Some days, you could just tell me “Hey Woman, Yes, you there, come here and be my wife” and just take me away. Done deal! Ok, I’ve watched a lot of Western Movies, I admit, but don’t you agree that would make things a little bit easier? I still think they had it great back then.

The Day You Propose Is Special For Her

But the day you propose is not just some day. it’s one of the most important day for her, especially if she’s going to say yes. Which is exactly why you want to get it just right. The Bachelor may have gotten away with proposing wrong twice but you might not be that lucky.

So, what do you say to propose to your girlfriend? I am sure you’ve heard a lot about the romanticism (is that a word?) of the moment and a lot of great things and not so great as well on how to propose. In my opinion, keep it simple, to the point and, most importantly, real.

Yes, keep what you say real. Sure it should be a magical and memorable moment, but true magic comes from being true to her and to you. In that moment, emotions are what make the moment magical. And the more genuine your emotions, the more magical the moment for her.

You’ll Get It Right To The Degree You Know Her

Now, if you are too focused on finding the perfect line, you will be everything but truthful and some of those overused lines actually sound funny (really). Here’s a tip; the more you really know her, the easier it is for you to know what to say. So before you propose, take the time and do your home work. Find out again, as if you just met her, what she likes, dislikes, expects, does not expect; what will surprise her positively, negatively.

Find out what she knows of you, thinks of you, whether you like what you learn or not. The more information you collect, the easier it will be for you to come up with her perfect proposal scenario and you will be so real and true because you know her so well.

Another homework you definitely want to do before proposing is make sure she wants to be proposed to … by you. But that’s a different blog.
