  1. Avoid the expected <\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Although some women aren\u2019t remotely shy about hinting at a date they\u2019re expecting to be proposed to on \u2013 and you won\u2019t want to disappoint them there \u2013 it\u2019s all part of the magical proposal process to avoid the unexpected by proposing to them at a time they least expect. Whilst expected dates are something to avoid, the engagement ring<\/span><\/span> she\u2019s been expecting isn\u2019t, though if you\u2019re proposing with a ring she isn\u2019t expecting \u2013 make sure it surpasses her expectations.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Be prepared<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Preparation is key here, though you could continue to bumble about if she finds that endearing. Prepare the proposal well in advance and don\u2019t leave anything to chance by thinking about everything that could go wrong and planning accordingly. It\u2019s probably advantageous to allow yourself some room to move but don\u2019t deviate off course too much.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Surprise don\u2019t shock<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In an age of extreme proposals many men, and indeed quite a few women, have set themselves the task of shocking their partners with extreme proposals that have the tendency to backfire \u2013 often in a big way. The art of proposing involves surprises, not shocks, plus you don\u2019t want them to have a heart attack after being arrested or something similarly outlandish.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Don\u2019t leave a trail<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This follows on from the previous point in that proposals should be surprising, perhaps they suspect something is up and they\u2019ll no doubt want something to happen, but try your hardest to keep the surprise a surprise. Depending on what you\u2019ve planned, don\u2019t leave receipts for engagement jewellery<\/span><\/span> lying around, make restaurant or hotel reservations when she\u2019s not present and if you choose to tell your friends \u2013 they might be able to make suggestions or even help out with the surprise \u2013 ensure they keep quiet!<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Make it personal <\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The proposal should be a personal experience so treat it like you\u2019re appealing to their interests, senses and tastes \u2013 which you are in many regards \u2013 by planning the proposal around what they\u2019re interested in and what they like, not what you\u2019re into. This is also the case with the ring accompanying the question, give some thought to the jewellery she likes but don\u2019t ask questions which will give the surprise away.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Relax \u2013 don\u2019t blurt!<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Daunting, stressful, troubling, worrisome \u2013 these are all adjectives that could easily describe an otherwise usually composed man prior to popping the question even though he\u2019s done everything right, including procuring the perfect diamond engagement ring from thediamondstore. It\u2019s only natural that a man would be nervous before he pops the big question \u2013 proposals are after all the time in which a man is exposed more so than any other time in his life \u2013 take a big breath, or three, and say what you\u2019ve practiced saying a million times, even if you fluff it she\u2019ll still be overjoyed.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Don\u2019<\/b><\/i>t forget how memorable it was \u2013<\/b><\/i> take photos!<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                How memorable was that proposal? A good question and one that a few years later both you and your spouse might be struggling to answer \u2013 so take photos! If you\u2019ve proposed in a restaurant or public place ask someone else to take a couple of photos, if the people near you are aware that you\u2019ve just proposed and she\u2019s accepted they\u2019ll be very happy to take a photo to help you preserve the special moment \u2013 who wouldn\u2019t?<\/p>\n
