Do you like that cute guy in college? Has he ever told you the same? Do you want him to know your feelings? If yes, then what are you waiting for?
Living in the 21st century, we hope you are not living in the old taboos of ‘it is the guy who says it first’, right? You are the same woman who fights for equality, then what’s stopping you from proposing the guy?
All our lives, we ladies keep thinking about our prince charming, our knight in shining armor, our own Ryan Gosling but what do we do when we finally meet them? We wait for them to claim us as their princess, but what if they don’t? Will you just keep waiting forever? The answer is NO!!
If you like him, then it’s essential for you to let him know about your feelings. The simplest way of doing this is by flirting with him. Flirting is the most fun and creative way of expressing your intentions to your cutie pie. It also helps both of you to loosen out and freely express yourselves.
Once you are sure about the guy, you can always be the first one to ask him out. Yes, it’s all about the time that you two share together and not about who says it first. As a matter of fact, guys are all in for girls who do not shy away from what they feel. So, all you girls out there, you know what to do. Just when you think you are falling heads over heels with his sexy voice, or his intense eyes, or maybe his oh-so-hot body, just propose him before someone else does. But, how do you propose a guy? Here’s all about it.
Just before, your super-excited self, go for the big step, sit back and introspect. Yes, you like him, he’s cute, he’s caring, he wishes you goodnight, and you cannot keep yourself from thinking about him all day. Is this enough to finally pop the question? Yes, it is ladies. If he takes your drama, agrees to what you order, and goes out for shopping with you, just know that he’s the one.
Are you sorted? Move ahead only if your answer is a YES!
We have all grown up watching romantic movies, where the guy proposes the girl in the fanciest ways possible and why so? Because she likes it that way. So, now that you plan to propose the guy, you have to make it about him. Know what he likes, if he likes it fancy or should you stick to basics. Plan a surprise dinner or a date night which is all about him; his favorite restaurant, his choice of food with the kind of music he likes. It’ll surely set the mood right and make him feel really special.
We surely would want him to be in his best mood when we propose right? Let the date be more about him than being about the proposal. Let things flow naturally.
Spontaneity is great, but when it comes to a marriage proposal, we’d all want things to be just perfect, won’t we? Popping the big question is a big deal and the nervousness is natural. Keeping things well planned will help you catch up with the flow. Just plan the whole idea and talk to the people that will be involved.
#1. First things first, the venue. You obviously need a place, the perfect venue to propose to him. Pick a place that has significance to both of you; it could be the place for your first date or the first kiss. The place being already special to both of you will provide a great segue to your proposal.
#2. Timing is everything. While proposing him for marriage, you would want him to happy, relaxed, calm and all into you. So pick a time when he’s in his best mood. Don’t choose a place or a time slot that may have distractions or stress.
#3. Set the mood right. You can always use scented candles, some nice music, with a dash of champagne and you are good to go. Just like foreplay is to making love, setting the mood right is to making the final move.
#4. Keep it clear. If you are planning a grand or a dramatic proposal, then make sure all the people involved knows what they are expected to do. Try not involving a lot of people, but make sure the ones who are involved do not mess it up.
Ahaan! If you are not the one who believes in candlelight dinners and dancing in the rains, then make it happen your way. Just to keep it interesting, you can always dirty text your guy and get him in the mood. Put your curves and sexy moves to some good use and make him say “I do.”
Maybe your guy not only rules your heart but the treks too, or maybe he is a water baby, or what if just loves to eat. Use his hobbies to make the proposal super interesting. Take him out for swimming or trekking and arrange for a treasure hunt ending into a marriage proposal. If he’s a foodie, then use his favorite food items to pop the question. Just imagine his reaction when his favorite apple cinnamon pie comes with a “Will you marry me”? Will he ever be able to say no, to you and the pie? We are so sure about the YES ladies.
A marriage proposal involves a lot of emotions and feelings that you both have for each other. A proposal is all about embracing those feelings and promising to keep them alive for the rest of your lives. While you plan to propose your guy, you can always keep it private. Just make it about the two of you and nobody else. This will not only give a chance to both of you to relish and enjoy your moments but will also keep him away from the pressure of other people’s expectations.
And once he says yes, you can shout it out from the rooftops!
Now that’s something you know the best. If your guy is the “enjoying the little moments” or “going all the way to make it special” type. Plan your proposal based on his choices. If he believes in keeping it simple, then just take a day out together, tell him how you feel about him and pop the big question. You’ll already be breathing nervousness in and out, so keeping it simple will help you stay away from the pressure of making it grand.
On the other hand, if your superman likes to fly high, make it a grand thing. Let your proposal ooze out grandeur. Book a movie theatre or a restaurant and say it loud. Arrange for his favorite band or a flash mob, to tell him that you love him. He is surely going to love it.
You know that it’s the right time and the right guy, but you still want to give him time to think, try using a symbolic gift instead of the ring. While proposing to a guy, you can always use symbolic gifts like a wristwatch, or an engraved lighter or something that you made yourself. A gift will ensure that you have said what you wanted and if he agrees, he will surely get the chance to lock the final deal with a ring. Moreover, a gift will keep reminding him of your love and will create a memory for the both of you.
We hope you are all set to make the final move and propose to your guy. Do not let nervousness stop you from popping the question. You know you want him, and you want to do it for him, so let the butterflies flutter inside your belly.
Life’s all about taking risks, and if the risk is about gaining the love of your life, it’s all worth it.
