hey guys, My missus and I have been together for over 4 years, we have a kid on the way in about 8 weeks , now here's my idea, my missus has been hassling me about popping the question, I have an idea - but not sure if I should do it ..... I was thinking about making a website called willyoumarryme***.com (wont put name there in case some smart ass registers it), the idea is to keep it a secret from her and only when she finds it I will ask her (online) to marry me. I would have some images and videos etc. with a regular article or update, about us and my progression, with the official marriage proposal on it. I will market the site and videos on MySpace and Youtube using my skills (bots ) in the hope to gather some attention and in particular some attention from her friends or someone that knows her and points her to my site. What do ya reckon ? is this a great nerdly way to propose to my missus ? Thanks for any feedback and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, jason
I hope so, that's one fear - as she wanted something special and my second fear is that it will take a while for her to find it (or she will never find it - might be a good thing ) . yeah I was thinking that, but it's probably already been done, there might be others doing it right now aswell ...
'romantic 2.0 idea'! Do they give 'green rep' in General Chat room for humor? The idea may be more impressive to a webmaster than to an offline girl; or maybe a breath-taking experience for a girl!? you should better advise with female friends. If you do it, be creative with multimedia, pictures, words, summ all memories to treasure in one special online presentation. I don't know if anyone tried it before, but there's a chance you'd make a place in local/global newspapers if you decide to publish the story afterwards.
Thanks for your suggestions "Sportiana" and if it did end up getting media attention then it would add some value to the proposal and uniqueness, I am not aiming that high for a little while - being a webmaster, I like the build up and to watch the original site flourish - if it grew too quick then the site and idea would be short lived. Mmmm I don't know still .... any ladies out there ? Thought plz.
Well, only you know your intended well enough to gauge whether this will be a good or a bad idea but I'm thinking she might prefer the romantic dinner, one-knee approach myself? Website might be a good backup plan to seal the deal and all that but, y'know, a bit impersonal. Having said that my notion of a chick-flick is 'Land of the Dead' so what do I know?
Ha. Just think of the juice you've got on your side whenever you have a fight. You don't love me! Yes, I do! No, you don't, you only think of yourself! It would be worth building it for that alone. Really, it's a great idea and I imagine will pick up some media attention - at least locally which is all you care about in order to get the question popped.
Password protected shed in the garden would be better... but I guess that's for a few years down the road.
Nerdy, yes. Good, not sure. It's not like asking her to go out for dinner or something like that. It's way more important, and to be honest, I'd rather do it in person. (If she's kinda nerdy too she might like it, though.)
Just do it in the old good way Romantic dinner + flowers + ring + you in your knees and there you have it
Hahaha, the responses had me laughing, i was thinking about a password protected Yes or No page just for her to answer and the shed : I already have one to hide away in LoL, she always says "it better be bloody special if you've made me wait four years to ask me" so a dinner or something normal wont cut it, online and if I gather some interest may make it different and special (and it's also just me, being a computer nut). I could always go ahead and if it fails to reach her and becomes a flop I can just propose to her and post it to the site afterwards.
Just do it through myspace chat or some other open arena chat service for the whole room to know. she might be completely embarassed and put off. But hey you'll have your day in the sun.
