This is really for the guys because the expectation is that they do the asking. I think it is just natural. Anyway what you say when you propose marriage is really up to the way you have been relating with the woman/fiancée. You basically have seen a number of pointers that tell you that she is giving you the “come and ask for it”. Women by nature want long term commitment. However you say it, she wants to know that you are
1. In it for the long haul. Once you are in and the ship is sinking, you will go down trying to save it.
2. You are going to love her unconditionally. If anything she wants that love to grow as the years go by.
Sooooo…how do you say it? Don’t know and yes I am married but my case was an interesting one. More on that later.
Here is what has been done by others
- On bended knee with flowers or the ring.
- Over dinner.
- During a walk or a hike or picnic.
- Over the phone. I am yet to hear if facebook works...
Back to my story. I intended to “pop the question” after some time of seeing her. However, it was how I asked her out that made things awkward. She was trying to ensure that I am in this for the long haul and I said something like, “for me this is about marriage” and that was it. We started seeing each other and somewhere in those three years we started making wedding plans . I just never “popped the question”. And get this.
Are you sitting down. Ok.
10 years of marriage later she still wants me to “pop the question”. Says she misses the experience.
Help.
Anyone?
