Waiting for some men to propose is like waiting until
the cows come home. Even if they’re ready to take the
next leap in love, they may not be able to take the
initiative themselves.
In this case, there’s nothing wrong with a girl letting
her guy know that she’s ready to make the
commitment too. Dare to be different
withOnewed.com‘s tips on proposing to your man.
Before you pop the question make sure your values
line up with his. Consider getting his thoughts on
long-term commitment to tap into his feelings about
your relationship.
If you still think it’s time to take the next step, here’s
the skinny on how to pop the question to you man.
1. Use His Hobbies: Showing an interest in what
your guy likes, whether it’s car repair or
computer programming, is a great way of letting
a guy know that he is loved and accepted for who
he is. So, when it comes to getting creative with
your proposal factor in some of his favorite
hobbies, just as he would do if he was planning a
proposal.
2. Show Team Spirit: The stereotype of the
resentful football widow is so powerful that many
women are combining their proposals with
tickets to their guy’s favourite team. This helps
the guys know that just because you are taking
the lead here, it does not mean you’re planning
on taking over his life.
3. Make Some Food For Thought: The saying goes,
“The way to a man’s heart is through his
stomach.” A favourite meal gives him a taste of
what life with you will be like and will, hopefully,
render a warm and fuzzy feeling that assures him
he likes being with a gal like you!
4. Put Your Pets and Kids To Use In Your
Proposal: Involving your children, two legged or
more, is a great way to help remind your guy
about what’s really important. They create a
homey feeling that will get your guy thinking
about life with you.
5. Take Him Back To Your First Dates: Romance
isn’t just for girls. Let your guy know that you
remember how it all started, and use those
feelings of love and excitement to spark your new
life together. It will bring you both back to an
exciting time in your relationship and kick off
your engagement right.
6. Above All, Keep It Simple: You’re already going
to surprise him by being the one to propose
marriage — the pressure is already on. So, don’t
worry about getting too elaborate with your plan.
Ultimately, you have to tell him how you feel. Out
with it! Put it on the line and see what happens.
