Proposing Tonight!?

I%26#039;m proposing tonight! She has NO CLUE - at least I hope not.


We%26#039;re going to a restaurant (she picked it), and I made a CD with a very romantic playlist with various artists.


After work I%26#039;m planning on buying her flowers and an anniversary card - since it%26#039;ll be our anniversary on the 17th.


What would be the right timing for popping the question? Before dinner, after dinner, during dinner?


I was planning on doing it after dinner, on our way to the car - I%26#039;ll be telling her sweet little things on our way to the car, and once we%26#039;re right by the car, I%26#039;ll drop on one knee, bring out the ring, smile (and cry) and finish speaking, probably with broken-up words.


Any tips? Thanks!!!

Proposing Tonight!?
not by the car....take her somewhere romantic after dinner...just tell her u have a suprise (like go where your first date was or go where you first met-even if its the grocery store) she will love it!!! trust me!!! or you can do it in the middle of the dinner towards the end with a glass of wine or something but tell the waitor not to disturb during the wine until u signal that it is ok 2 come
Reply:I would say before dinner, when you give her the cards and flowers. Say: %26quot;There%26#039;s something else I need to give you.%26quot; Then pull out the ring and ask her. She will be so excited, and it will make good dinner conversation. Good luck and congrats!
Reply:That sounds perfect, make sure you get on one knee! If she is the kind of women that likes designer clothes (coach bags, chanel, etc) I would do it after dinner, at dessert, in the restaurant in front of everyone, the bar will probably send over free champagne! Good Luck.
Reply:It sounds like you have a good plan. I definitely would not do it during a meal. If your luck is like mine, you will be interrupted by the waiter right in the middle of your proposal. I took my wife out to dinner and afterwords we strolled by a lake in the park. It was a nice setting. Very peaceful and private.
Reply:Definitely do the proposal in private, unless you are 100% sure she%26#039;s going to say yes. Some women find public proposals stressful, especially if they don%26#039;t like feeling like they%26#039;re on stage.





The real question is how would she want it done? Is she romantic or practical? A romantic would want the big down-on-one-knee scene. A practical woman (like me, for example) would want a serious conversation instead of a proposal.
Reply:Congrats. I think you have it planned out perfect. After dinner walk to the car and before opening the door for her get down on one knee and ask her. Aww, I%26#039;m happy for you. Good Luck tonight and let us know how it turns out.
Reply:I%26#039;d do it before you leave the table. There%26#039;s something about a guy proposing to a girl at the table in a restaurant that%26#039;s just unbelievably sweet.
Reply:OMG how nice!!!!! I hope she says yes!!! She should really like your plans.....
Reply:Awww.. that is soo sweet.. you already have it all planned out. Good luck! =)
Reply:great idea boss
Reply:awwww how exciting. i think doing it on the way to the car is a good idea because she prob wont want a bunch of ppl at the rest. looking @ her when she starts crying. can you hide the card and flowers in the car (maybe in the trunk?) and have her open the truck up and then when she turns around you are down on one kneww with ring in hand? i dont know just a thought that way she will be totally surprised. good luck and congrats!
Reply:i would say after dinner wen your sitting there sipping your wine ready to order desert and then drop on the knee
Reply:Congratulations! For tips, It would be a good idea to do it after dinner then it would be romantic...unless you want the world to know you%26#039;re proposing then you can do it during dinner..I hope all goes well with you and best wishes!!!
Reply:I personally think your plan sounds great! I think that after dinner is the best because you don%26#039;t want to be too emotional (hopefully in a good way) to finish your meal! Congratulations! Hope she says yes! :)
Reply:You should do it in the restaurant. Hide the ring in the bottom of her champagne glass or have the cook put it on the top of her dessert. Something like that will make a memory that will last forever.
Reply:why don%26#039;t you gather up the waiters, let them hold up placards saying, %26quot;WILL YOU MARRY (your name), (your girlfriend%26#039;s name)???


Do this before dessert... :)
Reply:my husband got on his knee in the resturant.being in front of others made it more special 4 me.
Reply:Sounds like you have it all planned out the right way.
Reply:First of all, congratulations! The anniversary card is a great idea! I have not heard of that before and think it is really sweet.





As a girl who is hoping to be proposed to herself someday very soon, I would suggest proposing after dinner and proposing somewhere that is *not* a resturant parking lot. Is there a park nearby you can take her to for a walk instead? A hip downtown area with a fountain?





Best of luck!
Reply:hell yeah sounds like a plan to me.... good luck
Reply:I think your idea is sweet. Also consider doing it before you would order a dessert or something? If the restaurant has a heads up they would probably help out by. Congrats!





If it helps, my husbands plan got soured because I was in an accident right before he was gonna propose (we were going to Disneyworld for my birthday). I told him all I wanted for my birthday was a card since we were going on vacation. We still went to Florida, but obviously Disneyworld was out- I was on crutches with a broken ankle. He cut a little hole in my card and tied my ring in there with a string and signed it %26quot;Will you marry me?%26quot; So sweet.





Just a thought, but maybe get her a card for your anniversary and do that. I loved the idea way better then if it had happened at Disney because now I have the card to remind me of it.
Reply:awwww...thats so sweet. why dont u two dance also then in the middle, pop the big ques.
Reply:During the dinner.
Reply:holy **** good for you man hope she says yes
Reply:u should do it after dinner. if she doesnt mmind pda nd u know shell say yes, do it b4 desert. if u want 2 do it outside, by the car is a really cute idea....congrats nd good luck
Reply:Go with your heart, but don%26#039;t do it in front of a bunch of people. It should be just the two of you so that you know she said yes because she wants you and not because of peer pressure or the pressure of the situation.
