You’ve been with your girl for a while now, you love her smile, her laugh and the cute little way her nose crunches when she pretends to be mad at you. One day you sit in the living room with your father and notice your girlfriend chatting happily with your mother. Something clicks within you and you know for a fact, “This is the girl I’m gonna marry”. First of all, congratulations friend, you’ve found something many search their whole lives for.
Now that you’ve decided, the question becomes, when and where should you propose? You only propose once so you might as well make it a special moment. It’s the start to a new chapter in your lives after all.
Your Anniversary
Once upon a time, it was normal to be officially dating. Nowadays, a lot of relationships exist in this state of “We’re going out but not out, out”. Nowadays it’s more common to be in this limbo where you go out on dates but aren’t exclusive. It’s an unfortunate state of affairs but it’s a chance for you to shine if you remember the date. Anything that makes you stand out positively from everyone else is worth doing.
Valentine’s Day
It should come as no surprise to you that valentine’s day, the most romantic holiday would be one of the best days to propose. If you like your girl, you want to surprise her and give her a memorable experiences.
The problem is, every girl is expecting their man to do something impressive for Valentine’s. That means it’s extremely difficult for you to surpass her expectations. Unless of course you propose and she wasn’t expecting you to.
Christmas Eve
The Christmas season is just special in a way no other holiday can replicate. You’re happy all season, you’re closer to everybody than ever, there’s probably even a mistletoe hanging already. What better time to propose than when everybody’s already in a joyful and loving mood? This is an ideal date if your proposal requires the help of friends and family members to pull of.
New Year’s Eve
Watching the bell drop with your friends, or maybe just the two of you? She’ll turn around and expect to kiss you. You’ll be on one knee with the most beautiful ring she’s ever seen. Talk about starting off the new year with a bang.
Your fiancée will have such a great time telling her friends and co-workers how unexpected it was to see you on one knee as she turned around.
White Day
If your fiancée to be is Japanese or Korean, this is the perfect day for you to propose. If not, you can still make a special day out of it. Take her on a nice date, tell her about how white day is a day in Japan where men return the love they receive from women during Valentine’s day. Is it the whole truth? No. But it’s true enough and it’s a great story. But more importantly, it’s a great excuse to show your love to her just because you wanted to. It’s a story you’ll reminisce and tell for years to come.
Keep in mind
As glamorous as it is to pick a perfect moment in time to propose, remember that the truly important part is the life you two will live together after the engagement. Don’t let a less than perfect proposal ruin an entire lifetime with your life partner.
