Default Help from the ladies, PLZZZ!!!

Hey ladies, I need help, you see i have a dilemma on my hands,



this is my girlfriend of three years, the three best years of my life thanks to her, and you see I want to pop the question, but im afraid, im nervous, im just a sissy I guess when it comes to something like this.

I love her to death, and I know she loves me, our families love each other, its perfect, but Im afraid ill ask at the wrong time.

My question, should I pop the question??

and what do you ladies think is the most romantic time for a guy to ask you to get married to him?

Plan a great vacation to someplace awesome that she's never been. Then ask her when the time feels right.

But I have to ask this. You're going to be engaged for quite a while right? I mean are you guys even finished with college yet? 20 is awfully young to think about marriage.

How old are you?

I wouldnt recommend marriage until AT LEAST 25. If the two of you get along great, what is the rush to jump into marriage?

I'd wait a while longer before asking that. Maybe another 2 years? Then date another year or 2 and THEN get married around 25.

This is just my personal input Drago. I would not get married before 28, let alone at 20...

But you sure will not miss the right time.

I would say, you've been with her for 3 years, there's nothing wrong with popping the question now... just wait at least a year or two before you actually get married

As far as when to ask her/what is the right moment thing... take her someplace romantic and fun that she would really like. It really depends on her. My cousin proposed to his girlfriend by taking her to Ireland and proposing at a castle... (kinda pricey though, don't go outside your financial means).. maybe your girl might like something more along the lines of the movie Anger Management where the girl was proposed to at a baseball game in front of thousands of fans, maybe she would enjoy more sitting at a lake/ocean sunset proposal... maybe she's a more simple gal.

You're the only one that knows on here what she likes and what makes her happy. If you're still stuck, post up some things she likes to do/places she likes to go, etc.

I proposed to my wife on a Saturday morning, while sitting on the couch and she was cooking breakfast. She asked when I was going to ask her, so I did.

We've been married 10 years.

My fiance took me to the museum out to eat than we went to the park where we had our first date.

We walked around and ended up on the giant wood playset. He asked me why this place was special an i said its where we had our first date. Thats when he asked me. It was special because it was a place that meant something to both of us. In fact we are going to the same park to have our photos taken.

I didnt wait...I poped the question to my GF of 10 years...(high school sweat hearts) at the prime age of 22....she said yes and we were engaged for about 2 years and were planning the big day and then poof!...she cancelled it all....Something about screwing a cop and well it just wasnt going to work out cause I really dont like cops....But...I look back and think maybe we were just a lil to young....Im 27 and am about to marry a wonderful women that i ve been with for only 1 year........people will tell you that you are to young and I can agree with that, but I am a huge believer of following your gut! If you feel that this is truly what you want than everything will come to you. Are you afraid she will say no? make sure you ask her because its what she wants for the both of you and not just what you want.

As far as where and how....just think of all the things she likes.....where was yalls first date? Is there any place or something special that holds a certain special spot for both of you....

#1 Don't EVER tell her you went to a car website to ask how to do it.
#2 Don't tell EVER her you asked other chicks how to ask her.
#3 It's only special if you come up with a way to ask her.

That's my advice. I hope it helps.
Good luck!!

I don't know if you're ready or if you should wait. My fiance and I have been dating for 7, but I'm just slow

But when you are ready, make it as special as possible. My fiance always told me she cares more about the person than the proposal, so something simple would work for her. But I knew better.

I re-enacted our first date. Took her to the same place for dinner, same booth, pre-ordered the same food, went to the same spot on the beach.

Then we went on a hot air baloon ride and I proposed above the ocean. She tells everyone this story and I'm glad I was able to make it special for her. The ring, however, was painful to my wallet

Don't propose on a birthday or holiday like xMas or valentines. If things were to go south, giving a ring on those days is considered a gift and you can't get the ring back legally. Just sayin', hope that never becomes an issue.

I proposed at her friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. We were out of town, it was a nice place and I figured it would be romantic that their wedding led to ours. It was just her and I when I asked, I didn't make a scene, but she freaked out, worrying that it would take the spotlight off of the wedding couple. Go figure. Anyway, we're still married - 12 years this weekend.

oh man don't pop the question at only 20 years old!! You guys probably get along great and all that but you don't see it now. At 20 you still have alot of living to do, you're not even old enough to get a drink! There are plenty of people who got married young and have marriages that have lasted decades but on the same token I have a lot of friends who got married young and were divorced before even hitting 25...It's really up to you of course but IMHO 20 is just way too young.

But if you truly believe it's the right thing to do, you shouldn't be asking people on SL when and where to pop the question!!! You're the one who knows her best...
