Men everywhere are often a little nervous about popping the big question and committing their entire lives to one person. Although this is a nerve racking time in his life, she is probably looking forward to having an engagement ring on her finger and calling you her fiancé. Here are a few pointers before you ask her to be yours forever with that stunning diamond engagement ring:
First of all, make sure she is the one. You should propose because you genuinely want to - not because she has been dropping hints for as long as you can remember. Do not listen to your friends when they tell you it is time for you to settle down. Make sure you listen to your heart and come to that realization on your own. Also, be fairly certain she will say yes! Heaven forbid you go through the trouble of shopping for engagement rings only to find she is nowhere close to the page you are on.
It may sound old fashioned, but ask her father or her parents! Yes, men still do this. It is not so much about getting his permission as it is about respecting her family, parents and asking for their blessing. Starting off your engagement on the wrong foot could be detrimental to your relationship.
Think about when you are going to propose. The actual proposal involves a lot of planning, so you need to step up your game for this event, guys! There is much more to it than just buying an engagement ring and sticking it on her finger. Get with your close friends or family members to help plan if you need to. Just make sure they can keep a secret!
Practice saying the words, "Will you marry me?" I know this may sound silly, but when it comes to the exact moment when you have to say those words, some men become tongue tied. Make sure you know exactly what you are going to say well before you actually say it. You may feel like a dork practicing in the mirror, but it will certainly pay off when you drop to one knee (you must drop to one knee!) and present her with the engagement ring that symbolizes your promise to marry her.
Before you know it you will be neck deep in wedding planning, so make sure you take the time to enjoy being engaged and showing off the ring to everyone who congratulates you!
