Marriage proposal dilemma

[Sarge1400]

Looking for some opinions from the Buell community:

I'm going to propose to my GF. Was thinking about doing it at dinner on Valentines Day, but wondering if that's too cliche or cheesy. She mentioned once that she'd like it if I did it in front of her friends. I'm not the kind of guy to showboat, I'm kinda private, and I feel like something this personal should just be between the two of us. That being said, I try not to be selfish, and this isn't just about me. If that's what she really wants, maybe I should do it that way? Would probably not be until Saturday the 17th if I wait to ask her in front of her friends (would be at a watering hole we go to).

Thoughts/opinions?

Started dating my now wife of 13yrs on Valentine's day. But do what makes you comfortable, once your married she had the rest of her life to always be right and get what she wants. So make it special, but include yourself in this one!

As a hopeless romantic, I would say to please her romantic wishes. She will forever remember that you remembered. That is important for women.

To me though, the private and personal approach is better, but again, it's not about what you want.

Let her propose to you.

I better stay out of this one.

Good luck.

Let her propose to you.

That's what my wife did. On our first date. 29 years and counting...

Do what you think is right. I proposed to my ex at a car audio world finals event. She thought I was joking. It did last 10 years. But the army got in the way.

If you get her a big enough Diamond Ring she won't care when or where you propose.

Did you ever ponder this...

A woman who gets engaged will run up to another woman, show her the ring, and tell her she just got engaged. They will both jump up and down, laugh, cry, and be so happy together. Even though they don't know each other.

The reason is that they know they are going to make another man miserable.

Just say'in...

Mariachi. The answer is always Mariachi.


Congrats and good luck Sarge, the right girl won't care how you do it. She'll be doing it with you, not for anyone else.
