So my woman and I have been together coming on two years (will be August 4th). I am 30 (will be 31 September 6) and she is 43. I love her so much and really would like to marry her. I know it's quite a bit different in our case but nevertheless I have never gotten along with a woman as well as her and we get along great. I have thought about popping the question and have an idea but would like your thoughts.
There is a particular restaurant she loves called Osaka a Japanese restaurant where they cook the food in front of you and serve you. I was thinking about planning a date there and after he is finished serving and we are done eating popping the question. Not some huge spectacle by any means, but more after we have ate a "I love you and you are the most important woman I have known and want to spend the rest of my life with you" kind of thing.
Have you ever discussed marriage? Do either of you want any children? I'm just asking because if you have never discussed making your relationship more permanent you might not get the answer you are looking for. But here's hoping it works out for you both.
I, too, was wondering if the two of you have ever discussed marriage.
Personally, the thought of a public proposal makes me cringe. It varies from person to person. I also didn't want to be the center of attention at a traditional wedding. Some women love the attention. It just depends on whether she is one of them.

What's different? You've been dating two years and you love her. I hope you're not referring to age. My husband and I are the same age spread as you and your girlfriend and we've been together for nearly 11 years now.
If you two have ever discussed settling down together, it'll go fine. If you have not, I wouldn't propose in public because it might be awkward you both if she's not on the same page.
Though, with a woman who isn't young and inexperienced, I'm sure any proposal will be handled tactfully, regardless of the outcome.
Best to you!

Yes, we have talked about marriage before. She is open to it. As for asking her I was not going to do it publicly, there is a nice area right next to it and I was planning on getting her to take a walk with me and asking her privately.
