Having made the plunge and purchased the ring, it''s time to move to phase 2 of the planning.. aka the proposal..
This post almost turned into a really long story but I think i can boil my questions down into something more manageable.
1. I''m in good with the family, and she''s very close to her mother so I''m somewhat inclined to ask permission or otherwise letting her know. The trick is that she doesn''t really speak much English. I don''t think that I can learn to say the Chinese (though if I wrote a note she could probably read it. It''s not strictly necessary to ask, but I think that it''s something that''s unexpected but would be appreciated. I also think that her mom would tell her. While it''s apparent that the proposal is coming we''re kind of acting under the mutual ruse that everything is normal. So I guess the question is something like should I try to call and ask (visiting in person isn''t an option), should I write a note stating my intentions or should I not worry about it since no one is expecting that I would ask.
2. This is the big question. Is it better to propose somewhere that is already sentimental (aka first kiss, first ''I love you'') or is it better to make a new special place?
