96dcm Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi, I'm a girl wanting to propose to my boyfriend. I was previously engaged and it did not end well so I've been skittish about engagement/marriage for awhile. A couple months ago my boyfriend proposed in his own way, and I said yes, but was still a little worried and he knew this. Now I'm no longer worried and want to show him. I believe actions speak better than words, so I was thinking about proposing back to him...if that makes any sense to anyone but me. I've searched the web and things but they're all mainly guy-proposing-to-girls ideas (of course) and involve cute ring ideas (no ring involved here). I came up with a couple of ideas but I'm looking for more. Help me brainstorm please! a) write the proposal in sidewalk chalk in our parking space (although I'd need to find a way to make sure he got out of his car and not just parked on top of it without noticing). b) taking wash-off glow-in-the-dark crayons and writing it above our bed/on the wall behind the tv etc. c) make a recording of "our" song and ask at the end, put it on a cd, and tape it to his steering wheel one morning. Thanks! Link to comment
Boughs Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Simple route of getting him a christmas card that says all you're thankful for and at the end say "marry me?" Link to comment
Survictor Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Turn up at his door, have your special song on CD. You would be dressed in a coat, furry boots and a Santa hat and raise hand written signs Like: Please don't say anything...... I just wanted to tell you I love you..... Very, very much...... And....... Wanted to ask you...... If you would be...... my husband?...... I love you xxxx And then undo your coat, where you are tied around the middle with a bow .... his gift with a smile from you. How could he resist? Saw something like this in "Love Actually"... I think that was what it was called Link to comment
96dcm Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Survictor- that's a really cute idea. I might do something similar, although we live together and he'd be like why in the world is she knocking... Link to comment
yeawutever Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Written things usually are taken the wrong way, it isn't the same as saying it in person. I would say have a wonderful Christmas with him, where both of you get drunk and then say to him "I just wanted to tell you something', when he says "what is it", say "Will you marry me".
