Friday Fun: How Would You Like to Be Proposed to?
Okay, so it may not happen today, tomorrow or for a couple years, but maybe you've thought about the day you'll ask someone to marry you or be asked the question yourself.
So, ideally, how would you like to be proposed to? Would you be in public or alone with your dreamboat? What would the experience be like?
And conversely, what would make you say NOOOOOO! and run away, proposally speaking?

If a girl asked me to marry her, I'd be shocked, but flattered =P
Sure, it could mean I took too long, or maybe she just wanted to be the one to do it.
Either way, for me any way would be perfect. As long as it's the question from the person I love, I don't think I, personally, would mind.
I don't want it to be in public. That would be too much pressure to say yes if I felt like saying no. I want it to be just us. If some guy proposed to me in a tremendously huge public setting (sports stadium/court/field/etc) I just might vomit.
I'm simple-- I want it to be just us. I don't want anything fancy.
Reasons I'd run away screaming no:
1. We've been dating two weeks.
2. We haven't dated at all, who the heck are you?
Other than that, no reason to yell, right?
huge public things are cute if that's what you're into. it needs to be something that means something to both of you. something you'll never forget.
When it's just to two of us and not in public. And he better have a darn big diamond!
@thats_happy@xanga - you're right. if being in public is your thing, he should do it that way. it all boils down to him knowing you and doing it in such a way that shows he has put thought and effort into it. good point.
@YouTOme@xanga - Haha I definitely agree with you and I plan on being the one popping the question. However, the question did ask if I was the one being asked the question, so for the sake of the question, I replied accordingly =P
@YouTOme@xanga - Sorry to double reply, but this one is to your original comment. I agree with you completely. That's how I see life, proposal, and relationships. However, it's always nice to try and make it special because love will make it that way =P
Not in a public setting. I'm not a fan of big, extravagant things like that--too much pressure! Perhaps while we're taking a quiet walk? I've never really thought too closely about it...
Definitely taking a walk, something spontaneous, unexpected.
Not with a bunch of people around, but still somewhat public. A moment shared between me and the person I love.
my ideal proposal plan:
just the two of us, on a beach, sunset, while walking on the beach. =]
Something with music. Not in a song, but maybe after singing a song onstage at an open mic night...*le sigh* With his acoustic guitar.
I think it would be really sweet if he wrote a song for me or something. Or at least did something unique. But I would not want it to be where anyone else could see us. A public proposal would really freak me out. I think I'd just be so embarrassed that I wouldn't know what to say with everyone watching me.
I would run screaming if he asked me way too soon. I'd want to run screaming if it was something public, but I don't know if I actually would. But since most of my love interests tend to be more introverted, I don't run much risk for that.
it doesn't matter how they'd propose it would end up with a no anyways.
@YouTOme@xanga - Hahaha give me a link and I'll answer =P
I definitely don't want a big production. Just the two of us, and I'd prefer that I have NO idea it's coming. I want to be completely surprised.
As long as he meant it, I wouldnt care how he did it. He wouldnt even need a ring, just to mean what he said...
Just had to comment on this one because my husband proposed in what most would consider a bad way, but was perfect for me.
The two of us were taking a gander at this new house he'd just started renting, no one else, no flower petals, no diamond (heck, no ring at all), and he just leans over and says, "Soooo . . . will you marry me?" Anything public or really romantic would have felt fake to me, and he knew that.
Now, it would have been nice to have the ring, but he also knew that I hate diamonds (overpriced glass chips, grr) and actually my favorite stone is hematite (cheap as dirt, really, I just like the stone, it's pretty) and since he doesn't know anything about jewelry, he wanted me to pick out my own ring.
I would have run screaming if he had asked my father's permission first. I know, a lot of girls like that old custom, but believe me, I'm not a cow to be sold off, and that's how it would have made me feel. Fortunatly, I was very clear early on in our relationship about that, too.
So yay, my man did it all right for me by doing everything the world would call wrong.
Ultimate moral of the story: know the person you're proposing to before you start planning how you're going to do it. (Hopefully everyone would do this, anyways.)
Ooh, I think it'd be so cute for my guy to get together a bunch of our friends and family for a party! And we'd all be hanging out and such..
Then he pops the question front of everyone. xD
That'd be wonderful.
That sounds wonderful in my mind..
But since it's in my mind, it's slightly expected and I don't want that! :/
Needs to be a complete surprise, hahahaa. :)
to me that's simple, as long as he's the right guy, it wouldnt matter how he proposed to me. as long as he did. it would make me say no if it was the wrong guy or any of my exes that propose to me
All the cliche things like restaurants and big sports games are a noo. And the whole getting down on one knee thing too. I'd want it to be alone. With people around there's so much pressure. haa
This is a dream but I'd want it to go something like this;
We're sitting on the beach having a little picnic after a horse back ride, and we're just laughing and talking and enjoying the day. When he all of sudden says
"you know, I could spend the rest of my life like this."
me: "yeah me too."
him:"no seriously. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
me:"is that a marriage proposal?"
him:"yes."
me:"well I guess.... haha. I mean yes. Yes I want to spend forever with you too"
oh I'm such a dork.
;D
get down on one knee ring in hand  with flowers kind!!!
an please be a private placee ..lolbcoz somethimes people are unsure and need time to think!!if there is like so many people there....it will be like really pressured i feel hahaor i also dont mine the u know scoreboard kind of proposal!!!but that be contradicting my point above
I've never thought about it before. I don't want it to be in public or anything fancy. Just something really simple and it has to be the right timing too. When we're both in the right mood.
I would like it to be special. If he choses a public place, that's great. If he choses a private place - that's fine too. But it just has to be special.
I think it would be a sweet gesture if he asks my mother and grandmother for permission, but they have already made it very clear that he's got the go-ahead.
Knowing him, he would probably do it in a private place, or some place quiet. We'll see.
And it's not so much how he proposes to me, but how he treats me for the rest of our lives together.
First of all, he has to ask my dad first.
Then, just something in private. Just the two of us, with a ring, down on one knee. I don't want a production and I don't want anyone else there.
Traditional all the way. :)
