The following tips will give you advice on how to propose marriage:

1. You should already know or at least be 99% certain that she’ll say yes. You don’t want to look silly by being turned down. If you’re not sure she’ll say yes, then you probably haven’t been going out long enough!

2. You need to surprise her with your proposal! If she suspects anything then you need to change plans! Every girl deserves to be taken completely by surprise!

3. If you’re planning on making a public proposal then you need to be extra certain she’ll say yes to avoid turning it into the most humiliating experience of your life! You don’t want her to say yes just to spare your blushes!

4. Make your proposal personal, you know her better than anybody else after all! Never completely carbon copy an idea or she’ll feel cheated!

5. Guard the ring with your life! Never even think about giving it to the Waiter to bring over with desert or go burying it in sand for her to find!
