Many men use Valentine’s Day as the day to propose to their loved one. After all, it is the most romantic day time of the year and it is a day time you will always remember as the special day time that you decided to become one. So, what are some romantic ways to propose on Valentine's Day?
Here is a list of three ways to propose about Valentine’s Day that will definitely thrill your girlfriend.
Do it in front of her family
This all depends on how traditional your girlfriend is, of course. If she does not get along well with her family, this is a bad strategy. But, if you know she is very near to her mother, father, siblings, grandparents, cousins, etc., this can be a great idea. Have them help you plan the special day.
Assign one of them to ask her to come to a family reunion on Valentine’s Day in order to get everyone together. Inform them of the real strategy, but have them keep the secret from your girlfriend. When she tells you about the “reunion”, complain a bit about the “reunion” becoming on Valentine’s Day, but do not over do it to the stage where she decides not to go.
If that happens, remind her that family is important and even though you would rather take her to a romantic dinner alone, you will go to the “reunion”. If you are extremely traditional, ask her parents for her hand in marriage before the party.
Let the reunion go on for a while, so she really believes it is real. Designate a time when you are going to pop the query and inform the others beforehand (so they know it will happen) like when you put on a particular song or say something in particular.
Then, drop to one knee; tell her how unique she is and that you’ve already received her parent’s permission to ask for her hand. Tell her you love her, request her to marry you and give her the ring. Chances are she will say yes and the whole space will burst into applause.
Make sure in advance you have spoken to someone in the family about taking images or a video when you request so you will have the moment preserved on film.
Plan a weekend getaway
If Valentine’s Day time is on the weekend, strategy a getaway destination such as Las Vegas or Miami. This is a terrific way to propose if she likes performing spontaneous things and loves to travel. Don’t tell her until Friday afternoon when she gets off work.
Pick her up at the office and say the girl has 30 minutes to get packed, you have planned a weekend trip. To do this you will need to plan several things in advance.
You will need to get either airline tickets, train tickets (traveling by train can be quite romantic), or get the driving directions. Make sure you have reservations at a romantic hotel.
For example, if you are going to Miami, try to get an area on the beach. If you are going to Las Vegas, try to get a suite on the Strip at one of the nice hotels. You will have to have the stuff you will need for the weekend packed - including the ring. Hopefully, she will be so excited by the trip, she will feel that can be what the weekend is about. But, at a great romantic moment, just like a walk on the beach front or in front of the Bellagio when the fountains are going off, propose to her.
If you are in Las Vegas, you may also get married there the same weekend.
Borrow from her favourite click flick
Most women love romantic click flicks and many include a proposal. If you know a movie she loves that has a romantic proposal scene, reenact it with her. If My Best Friend’s Wedding is her favorite movie, just holler out 'Will you marry me?' as she is getting in her car to drive away.
It is even better if she is getting on the train (which is how the movie version actually moves). If An Officer and a Gentleman is definitely her favorite movie, walk in to her office, just pick and choose her up in your arms, and carry her out. As you are carrying her out, request her to marry you.
For this, you should probably consult her boss 1st. If she loves Sex and the City and you have a puppy, take the dog out for a walk with her. When you quit to bend over and scoop the poop, pull out the ring just like Aidan did for Carrie.
If you are not sure what her favourite chick flick is, ask. You can always use the premise that you will be thinking about buying her the DVD copy for Valentine’s Day. Be sure to ask for a few of her favorites to make sure to find one which has a romantic proposal.
Proposing on Valentine’s Day time is a great idea and one that your girlfriend will surely love. If you have the right setting, it can be very romantic and something that you both will tell your grandchildren about one day.
