This one goes primarily to the women, I guess, since society expects the male to be the one to propose.

What are some guidelines that you'd like us to follow when we start thinking about "popping the question?" Where is that line where we go over the top and make you want to vomit instead of say "yes" to us?

I tricked my wife... told her it was a graduation ring, since she was graduating from college that week

I dont exactly know what Im going to do when I pop the question. I kind of know where i want to do it

I don't plan on 'going over the top' whenever I pop it. Have a nice (diamondless) ring and a nice romantic setting.

uhh, i tend to ask the boyfriend on average about 5-15 times a week, sometimes he says hes, sometimes he says no. but it's always fun to surprise him with it. its funny. obviously im not taking it seriously.

just dont pull a hugh (british guy who was gonna marry lisa from the simpsons) and try to do one of those light shows. I'm pretty sure a girl will appreciate you pushing a donkey out from a bush with a sign saying "will you marry me" better.

DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT do it at a sporting event on the Jumbotron 2000. Very cliche.

That thought never even entered my mind.

Im thinking about popping the question on the Brooklyn Promenade. Maybe even Central Park. It will depend on my mood.

My Mrs. can't see without her glasses. I think when I proposed she could only hear my voice.

I'm extremely hard to surprise. I'd go as far to say that I can't be surprised. So I'm not sure anything would be "over the top" b/c I would know it was coming.

i'm gonna break tradition and be the one to propose....hmmm...i think i'll steal his clothes, tie him up, and then tell him, that's right tell him, that we're getting married. then i'd have my way with him of course

Meh, just do it somewhere peaceful and nice and Ill be happy. For the love of god dont slip the ring into food or a glass of champers.

that's why it's even funnier :)

I'm going to to shave "will you marry me" into my backhair. Seems pretty romantic to me.

sometimes i like to be the dominant one :|

He called me from Florida - said he had something important to ask. I knew what it was- said he better get his butt back and say it in person. I greeted him at the door in my all-together:D

I don't remember if he ever actually asked.:lol:

I don't believe in elaborate proposals.

I proposed in a rather casual resturant. I did not even give her a ring.

My second marriage, my wife proposed to me.

I just think its sad how much is placed on the ring...

Imagine if I propose to someone and get her no ring or a small ring and she tells peolpe she's engaged, what would the TYPICAL reaction be?

"Lets see the ring."

Upon seeing a 'substandard ring' im sure less delite would be there.
