Tips for getting your Girlfriend to the Altar

From 3arf

She’s the one.  You just know it, but now you have to convince her of such.  Sometimes she knows that she wants to be with you, but might just be marriage shy.  There are different things that you can do that might help convince her to take that walk down the aisle.  The following are tips for getting your girlfriend to the altar.

Do special things for her

A woman usually appreciates when her boyfriend is very thoughtful for her.  Of course you could shower her with presents but this does not need to be about spending money.  It is about thinking of something special.  For instance, you could recreate your first date.  You could cook her favorite meal. You could place flower petals on the bed. You could give her massages.  It is often these little things that truly melt our hearts and might make her more likely to get to the altar.

Discuss it with her

Sometimes she may have reservations about marriage that you can work out if you discuss it.  She may have irrational fears.  Different studies have shown that a happy marriage can increase people’s happiness.  You can try to work through any issues that might be stopping her.

Make a special proposal

A special proposal can mean something different to different people.  Your girlfriend might want a huge surprise.  She might want to be the one on the giant screen during a sold out football game.  She might want to be surrounded by fifty of your closest friends during an elaborate surprise party.  Alternatively she might want just a quiet proposal along a moonlit beach with only the waves and the stars to witness it.  A proposal where you take the time to think about what she wants might melt her heart and propel her to give the answer that you have been looking for.  Be careful about doing it in front of a lot of people if you are not sure what her answer is going to be.

Give her time, and be persistent without overdoing it

Sometimes a lady just needs time to make a decision.  Sometimes giving her this time and showing that you understand her needs will be what will actually do it.  On the other hand you want to show your continued interest but do not overdo it so much that she changes her mind about your relationship completely.

Getting your girlfriend to marry you can be tricky, but there is hope.  Look towards the above tips to aid you in this.
