How to propose a Girl
“Top 10 creative ways to
“propose a girl”
By Jay Nagar
So are you in love? Are
you planning to propose to the girl of your dreams?For your benefit, in this post I’ve decided to share the most creative 10 ways of “proposing a girl”,
( i.e. letting a girl know of your romantic feelings for her.)
That said, on with the list…
1. The t-shirt proposal
Get a plain white round-neck t-shirt printed with
“Julsi (or whoever), I love you. J” It’s even better to get creative with the
t-shirt message. Wear it inside a jacket or shirt and go to work/college or
wherever it is that you regularly meet your love-interest. Try to catch her
alone and reveal your gift to her with a smile.
2. The YouTube proposal
Propose to her on video and post it on YouTube.
Then send her a very serious sounding mail with the link, and it make it look
as though it contains some work related information. You can imagine her
reaction when she opens it! Here it’s important to be creative with the message
on the video.
3. The alarm proposal
Get your hands on her cell phone. Set a reminder
for 2 a.m. (i.e. sometime in the middle of the night when she’s sure to be
asleep) which says, “Wake up Julsi! Jay loves you!”
4. The super-dramatic alarm proposal
If you want to be the drama king, don’t stop there.
Set the reminder as, “Look inside your bag!” Put a piece of paper inside her
bag saying, “Open you diary/biology classnotes copy.” Write your romantic
message inside this diary/copy. (As you understand you can make this chain of
actions as long as you want. Just don’t bore her enough to earn a rejection!)
5. They key proposal
Send a key to her home/dormitory by courier. Don’t
give any explanation. After a few days send her a note saying, “Did you receive
a key?” Then again after a few days send the final note saying, “The key you
received is the key to my heart. I give it to you.-JAY.” I bet she’ll be in
tears! (Assuming you didn’t make a mistake choosing the girl!)
6. The “boxed” proposal
Send a gift-wrapped box to her home. Put another
box inside the first one, and another inside the second one. This is the
classic box-inside-box-inside-box proposal. Include as many boxes as you like
(but again, like point #4, you know when to stop!), and inside the final one
put a key, with a note saying, “I give you the key to my heart.” (Alert: Don’t
forget to sign your name at the end!!)
7. The “meal in a box” proposal
Take the man in the college/office canteen into
confidence. The next time she orders something at the canteen she’ll receive a
piece of paper on her plate saying “Today you have just JAY’s (replace with
your name!) love for a meal.”
8. The maze proposal
Get a friend to tell her that Prof. XYZ (if you’re
a student)/her boss (if you’re working) is calling her. Make sure you do this
during lunch hours, i.e. at a time when the professor/her boss is not in
his/her office. Now stick an arrow on the wall just beside the closed door of
the office of this person, so that she notices it when she comes to meet
him/her. (Don’t stick it on the door under any circumstances!) We
humans are curious at the core of our selves, so chances are she’ll follow the
sign. Put another arrow on the wall and another one. You can put as many arrows
as you like. But, again…remember…Well, you know. :D Lead her to some empty room
or any place which is likely to be empty of people. Put a cardboard sign there
saying, “You’ve reached JAY’s heart.” You can get creative with the message
here.
9.
The
picture-perfect proposal
Get hold of a photo of hers (from Facebook maybe).
Combine it with a photo of yours using Photoshop (or get a friend to do it) to
show the two of you together. Send it to her by snail-mail with something romantic
written on it. Put the name of the sender as “GOD”. Obviously the meaning is
that God wants you to be together.
10. The time-bomb proposal
Send her an email saying, “The 10th day
from today will be the most important day of your life.” (Naturally from a fake
email address) Keep sending her an email everyday from that day onwards,
saying, “9 more days to go…”, “8 more days to go…” etc. until the last day. On
the 10th day leave a note on her desk with your romantic message.
Now go ahead, pick the one most suitable to you and get to work changing
your dreams into reality. Edit Things You'll Need
- Suitable location
- A ring
- Any other props such as roses, chocolates, jewelry, etc.
Important Tips:
- Evenings are a very romantic time for proposals but they're not essential, and for many people, a daytime proposal in a beautiful setting is just as romantic.
- Originality is awesome, but don't go overboard.
- When proposing don't be nervous and say the wrong things (although it's normal), Maybe record what you will say and sleep somewhere where only you can hear the recorded plan and play it and practice it so you won't make a mistake.
- If you are really clueless, ask her friends or family.
- Have her pick out 3-5 rings that she would really like as an engagement ring. Every jewelry store said this was a good idea because even if she likes every aspect of the ring, she may still not care for how it is put together.
- If possible, set up a video camera or ask someone to take pictures. These will be great to show to family members and friends.
- "Down on one knee" originally started as pose for gentlemen to show their ultimate respect for their bride to be, which is rather sweet!
- Talk to her about it. If you really think that you can be together for the next 50 years, you can talk about things like marriage. Make sure that she wants to marry you.
- Don't worry if she says "No" or "I'll have to think about it" - this is a big step.
- Consider hiring a pro. Some businesses specialize in personalized, creative will-you-marry-me events and offer services to help take the pressure off when you pop the question.
Warnings
- Try to avoid the clichés such as: over dinner; via a jumbo torn; or hiding the ring in food. Tune into the places she loves.
- Calm your nerves; it's hardly romantic if you end up spluttering or vomiting out of fear.
- Act normal in the lead-up to proposing to her. When you're out shopping for a ring, or organizing the proposal place, just tell her you're busy at work or with your mates, rather than making up convoluted stories.
- Avoid diverting her by going on about not being the marriageable type, or having to run off soon. This is both cruel and unnecessary and could land you in hot water when she ends up feeling frustrated and irritated with your non-commitment or busy person lines. Anything that puts a dampener on the evening first will be hard to turn around. And even if she guesses what you're about to do, the suspense is still killing her and it won't be real until you've actually proposed. Think "fairy tale"!
- Avoid saying corny lines or defeatist comments such as "I know this is what you've wanted all along, so now you're getting me for life".
- If you're nervous hire a proposal planner to coordinate and execute your details the day of, so you aren't worried about them and/or act out of character. This is the root for most proposal day arguments.
“Best of Luck”
