How to Create the Perfect Romantic Proposal
You might be thinking it is time to propose to your significant other and make it official. The problem is, how do you make that proposal romantic and perfect in every way? There are no simple solutions because everyone is different in what they consider romantic. There are somebasicideas that can get you going, so put on your thinking cap and read on.
Place
There are many romantic places to choose from, but be sure to pick a spot your partner will love. He/she may not find a bowling alley very romantic at all, or it may be the perfect spot. The point is to take him/her to a place that is romantic or special to the two of you.
One place that could be perfect is the beach. Spend the day at the beach walking around, swimming and maybe even looking for special seashells. As it gets closer to sunset, take them to a good place to watch the sunset and propose. Another way to propose at the beach is by setting out numerous candles on the sand and spell out those special words in pretty stones (or seashells) that will glow when the candles are lit.
Another place that might be romantic is his/her favorite restaurant. The low lights, soft music music in the background and pleasant conversation while waiting for the meal can definitely have a nice effect on people. After the meal, you can either get down on one knee or reach across the table for their hand and gaze lovingly into their eyes before proposing.
One final idea is a place you both enjoy going to for the view. Somewhere in nature or a beautiful local park, anyplace that holds beauty for them and for you. Maybe it is a special spot you go to for a romantic picnic or just to be alone for awhile, away from the world. You could pack a picnic lunch/dinner and spend the day enjoying the view and each other's company. Hint: hide the ring in the picnic basket in an empty plastic container, ask your sweetheart to get that particular container out because you would like some of what is in it. When they open the container and find the ring and turn to you in surprise, he/she will see you on bended knee waiting to propose.
Timing
In order for your proposal to go off without a hiccup, you need to time everything just right. In other words, do not spring it on them right after a heated argument (you may not like their immediate response). What it all comes down to is good planning. Spontaneity is wonderful and fun, but when it comes to something as important as your proposal, you want to plan out every detail.
If you can pull it off good enough, your partner may think it was a spontaneous act, but you will know the truth. You want to plan everything out, however you do not want it to feel scheduled or like things have to happen at a specific second. You want the proposal to be fun and romantic for both of you.
Method
The way you propose is as important as the setting and the ring, if not more important. The reason it is so crucial is that your partner will remember it for the rest of their life. They will tell the story of how you proposed to your friends and family and maybe even your future children and grandchildren.
One final thought on the method of proposal: it doesn't matter if you get down on one knee or yell it from a rooftop, as long as you do it with love and sincerity.
When the time feels right to propose to your partner, it is wise to do a lot of thinking and planning. You want the response to be a positive one, so why not give your partner something to be positive about? Make the day of the intended proposal a special date day or at least do something special before popping the question.
The goal of planning out the proposal is to make the entire day as romantic and memorable as possible for your mate. Plan a romantic day at the beach or a quiet picnic at your special spot. All that matters is that you both have a beautiful day and a very romantic proposal.
