Popping the question
« on: May 03, 2012, 08:24:56 PM »
In a few weeks it is going to be my girlfriend and my second anniversary so I want to pop the question but do not want to do it the "normal" way I want to make it a memory to last a lifetime any suggestions?

Ok, maybe not, then.  I am not really the person to ask.  Not much of a romantic.

<<not a romantic, sorry.

But if I were, I'd pop the question when she's having a rotten, lousy day, so as to cheer her up.

I dunno.

Ok, I am responding one more time, in order to get your thread some attention.  My advice would be to just be yourself, and be genuine.  I am sure you will do fine.  Good luck!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

I was thinking of saying I think we need to stop dating because I want you to be my lover,best friend and the mother of my children and the only person I want to kiss for the rest of my life.

That sound too lame?

No, it sounds awesome.

I have never been a fan of public proposals.  So, purely my opinion, make it private.

Also, perhaps in a spot where you can visit from time to time for anniversaries and such.

We met at the city park she was bringing her nephew to his baseball practice and I was bringing the kid I am a big brother to also for practice. They played for the same team so we started chatting.

Fast forward to now the boys still play on the same team each year and we are at the park 3 times a week for practice and games so I was thinking after we drop the boys off we go back to retrieve my "little brothers" glove.

That's my master plan O-)

It is if you want to marry her. You had no mention of marriage.

I love the idea of proposing where y'all met! And I wouldn't change a word of what you want to say, except to add "will you marry me?" to the end of it

Tell her you need to go get the glove.
Go sit on the bleachers for a while after you CAN"T find the glove.
Do the knee thing.
Say what you already thought of.

If the park is empty....
have some glasses and chilled wine/champagne, strawberries and some chocolate in the car trunk in a cooler. (Chocolate dipped strawberries can get soggy, put some Hershey's syrup in a tupperware container to dip strawberries in)

If park is not empty....have them back at home.  :naughty:

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.
