    Aw, congratulations.

    Just be yourself. Tell her how much you love her, etc. from your heart and just ask away.

    I love the ring myself, but everyone has their own taste. So as Mandee has said...don't be upset if she does want to exchange it. It is something that she will be looking at for the rest of her life so she might as well really like what she's looking at.

    Tie her up and beat her until she says yes.

    Thanks for all the replies. She isn't a particularly outgoing person, and I know she would hate me if I proposed to her in front of other people. Oh, and don't worry, I wouldn't dare put it in food or drink - that's just dumb.

    Well, I'm fairly sure everything will go quite well. I'm flying out of the country next Thursday (9th), and I'm back the Thursday after (18th), so I'll post her response when I get back.

    And that video was just mean. I feel sorry for the guy, going through all that trouble only to get rejected.

    No no no no no. ;_;

    Are there still guys out there who think this is a good idea? Cause it's not. Really not.

    Anyway, foa and shlup have already said what I wanted to say. So goodluck, man. I'm sure everything will go great.

    Yeah, man, you got the right idea there!

    Girls always have boring ideas about proposals and their wedding days. 'Oooh, I want to go on a holiday somewhere, go out to a delicious restaurant, have a walk on the beach with the moon shining brightly and the stars twinkling, blah, blah, blaaaaaaah!!!'

    You should do what Devil Man is gonna do.

    Take her out to McDonalds, buy her a cheese burger and whip out your ring.

    Trust me, she'll like it

    Simplicity always works best!

    Take her to a jewellery shop, get the cheapest ring, propose.
    If she says no, find the second cheapest ring, propose.
    Have a set limit at which point you can say "Bah, not worth it anyway."

    IF SHE LOVES YOU SHE'LL TAKE THE CHEAP RING

    I know, I know, it's too late for this...

    Darn. I knew someone would eventually post a wonderful, sensible idea.

    Thank you Rainecloud Devil Man just knows you are not being sarcastic and are being dead serious!

    Just like...

    Devil Man is being dead serious too!

    Trust me, chicks dig originality! And you should surprise her by doing something totally unexpected like.

    For example, if Devil Man was in your situation, how would he propose?

    Well, after his girlfriend has finished making him his food and is in the kitchen doing the washing up...

    BAM!

    THAT'S when Devil Man would make her the happiest woman in the world, as she is cleaning the dishes

    See! Originality goes a long way!

    If the girl really liked the guy, she wouldn't care about the ring. If the guy really liked the girl, he wouldn't give up on her just because he was too cheap to buy a ring the girl liked. Works both ways BoB!

    But yeah, something about going to a store and having a guy point at the cheapest one and going, "THAT'S the one you're getting" is really really really not appealing. I mean, dang man. That's just soo... I'd probably either crack up laughing or start crying. Or both. xD

    If you can't afford to buy a ring, as your mother/grandmother if you can have their engagement ring. At least that way you can pass it off as being romantic and sentimental rather than just plain cheap.

    Yeah, that sounds awful, and I'd certainly never do that. Besides, the ring has already been ordered from an online shop that made it specially for me. I didn't want anything too fancy, and from her hints, she didn't either.

    I'll certainly pop the question while we're downing our Big Tasty burgers at McDonald's next Friday. Seriously.

    I'm afraid I don't have any advice for you, Raine, but I'd like to wish you the best of luck, however you decide to propose. Not that you'll be needing luck, of course, but you know what I mean.
