What point in the evening to propose?

I'd be tempted to do it just before leaving for the restaurant as you could use the rest of the night as a celebration if she says yes! More importantly, the worrying will be off your chest and you can enjoy the night.

I'm surprised nobody has said during the inter-course... I'll get my coat.

I'm doing this next month as well. Decided I'm doing it around the dessert time. Seems like the best choice. Going to make a song and dance though, she's going to get proper surprised. She hates not knowing stuff. This will be something she can tell the grand kids and that
 
Just make sure if you do propose and get married, you stay married dont do what i did get divorced and then realise your a *** and then have to go through getting her back and doing the whole thing again at great expense next year in Mexico!!!!
 
Do it when the conversation leads that way or if you can engineer the conversation to go the way you want it to. Do it when it feels right else you'll be fussing until you get to "that" point.
 
I just wouldn't do it in a restaurant.

Have a nice meal and go for a walk afterwards. Hopefully there's somewhere suitable near you.

She could feel very self conscious and not appreciate being on the spot in public. Only you know her well enough to decide though.
 
Most women absoloutely love PDAs (public displays of affection) you know the things that make us red blooded males cringe and shy away from whenever possible. Im sure she would love to be proposed to by her man in a restaraunt. Go for it!
 
I proposed at around 2 in the afternoon i think it was. Just before she went off for a 2 hour spa treatment!

Also try and not engineer the conversation in the way i did as she won't remember the nice things! I started by telling her that i upgrade my pc because i want the best, and spent a fortune on my hifi because i wanted the best but with her i've already got the best (this was the point i dropped to one knee)

The problem was that she was too busy thinking "oh god how much has he spent on needless crap this time"
 
Where abouts are you going?

I was going to originally ask her on a night out in London. Go for some dinner, see a show, go for a walk along south bank or something and do the deed there :p Recently changed my mind to popping the question next year on our travels. Most probably in Australia whilst walking along the beach or something :cool:

I wouldn't personally do it in the restaurant, as like others say she probably won't want to show all her emotions in public etc. Do it somewhere quieter, I'd go for a romantic walk or something!

It's opposite way round for me ;)


Personally I agree that doing it actually in the restaurant is possibly not as romantic as say, stopping over a beautiful vista, or something like that.

Or, doing it at the place you first asked her out or went on your first date... or something which means something to both of you?

You know her best so you have to go what she would find more "special" :)

Good luck! :cool:
 
i got a private capsule on the London Eye on valentine day - full hamper & champagne, the works. Went down well :)

This man speaks the truth. Do whatever you can to avoid your proposal being generic and cliche. Make it something special and memorable, something you'll both look back on with fond memories.
 
I opened up a kinder egg and put the ring inside, re sealed and wrapped the egg and gave that to her, with a note inside saying will you marry me. This was quite tricky!

She loved it.

She was also in a mood with me because I refused to make her breakfast in bed and gave her a kinder egg instead lol.
