Proposing to your girlfriend is something that hopefully you’re only going to do once! Hopefully!!! Before you propose to your girlfriend, read these tips to give yourself a little advantage!

1. Like all good lawyers, only ask the question if you know the answer! If you think there’s a good chance she’ll say “no” then she probably will! You obviously haven’t given your courtship long enough!

2. If you’re considering a public proposal ie in front of her family or at a ball game then you need to be extra sure she’ll say “yes!” You don’t want her to accept only to change her mind when you’re alone!

3. You really have to surprise the girl! Eliminate any chance of her finding out by only enlisting the help of trusted friends who can keep quiet.

4. Always personalize your engagement proposal! You know her better than anybody else so this should be easy. Never carbon copy an idea you read on the web or in a magazine!

5. Take a knee! Its corny and cliche but it’s how since she was a little girl she always imagined her proposal would be, so don’t let her down!

6. Guard the ring! Don’t risk losing it in some elaborate engagement scheme by burying it in sand or giving it to the Dog to deliver to her! It’s not worth it!

7. Keep heavy eye contact! You will show confidence and she will know that you mean it!

8. Ambiance is very important. Create the setting with candles, music, good food and dim lights! Most girls find this preferential to a huge public spectacle of a proposal!

9. Consider your timing! If you propose in the winter, then it’s just a few months before you could have a spring wedding! For a long engagement, go for a spring proposal! It could be a whole year before you would have to go through with it!

10. Just relax! It’ll go fine just as long as everything is planned like a military operation! This is your big moment, good luck!

Before I give you some engagement proposal ideas, you need to make sure that you don’t simply copy somebody else’s ideas!

You should take any idea and make it personal to you and your lady by using some of the many shared experiences you have together!

I hope the following engagement proposal ideas give you some inspiration for you and your lady:

1. Mail her a special love poem and a photo of you on one knee. Wait for her post to arrive and when you hear her scream, knock on her door and propose for real.

2. Say that you’re away on a business trip for a special anniversary time. You’ll be away for 2 weeks. Go 1 week without seeing her to make it seem real, then on the anniversary, surprise her with your presence and propose.

3. Go on a sun set hot-air balloon ride over the mountains. Over champagne and under the stars, you can propose. Make sure you take a jigsaw puzzle for the balloon operator, or it could get awkward!

4. Go building sand castles, or digging for shells on the beach. You can “stumble” upon an old bottle with a love poem inside. Read her the poem, it will become clear it is about her and then propose.

5. You need to be extra certain she’ll say yes for this one! Go for an instant wedding! Take her for a meal and propose! When she says “yes” you can start the wedding on the spot! Make sure that everything is planned out!

6. Get her 3 roses and say that they symbolize the past, present and future. Have the ring attached to the future!

7. Go for a day at the spa followed by a professional photo shoot! While you’re getting the photos, get down on one knee and propose. You will have the moment forever! Afterwards, go for an amazing meal followed by a 5 star hotel.
