gonna ask the ladyfriend to marry me this weekend, wish me luck. although from her constant “when the fuck you gonna marry me slacker” comments i feel i wont be surprised by the answer.
not gonna be anything very romantic, gonna go for a walk down at the beach while we are at my family’s christmas gathering. i dont go in for PDA, and she would cut my face open if i asked her in a public place anyway. out of interest though, to those bullies who have decided to ruin their lives, how did you do it?
took her to spend the night at a beach house my parents share, which has a roof deck. invited her out on the deck to look at the stars, and proposed there.
Nice knowing you, Alex. It’s always so romantic being corralled into asking someone to marry you.
Anyway, I have a bit of experience with these things, considering I have done it twice and been successful in that they said yes. First time it was on a family holiday on an island, there was this little cove beach and I was all, “we should get some photographs, you go stand on those rocks and look out to sea and I’ll get some good shots”, got down on one knee (on jagged rocks, not advisable) and she turned around and I asked. It would have been beautiful, if it weren’t for the violent storm the night before that resulted in the beach being covered in green algae like filth, with rubbish and whatever else was churned up in the ocean and dumped on the beach. About a year later we were separated.
The second one I took to the waterfront near our house and, on one knee, proposed. She said yes, then I surprised her with a limousine waiting at the house to take us to Soundwave, a metal festival. Less than two weeks later I was arrested on her false accusations to the police and the last time I saw her she was committing perjury on the stand in an attempt to have me locked up.
No advice/stories here, but congrats mate, hope it all goes well

Mine was after we had a family lunch at our house. I had organised for her borthers to “clean-up” as we had spent a day cooking and preparing (she has a large family). So took her down to the local for a drink while they boys went to work.
When we got home it was dark and the lights were out, I got her to close her eyes, pressed play on the stereo (which was set to a specific song), walked her out the back to the deck where they boys had setup a small table with two chairs, a bottle of moet in an ice bucket, 100+ tea light candles and spread the petals from a large bunch of roses over the floor. When I got her to open her eyes the shock nearly knocked her over. As she turned around to ask me what was happening down onto the knee I went.
I figured, if it is going to be the last romantic gesture of my life, it may as well be a good one. worked like a charm btw.

I got up Sat morn at 6 am and bought a nice breakfast from her favorite bakery. Set up the serving tray with all bells and whistles, small vase with flower, sugar bowl etc. Did this to delay her noticing the ring box. Put it on the tray in an unobtrusive spot.
Woke her up with breakfast in bed, and then waited until she noticed the box. Got down on the good knee and proposed at that point.
She said no, but I wore her down after about a year of MK-ultra “therapy”.
