not good karma to regift an engagement ring...might want to avoid that

the best way, is to know for certain the answer before you ask.....

make it memorable,,,,different,
take her bunjee jumping, ask her before she jumps- show her you have a knife, she'll say yes.

I don't know why people try hiding rings in food. A million things could go wrong.

One of the best ways is to propose in public, staging a flash mob, movie trailer in a theater, sporting event, or other setting where others can see. One of the worst ways is to propose in public, staging a flash mob, movie trailer in a theater, sporting event, or other setting where others can see. It all depends on the answer.

The worst I heard of was a guy pretending to have died in a car crash and his girlfriend was so traumatized that when he woke up he asked her to marry him and she said yes. When asked, he said he wanted her to know that she couldn't survive without him and to feel so devastated by it that she'd have to marry him.

Terrible. Just terrible.

I think a nice private proposal or something where there's a blimp flying overhead during a nice dinner would be lovely.

I was offered marriage thru email. When my then BF (now husband) was trying to get back with me after he suggested it's better we part ways. Then he said he is gonna ask me in person.

He did, after we had our sexy time and lying in bed he asked me. No rings still though. But I saw him looking online for rings. Sooo.

I would not want a huge crowd of people around. While it could be fun to have people cheering when the lady says, "Yes", it's still personal - between two people, not a crowd . . . but that's just me.

We might think that guys who propose to their fiances at baseball games are really sweet, but I actually think it kind of puts her on the spot. I mean what if she says no? People are gonna think she's a...well a party pooper, at the very least!

I have helped with several proposals and even marriages in my line of work. No proposals were bad, usually horse drawn carriage, restaurant, landmark etc. One a few years ago stood out. A guy created a proposal on the Times Square titantron that I helped with. That was cool. She said yes. I actually forgot that one til I read this thread.

I think the worst would be proposing in McDonald's or a fast food place.
