- Not in front of his parents, my parents, or anyone else who has a big stake in the answer.
Pretty much anything else would be ok. In the best case scenario I'd get to pick out the ring, but the one I'm dating now is pretty traditional and would probably get it himself. Which would be fine. |

And I'd want it to be a surprise (maybe after a petty fight or something).

Date: October 23rd, 2006 5:13 PM Author: concupiscible arrogant tanning salon community account I agree with Rowan's criteria and would also add not on tv, like those people who show up outside Good Morning America with signs that say "Marry me, Lauren."
I think it would be nice for him to ask in just a normal circumstance. I'd like to help pick out the ring. But I figure if I'm going to marry a guy I'd like our relationship to be solid enough for him to not feel like he has to make some big case for himself by going all out and spending thousands of dollars to convince me to marry him (ring, dinner, trip to Venice or whatever). |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2006 5:15 PM Author: Brilliant effete private investor You should establish what kind of ring you want very early so there's plenty of time for you to think that he forgot what you wanted. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=511358&forum_id=1#6842597) |

Date: October 23rd, 2006 5:20 PM Author: concupiscible arrogant tanning salon community account Heh, I figure if the guy (if there ever is a guy) does buy it without me the size will be wrong, so I'll have to go back and get something slightly different anyway.

|
Date: October 23rd, 2006 5:29 PM Author: indecent institution Oh, yes, proposing on TV would be awful as well.
I'd agree that by the time the proposal comes around, the trappings don't matter that much as long as they're not outright humiliating. Really, most engaged couples I know dated long enough before the proposal that they already had a tacit understanding that they'd get married at some point. |

Date: October 24th, 2006 12:21 AM Author: comical pale digit ratio persian um id wait at least a year and a half of dating before i started thinking about the proposal.
by then it will be over 2 years. id think if she stuck by my side for over 2 years she'd be in it for the long haul. by the time of the proposal it'd be like 3 years. |
|
Date: October 24th, 2006 12:43 PM Author: indecent institution That's a much better reason to think a girl will say yes than assuming she'll cave because you bought her a nice ring. Really, if she wants to marry you, she's going to say yes whether you take her to Italy or ask her while she's brushing her teeth in the morning.

Date: October 23rd, 2006 10:58 PM Author: indecent institution I can honestly say I don't give a shit. The money spent on the rock just ends up being money I wouldn't get to spend on other things, and some of the other things sound more appealing.
Might be because I've been engaged and had a big rock before, or because I'm currently dating someone who doesn't make way more than I do. |
