    Well, if she swallows the ring it's kind of like saying 'yes' ;D

    You should act like you hate her for a week. Trip her, pull her hair, kick her in the shin or throw dirt in her eyes. She'll never see it coming.

    Oh, Raine. This is great news. I wish you the best.

    The ring man is fantastic I bet it cost you a pretty penny too. As for proposing, when I proposed to Tinkers I was a wreck, my nerves were shot to hell and all, Just focus on getting the words out and not screwing it up as for relaxing, if she says yes then you won't be doing that for a while.

    That's a lovely ring.

    I'm a girl myself, obviously, and I know that I wouldn't like it in my drink or food. I'd rather it just presented to me, whether it be a surprise or not. Just do what feels right for you. Good luck! This is wonderful.

    That's just mean! She might say no then... If I had a boyfriend who was really mean to me for a week and then proposed to me I would probably say no.

    Well, good luck, and I hope she says yes!

    Uhh... Just be sure to go down on one knee. It adds impact.

    Be sure to say something super sweet, rather than just handing over the ring.

    Don't take too long saying sweet things or acting nervous, lest she begin to suspect.

    Be cautious of the situation you're putting her in. If you want to do it in front of people but she's shy, she might be embarassed. Some people like to get engaged in front of everyone, some like to do it in private. If my husband had proposed to me in front of anyone I would've been mortified!

    As a girl, I'd rather my man pulled the ring from his pocket while on one knee then hide it in food or anything.

    And don't be sad if she wants a different ring. Is it white gold or yellow gold? I can't tell from the picture. It's really pretty though. But, if my husband had picked it, I don't know if I would've kept it. Most girls have an idea of what style ring they'd get well before they get engaged.

    I guess just take the advice from above, i've nothing much to add. I'm sure if you handle your nerves you'll recognise when the right moment will be to pop the question. I'm sure everything will turn out great for you, just have confidence & you'll be fine. Best of luck.

    A surprise engagement is a gift in itself. Make sure you ask her in a way and in a place in which she would be comfortable. If she's an outgoing person and would want the world to know, do it in a public place. If she's private, ask her in a private way. You know her best, so this is down to what YOU think is best.

    And you have excellent taste in jewelry.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    To answer the question about cliches...some girls just prefer being proposed to in the cliche way. Me? I don't care how I'm proposed to, all that will matter to me is being able to say "I'm engaged and I'm going to marry him!" because that's the part that matters...not the ring, nor the manner in which the ring is presented...it's all about what happens after the proposal in my opinion <3

    Love the ring ^^ I'd say just get her in a secluded area, gently brush her hair away from her cheek and tell her how much she means to you, etc...then get on one knee, hold her left hand, and ask for her to marry you. Get that answer before pullin' out the ring, 'cause it'll mean more to you to get her answer first

    Ditto all that. Really, you don't have to do anything super spectacular. Unless she's a bitch 'cause bitches always want something super spectacular. But from what you've said of her I'm under the impression she is not a bitch.

    Just sincerily telling her how you feel, putting some thought into it, and letting her know you want to spend the rest of your life with her is super good on you.
