..."

And take it from there.

Might be too drastic.

Your only stuck with some weirdo for the rest of your life if ye get it wrong ..... go for it.

If he's the right guy he'll still be the right guy in 5 years time

I blame Ali McBeal. Before that was on tv women just accepted their lot, now they have body clocks and **** like that.

23 girl, give it a year or two and then rhink about it, marriage is what couples do when they run out of fun things to do together.

3qsmavrod5twfe · 26-05-2009 10:33PM

Get a tattoo on your forehead that says "marry me"

either that or tell him your on the rag and you encourage him to use the tradesman's entrance. Then he has to marry you cos its the law.

hey there fellow peeps, I am a 23 year old girl who feels the time is right no propose to my boyfriend, I dont wanna wait for the next leap year so I just gonna do it now, any suggestions on how I should do it....funny ideas welcome :-) x x

You obviously love your bf, no question. Nobody can here can say when its the right time for you both, but I know I wouldn't. Theres nothing wrong with a girl proposing to a guy per sé, but my view on it would be to leave it up to him to do the proposing. When he does, it means hes ready for it.

The whole thing scares the living shyte out of me though, and I'm 29.

Snowie · 26-05-2009 11:12PM

I dunno ask him half way through sex

Toots · 26-05-2009 11:13PM

I'm 23 and got engaged last November, getting married next October.

Don't let your age put you off, if you feel it's right go for it. How long are you with him? The only thing I'll say is there's no point in doing it until you're realistically prepared to get married, ie can afford it, have somewhere to live etc. There's no point popping the question now and not getting married for another 10 years.

Seems from the smutty comments

most replying to this thread are male. Well take it from a fellow lady and DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!! EVER!!! I know a girl who did it and she thought she was being original and romantic etc over a leap year and she became a laughing stock. It's just one of those things that just shouldn't be done.

he'll do it himself when he is ready.. simple as..:cool:

stupidsometimes · 27-05-2009 02:02PM

If marriage hasn't been talked about before in the relationship then don't do it. Unless he has expressed keen interest in marriage then there is a high chance he will say no.

There is a reason why it is traditionally men that propose......it is because they are complete and utter scaredy cats of commitment. One wrong movement and you can scare them off forever

Find yourself a building with a large flat roof and paint on it Will you Marry me, get a helicopter ride and pass that way and tell him to look out, that's what I did.

the_syco · 27-05-2009 02:25PM

Propose to him on March 14th?

johnny_knoxvile · 27-05-2009 02:45PM

Ask him would he like to wear the ring off you

(sorry bad grammar)

tell him you would be delighted if he would wear your ring.

Forget it, stay single.

Tbh....if a guy wants to get married he'll ask you. Otherwise he'll probably be really freaked and think you like making stewed rabbit.

star.chaser · 27-05-2009 04:58PM

go and rent yourself a tux, find yourself an old walking cane, a tophat and a fake beard. call to the front door when he's home alone. when he answers, deepen your voice and speaking in an old english accent go: hello darling, would you like to marry me?
