Top 8 Questions He Has Before Proposing
Are you planning an engagement and looking for proposal ideas that capture the spirit of your relationship and the love you feel for each other? We put together some of the most common questions we hear during the proposal planning process, so you can make sure your proposal is seamless, stress-free, and most importantly, romantic
1. Should I get down on one knee? Traditionally, men get down on one knee when they’re popping the question as a sign of respect and chivalry. Many women find this tradition romantic and charming, but that’s not the case for everyone! Think about how many traditions you and your partner follow–or if you tend to create your own.
2. Public or private? It’s exciting to think about a crowd gathering around you as you propose and cheering when she says “yes!” But make sure you consider your girlfriend’s personality before picking an engagement spot. If she’s outgoing and social, a public place like a city or restaurant might be the perfect place. If she’s quieter and keeps to herself, she may prefer a more intimate setting.
3. What should I say? It can be nerve-wracking to profess all of your emotions in a single moment. Take some time a few days before the proposal to think about your future and what you love about her, which should help you plan what you’re going to say. If you have a general idea of the messages you want to get across, the moment will be that much more special.
4. How do I know if her family likes me? Take some time to interact with them and express how serious you are about sharing a life with their daughter. When they see how genuine and sincere you are, they’re likely to support your engagement. Depending on how traditional her family is, you may want to consider showing additional respect by asking her father for his blessing.
5. Surprise or no surprise? In most cases, you’ve probably talked with your significant other about getting engaged. This is the best way to make sure you’re both on the same page. Don’t worry, though–after you’ve talked about it, there are still ways to surprise her! Work with friends and family to keep her from guessing, or make her think you’re going on an everyday date night before wowing her with a magical proposal!
6. Who should I tell? Similar to above, most families will respect your decision to propose if you talk with them beforehand. You might also have friends you can talk to who will offer moral support. But if you have friends or family members who don’t have a strong reputation for keeping secrets, you may want to keep them out of the loop until after the proposal. Trust your gut, and tell the people who matter most.
7. Will she say yes? If you’ve both expressed that you’re ready to get married to one another, all that’s left is planning a magical proposal that shines just as bright as your feelings for her!

8. Where should I put the ring? If you’re planning a surprise proposal, keeping the ring safe and out of sight is crucial. One of my favorite suggestions for keeping the mystery alive is a slim engagement ring from Ring Stash. She won’t know until you’re down on one knee that you have a diamond in your pocket!
