For many women, they are always looking for that special day in their lives. Well, one of those special days.
While nothing will likely ever top getting married or having a baby, the day that a man proposes to you is something you will never forget. Where you were and what you were doing at the time will undoubtedly be etched in your mind for years to come.
That said where and when he pops the big question is oftentimes up in the air.
Should he do it in a hidden and quite place? Should he opt instead for a more public setting? Will you be embarrassed if he does do it with a big crowd around? On the other hand, do you want countless people to see your reaction?
When all is said and done; lots of things to think about.
Thoughts for the Man and Woman
So that both parties get it right when the time comes, here are some factors to keep in mind, first for the man….
- Timing – Face it; timing is everything when you’re getting ready to see if she will accept your proposal. Try and find the right time to ask the big question. If she’s going through a rough period with her career, personal matters, the timing may not be all that good (lots on her mind to think about). Then again, a proposal during this time period may be just what she was looking for to take her stresses away;
- Place – This can be the most challenging of tasks at hand, where to ask her the big question. Many guys will look for that special place, one that oftentimes is shared by both parties. It could be at the beach, in the mountains, the site of their first date etc. Another option is asking her at a spot that holds the future for both people, perhaps a home or apartment the two just purchased or rented together. Many guys will opt for a safer bet, something like a restaurant that the two have a love for. Wherever the place may be, make sure it is one that has the right ambiance and one where both parties feel comfortable being;
- Financing – Ask any guy and he is likely to tell you that money was no issue when it came to getting his significant other an engagement ring. Then, ask him to be honest about it. For many guys, such a purchase is a major financial step in their lives. Whether purchasing moissanite rings by Front Jewelers or other selections, buying that special ring for that special person means big money. It is always best to have your financial matters in order before considering a big purchase like this. Doing a payment plan setup is the choice of many men, though some are able to put all the money down at one time. Always best to search around and see which jeweler will best work with you in terms of service and finances. Just as you probably wanted advice for online dating if that is how you meet your special lady, get the best financial advice from jewelers and others so that you can pay for the ring without stressing yourself out.
As for the woman….
- Response – Whether you say yes or no could go a long way in determining whether or not the relationship survives. Yes, some women have said no, yet the relationship went on, with the two finding a better time to get engaged. If you feel like this is not the right time to say yes, be up front about it. Saying yes when you truly are not ready to be engaged can lead to disaster on several fronts;
- Next step – An engagement does not automatically mean that a wedding day is imminent anytime soon. Couples are best served when they are in total agreement on making such a big commitment. Some women will be engaged for a short period of time and then marry, others will wait for a couple of years. Once again, be up front and true to yourself about when you want to get married. Couples oftentimes face pressures from family and friends about the big day. Always remember that it is just the two of you that will make that decision.
