How to Propose to Your Girlfriend

Proposing to your girlfriend is something you get to do once, if you're lucky! It's important that you don't mess up!

The following tips will tell you how to propose to your girlfriend and hopefully survive to tell the tale!

1. Make it personal! There's no excuse for carbon copying an idea from somewhere else, especially since the two of you should have many shared experiences! So you know exactly what she likes!

2. You shouldn't be surprised by her answer! If you're not completely or at least 99% sure that she'll say yes, then you've probably not been going out long enough!

3. Try your hardest to make it a surprise for her! This is one of the biggest moments in her life, so please don't make it an anti climax!

4. Only make it a public proposal if you're extra certain she'll say yes! You don't want it to turn into a humiliating experience do you!

5. Look after the ring! It's your precious! Don't give it to the Waiter to serve as desert or bury it in sand! You'd deserve to lose it if you did that!

6. Make sure you go down on one knee! It's old and corny but she always imagined her proposal would be like that ever since she was a little girl, so don't let her down!

7. Practice! You'll feel stupid doing it, but make sure you do and I mean in front of the mirror and your Dog! Otherwise, she'll be telling all her mates how you bumbled the most important words in both your lives!

8. Make sure you have a romantic setting! Flowers, candles, music and good food! It's all about the romance over big and lavish!

9. If you're planning on getting married quickly, then propose in the winter and aim for a spring wedding! Otherwise propose in the spring and you'll have a whole year to prepare!

10. Finally, enjoy it! This is your big moment! Just make sure you've thought through every eventuality and you'll be fine! Good luck!
