20 Creative But Very Romantic Ways to Proppose

Have you ever got anxious getting up and down a couch, squeezing the best and most impressive idea ever to pop a question? These 20 awesome ways to propose are worth having a look, they are absolutely far from boredom.

1. Red roses in a car boot

Put a massive bunch of red roses in your car boot, make sure the roses take every inch of the boot and lay a box of the ring on the top of the roses. Drive her for a picnic and when you reach the destination, ask her to help you get some picnic stuff from the car boot. When you open the boot, she will be stunned by those roses and you take the box of the ring, down on your knee!

2. Ring vending machine

Bring her to a vending machine when you go out with her, ask what she wants to drink. You may pretend to put coins into the machine and choose the drink, then you also pretend to grope for the drink in the compartment. You turn to her and say, “There’s no the drink but what I’ve found is this”. Show her the ring and pop the question.

3. The prophecy comes true

Ask her to go to see a fortune teller, women love this kind of thing! You can leave her with the fortune teller and hide somewhere near the spot, noticing what’s going on. You surely have had a deal with the fortune teller by asking her to tell your partner she will get married soon. She will expect it will come true and get excited. You go straight to her, get down on your knee and propose.

4. Propose in the bathroom

Write ‘Will you marry me?’ backwards on a big paper and post it on the back of the bathroom door. When your girlfriend gets in the bathroom, shuts the door and looks into the mirror, then she will see the proposal. You are outside the bathroom right in front of the door, waiting for her inevitable excitement. She will immediately run out of the bathroom and see you down on you knee with a ring in your hand.

5. Empty ring box

This way of proposal appears in the film ‘Serendipity’. You prepare a set of boxes of decreasing sizes placed one inside another and give it to your girlfriend who will definitely expect an engagement ring inside. When she’s opening the box, she only finds box after box until the last tiny box which is expected to carry the ring. However, she finds nothing! Then, you come to her with a ring and propose.

6. Ring in a mangosteen

If you are fed up with the same style of a ring box, try this!
You ask your girlfriend to go out for a dinner and ask her to wait at the restaurant and you will rush to her as soon as you finish your work (or any excuses you can come up with). You pretend to be late for the date and tell her how sorry you are. Then, you put three mangosteens (of which fleshes have been removed) on a plate and ask her to have a look.
The first mangosteen – a message in a small piece of paper saying ‘I’m deeply sorry for being late’
The second mangosteen – a message in a small piece of paper saying ‘All these mangosteens are the reason’
The last mangosteen – a ring and a message in a small piece of paper saying ‘Marry me’

7. Let the picture lead your way

Have a street caricaturist sketch a picture of you and your girlfriend after you have had a deal with him to draw a picture of you being on your knee, proposing her. You and your girlfriend sit down, letting the caricaturist do his job. When she sees the picture, she will be really puzzled. Then, you do exactly the same as the picture – on bended knee with a ring in a hand.

8. Is this enough?

You let her try a ring size chart (you might ask her straightforwardly what size of a ring she wears). She will assume you are willing to buy her a ring so she will start blaming you for not keeping it as a surprise. You give her the warmest smile ever and show her a ring, saying “What about this?, is it surprising enough?” Fall to your knee and propose.

9. Annoying questions

This way of marriage proposal might work with only some kinds of women!
You have to prepare loads of questions which can be anything from political to nonsensical queries. While having a walk with her, you keep asking her questions and make sure they’re irritating enough. When she is extremely annoyed and seriously asks you to stop asking, you say “Ok, ok but let me ask the last question, I’ve been always very curious”. Then, you bend on you knee with a ring, asking “Will you marry me?”

10. Underwater proposal

Take her to an aquarium where you can hire divers to display your proposal in a beautiful massive fish tank. You write “Will you marry me?” with your name on a canvas or any materials that can be wet and ask the divers to hold it against the tank in front of your girlfriend. When she finishes reading, pull out the ring, on your bended knee and propose.

11. Proposal in candlelight

Line the candles saying ‘Will you marry me?’ in front of your girlfriend’s house. Then, give her a call and ask her to watch your show outside the house from her window. Light the candles in a queue so that it can correctly be read ‘Will you marry me?’

12. A help from a pet

If she is a pet lover, a lovely rabbit, a puppy or a kitty do help! You might buy her a pet, tie a ring around its neck, let it walk to her and then she will see a ring. You go straight to her and pop the question before your girlfriend and the lovely little witness.

13. Proposal on a windscreen

If she has a car, write ‘Will you marry me?’ in the dust on your girlfriend’s windsreen (make sure she sees it before she gets her car washed)

14. Love is on the way

You know what the route she uses everyday during her way home or on the way to work. Write ‘Will you marry me’? with your name on big letters on a big poster board and stick them along the way on - a tree, a lamppost etc. You wait for her at home and then you know what to do when she arrives.

15. Under the same umbrella

In rainy season, you write ‘Will you marry me?’ and also hang a ring on an umbrella. When it’s raining while you are out with your girlfriend, you open the umbrella, hold her tight, she sees the proposal and the ring.

16. Surrender to her heart

Take your girlfriend to see you play in a sporting event (not a serious one). After half an hour of the game or maybe during the halftime, you quite playing, raise a white flag that says ‘I surrender’. This will be really puzzling to your girlfriend. Then, you walk towards her, raise another white flag which says ‘I surrender to your heart, Will you marry me?’

17. A sweet meeting room

If your girlfriend is a workaholic, seize this chance to propose her with a very impressive way.
Firstly, you ask her boss and colleagues to help you work it out. Give her a call and ask her to abruptly attend an emergency meeting on the weekend. Ask her colleagues to display the presentation with PowerPoint on a big screen. When she steps in the meeting room, the screen says ‘The most important project in life’ and the next page says ‘Marry me’. Then, you walk into the room with a huge bunch of red roses and a ring.

18. A star in your hand

Choose a romantic location where you can see a number of stars in the sky. While you and your girlfriend are watching the stars together, you immediately break up the silence and say “I can get you a star”, then you show her a ring in you palm and say “You are the brightest star that leads my life, Will you marry me?”

19. Practise the proposal

While your girlfriend is sitting on a sofa reading, you pretend to speak something to yourself and wander about in the house till she asks what you keep wandering for. You ignore her and wait till the second time or third of the question, then you reply “I’m practising”. That will absolutely increase her curiosity so she comes up with another question “Practising what?!?!” You say “I’m practising proposing”. Then, you bend on your knee in front of her, a ring in a hand and say “Will you marry me? This is not a practice, I really mean it this time”

20. Sudden proposal

You and your girlfriend have a romantic evening in a kitchen, cooking dinner. While you both are having a dinner by candlelight, you call her off guard by saying “I’ll let you get yourself ready and I will propose you in 10 seconds”. She will be surely speechless and shocked and probably take minutes. You start counting one to ten and propose!
