Crap, I never been doing stuff like that. Normally beer and pizza is my kinda date. But then again, marriage is the last thing on my mind right now.
But what if the girl thinks that the waiter is asking her to marry him? What if he winks or smiles or something (sorry for being negative) Anyway, as some said before, just be sure of the answer, if yes ask anyway you want unless it is something really wierd/freaky. Go with the tradition and get on your knee
as for me, i find it sweeter if the proposal is in its simplest way yet very romantic. no need for expensive restaurants or extravagant preparations. just make it simple but from the heart of course
The ambience should have a romantic feeling and there should be an element of surprise. Dont forget your camera.
It seems the blog is started for gettin to know abt the best way to propose a gal but wer it is heading to...
Take your girl on the boat(yahct) ride then ask her, if she rejects your proposal then tell him to jump from the boat b'coz it is yours boat.
Go on boating with her and propose her and say " I love you if you do then no problem or else jump out its my boat " hahaha.. EDIT: Sorry just saw a similar reply above. Actually I saw it in a movie so added it.
Nowadays going out and all is not worthy just express your feelings and tell your future plans. It may do something.
Bearing in mind this thread is over 840 days old i think he may have popped the question already!! B.
