Proposing to your girlfriend is, if you're really lucky something that you'll get to do only once! So it's important you don't mess up!
The following advice will show you how to propose to your girlfriend and hopefully survive the experience:
1. Make it personal! There's no excuse for carbon copying an idea from somewhere else, especially since the two of you should have many shared experiences! So you know exactly what she likes!
2. You shouldn't be surprised by her answer! If you're not completely or at least 99% sure that she'll say yes, then you've probably not been going out long enough!
3. Try and surprise her! This is a huge moment for you both so don't turn it into an anti climax for her!
4. Only make it a public proposal if you're completely sure she'll say yes, otherwise this could turn out to be the most humiliating experience of your life!
5. Guard the ring like it's your precious! Don't bury it in sand or give it to a Waiter to serve with desert. You'd only deserve to lose it!
6. Make sure you go down on one knee! It's old and corny but she always imagined her proposal would be like that ever since she was a little girl, so don't let her down!
7. Practice your words! Do it in front of the Dog and Cat! You'll feel silly for sure, but the alternative is that she'll tell all her friends how you stuttered through the most important few words in both your lives!
8. Create a romantic setting! It's much better than big and lavish! It's all about candles, music, good food and flowers!
9. If you're planning on getting married quickly, then propose in the winter and aim for a spring wedding! Otherwise propose in the spring and you'll have a whole year to prepare!
10. Enjoy the experience! Make sure you've planned for every possible eventuality and everything will be fine! Good luck!
