5 Steps Before you Propose to Her

Times have changed and so have our roles in relationships. Here are a few ideas to help you come up with the perfect marriage proposal:

1. Check Yourself

You are about to propose spending the rest of your lives together to this woman, forever. So make sure that you are in the right head space to actually make this kind of commitment. I can’t imagine anything worse than finding yourself at the altar only to realize that marriage is not for you.

    2.    Be positive she is ready

Okay, you can never really know when your girlfriend is ready for the next step. But you can have conversations tip-toeing around it and get a sense of how she feels about marriage.  Don’t only rely on your eagerness to be a Mr. that will only leave you hurt. So, pay attention to her feelings and responses to the subject.

   3.   Try to keep it simple

There’s a need for a circus show or huge daunting crowd when proposing to a woman. The fact that you are proposing will be enough of a surprise for her - you don’t want to send her running.

4.    Try to make sure she is comfortable

Take her out to a place that she usually goes to relax. A familiar spot, like a place where she enjoys hiking or has some kind of special meaning for her, and add special meaning to the proposal.

5.    Confidence is key

You may start to doubt yourself. Your thoughts can easily get the better of you. While planning it, take time to get your positive thoughts running and affirm to yourself that this is what you want. Don’t ever let the thought of being rejected get the best of you.

And if she does say No, be grateful that she didn't just jump into something she wasn't ready for. A proposal means that your relationship has reached a point where you can talk about anything. See this as an opportunity for you to work and build your relationship until you are both ready to jump the broom.
