How You Should Pop the Big Question

Do Your Research
The cardinal rule is that every women is going to want something different. The better you know your woman the better prepared you’ll be to create a masterpiece. It’s a good idea to spend a little time investigating her preferences.

Ask Her Directly
If you ask her what she wants, than you’ll kill the mystery and romance. Instead, ask her what she doesn’t want. This will help keep you operating on safe grounds, without her being tipped to what you’re going to do.

Ask Her Family & Friends
If you don’t want to take the risk of asking her directly, than talk to her family and friends to get ideas from them.

Be Observant
Your best tool for doing research is yourself. Dust off your observation skills and you’ll be amazed how much you can learn by just paying attention.

Things to Keep in Mind
There are several variables you should keep in mind when putting together your proposal.

Public vs. Private
Should you propose at a Nugget’s game? While some women would love being proposed too in front of thousands of people, a lot of women wont. Don’t propose at a sports game unless she’s a big sports fan.

Big Production vs. Simple Commitment
A lot of women dream of a prince in shining armor riding in on a big white horse to sweep them off their feet. A big production ensures a memory that will last forever. But some women would prefer a simple, but heartfelt proposal.

Suspense vs. Surprise
Most men rely on the “Shock and Aw” approach to proposing. They want the moment when they bring out the ring and get down on one knee to be a complete surprise. Another approach to “Shock and Aw” is “Anxious Anticipation.” If you give her hints throughout the day of the proposal, her emotions are going to build into a frenetic buzz from the suspense of what is about to happen. The other benefit of building suspense is that you give her a chance to be fully in the moment.
