Hi everybody--
I''m struggling with figuring out how to propose to my girlfriend. Please bare with me, I''m still trying to think of an actual good idea.
Here''s my idea:
We met when I was a rower on the U of MN crew team. I was in the boathouse changing clothes and I was standing there in just my boxer-briefs when she walked in. She was there to try out for the coxswain opening. (A coxswain steers the shell and basically barks out orders to the guys in the boat.) Anyways, when she walked in, I kind of looked up and calmly walked to her and shook her hand an introduced myself. I could tell that she was a little bit more uncomftable than me... but not by much.
I was thinking about bringing her back down to the boathouse, but since I''ve graduated and am no longer on the team, I''m going to have to come up some kind of excuse to get her down there. When we are down there I would drop pants and pull out the ring to propose. Granted I would tell her how I feel and how I want to spend the rest of my life with her, etc, etc, etc so it wouldn''t just be 100% goofy.
We''ve been dating for 5 years and we both just want to get married in an informal, inexpensive way and therefore I am trying to have a fairly "low-key" proposal.
Yes, this is actually what I''ve come up with. So please, please help me!
I''ve been also thinking of the various ways in which guys propose...
What do girls like more:
1. The romantic way. ie., Dinner, then walk in a park, then BAM sappy proposal.
2. The shocking way. ie., While I''m shaving, yell that I cut my finger and run to where she is with my hand wrapped in towels only to have her unwrap it, holding the ring.
3. The funny way. ie., See story above.
4. The public way. ie., surprising her at work.
5. The just-like-when-we-met way. ie., See story above.
6. The family way. ie., have her/my family be in on the act.
7. The trickery way. ie., have "will you marry me" written somewhere, like on a napkin while we have dinner.
8. etc...
