Sickeningly happy but how to propose?

Question - (3 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 4 March 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been with my girlfriend for about a year. She's the most beautiful and sweetest girl in the universe. I was over the moon when she agreed to go on a date with me. I was taken aback by her response when I asked. She said, "What took you so long?" Let me describe her for you. He's 5ft 3, blonde, size 8, curvy, and a slight tan. Her smile makes my heart flutter and she has the cutest but slight lisp. I can't believe she's going out with me, I'm a bit of a geek but people have always said that I'm very handsome. Sorry, I'm just really happy. On the first date I was very nervous but she calmed me down by telling me that she was nervous too but lets just enjoy ourselves. She was dressed in a beautiful silver coloured fitting dress, I'll never forget how beautiful see looked. We've been together for a year now and fell completely in love with each other about a month after we started dating. Now, I want to propose to her. I've bought a beautiful ring for her, which is what she deserves, it's almost as beautiful as her. The thing is that I'm so nervous about asking her to marry me. She drops hints about getting engaged all the time. I've thought about how and when to do it, e.g. taking her to dinner and then asking her etc, but it all seems so cliched. Can anybody give me any ideas?

wonderingcat agony auntDoes she still have that silver colored fitting dress? As her to wear it, perhaps even go to the same place that you went to on your first date.

Tell her how happy she has made you. Then you go down on your knees and propose to her. Write what you want to say to her if you think you will get nervous and forget your lines. She will find it soo sweet that you are trying to make everything perfect on this very occasion.

Congratulations! Just love hearing happy stories. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Sweetie, I find the best way is just to surprise her.

Take the ring out with you and then just wait till you have a moment where she looks beautiful and you kiss her and it's just a bit lovely and then BANG - straight down on one knee.

Doing something silly like cooking a meal or something you two just do all the time that's just perfect in your relationship is often just so romantic that it's a great time to do it.

Surprise the hell out of her!

OOH and asking her dad for permission first is a bit old fashioned and traditional but he'll really appreciate it and we girls LOVE all that stuff. It shows a lot of respect and her family will see you in an even better light.

Good Luck!! xx
