Скачать или смотреть Terrible Ways To Propose To Someone

Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year, but it is the worst day you can choose to propose to your girlfriend. First, she might think you are a cheapskate for using the occasion instead of choosing a separate day to make the proposal special. Second, flowers and chocolates are a big enough cliche, and you do not want to add to the cliches by asking for her hand in marriage.

Hide the Ring in Her Food
Before you even consider it, think about what happened when Edward Norton put the ring in a cake and proposed to Drew Barrymore in "Everyone Says I Love You." Your girlfriend might not accidentally swallow the ring like Drew did, but food is greasy and sticky, and you do not want to propose with a greasy, sticky ring.

At a Sporting Event
If you watched the news about the guy who proposed to his girlfriend during a UCLA game, then you probably want to nix the idea of doing the same thing. If that is not enough to discourage you, browse YouTube for videos of failed proposals during sporting events. Despite the romantic gesture, women simply do not enjoy pressure, especially from hundreds if not thousands of people they do not know.

On a Ketchup Packet
There is only one word to describe this type of proposal and that is "cheap." Marriage is not only an emotional commitment, but also a financial one. If you cannot at least buy a ring or make an effort to make the event special by spending a few extra dollars, then do not bother. If you cannot be financially responsible, then the emotional responsibility is difficult, as well.

In Front of Her Family
You might be passionate about your love for her and want to shout it for everyone to hear, but most women do not like the idea of being put on the spot in front of family. She will feel more special if you make it a very exclusive event for only the two of you. Asking her without an audience also allows you to savor the moment after she accepts.

With a Flash Mob
The truth is the simplest proposals are the best and most meaningful proposals. A marriage proposal is an important event for both of you, but that does not mean you have to disrupt traffic just to ask your girl to marry you. Another downside is if she hates surprises, then you may not get your happy ending.

Sky Writing
Hiring a plane and asking a professional to skywrite your proposal is cool and romantic, but you also need to think about the cost, which is around $1,800 or more. It is a bad idea because you could instead use the money to buy your girlfriend a nicer ring or put it toward her dream wedding. The moment is much sweeter and romantic when a whole lot of cash did not just go up in smoke.
