20 Creative But Very Romantic Ways to Proppose

May 26, 2008

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let the picture lead you 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?

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

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

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

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

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

Proposal on a windshield

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

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

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

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

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

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

Practice 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

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!

St Osyth, Essex

This only nudist beach in the whole of Essex is divided by dunes into 3 separate areas:families, gays and of course ’swingers’. So if you do happen upon a colony of tents, you know you have gone a dune too far ..

Studland Beach, Dorset

Studland Beach, Dorset

The northern part of this huge, award-winning beach is of course the National Trust’s only sanctioned nudist beach.

Black Rock Beach, Brighton

Black Rock Beach, Brighton

In spite of local authorities opposing the complete exhibition of mammary glands, naturists have been visiting this pebble and shingle beach sine the early 1980s. Those who dare to bare face a highly unrestricted and, sometimes, unsavoury audience.

Fraisthorpe Sands, Yorkshire

Fraisthorpe Sands, Yorkshire

Blighted by opposition from local authorities and their helicopter patrols, (rumour has it that a member of the prestigious Humberside constabulary, who’s also a nudist, has been forced into fleeing the beach), Fraisthorpe Sands is now a recognised naturist spot.

Walney Island, Cumbria

Walney Island, Cumbria

The extraordinarily soft and silky dunes can get up to nearly 20 metres tall here, creating natural suntraps - ideal for that all over tan.

Druridge Bay, Northumberland

Druridge Bay, Northumberland

This soft, silky and sandy beach is under private ownership and, unless you wander naked into the country park, nudists are welcomed here.

Kinshaldy Beach, Fife

Kinshaldy Beach, Fife

Almost four miles of dune-sheltered soft, golden sand provide plentiful scope for nude sunbathing and swimming. Weather permitting.

Morfa Dyffryn, Gwynedd

Morfa Dyffryn, Gwynedd

Frequented by nudists since the early 1940s, this glorious, beautiful, sweeping beach has a designated naturist area.

North Cotes, Lincolnshire

North Cotes, Lincolnshire

Onshore gales, dangerous tides and littered sands fail to deter Lincolnshire’s nudists from frequenting this remote beach.

Do you consider yourself a passionate naturist? If so, you probably know a couple more nudist beaches that we haven’t included here. Where are they then? Please let us know, cheers!

The World’s Most Crazy Windy Roads

May 25, 2008

Are you a windy road enthusiast? Which windy roads in the world would you like to get your fast car driven on? What’s your most fascinating windy road? We’ve profiled the top ten windy roads that the world has to offer. Check them out and let us know if you know of any better ones, cheers!

Col De Turini

Col De Turini

A famous mountain top in Southern France, Col De Turini is part of a 33 kilometre rally stage which starts from Sospel to La Bollene. It’s by far the highest point in the huge stage standing at an impressive 1,600 metres. This particular stretch of road is among the most difficult and dangerous but at the same time remarkably exciting stages in the World Rally Championship. It’s got the extraordinarily long straights on which cars can reach up to 180 km/h, 35 challenging and breathtaking views - everything that makes for one of the greatest driving roads in the world.

San Bernardino

San Bernardino

A sky-high mountain pass at a staggering 2,050 metres in the Swiss Alps, San Bernardino connects the towns of Misox and Hinterrhein. This windy road has its fair share of bends and hairpins but its core fame lies in its smooth roads and scenic views. It’s also got a 6.5 kilometre long tunnel but unfortunately with a speed limit of 80 km/h.

Davos

Davos

If you head south from Davos, Switzerland to Stelvio, Italy, you will find simply everything you’re looking for. This is without a shadow of a doubt a driving enthusiasts heaven, the sort of road which brings virtually everything about a car alive - miles after miles of completely deserted road with stunning views, limitless numbers of curves that would sure test every single aspect of your car, from steering, grip, power to brakes and handling. For those of you in the mood for a bit of tunnel blasting, there’s a couple of nice tunnels too.

Stelvio

Stelvio

On the way to Stelvio via Bormio, you will cross the famous Stelvio pass which, at 2800 metres, is the Alps’ second highest paved mountain road. Dubbed one of the world’s most challenging roads, it’s got 62 hairpins with 50 of them on the eastern ramp. As the roads are a lot narrower on the northern side with ridiculously tight hairpins, this is by far the toughest part. Roads are extremely steep on this side and the ascent is even tougher with occasional zero visibility to ongoing motors. The eastern/southern ramp, in contrast, has relatively faster and wider hairpins and smoother road surface, more satisfying for those keen on less extreme driving.

Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road

Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road

Now you need to have a look at this road. It’s literally a wet dream for anyone having ever even dreamt of driving a great car. A really great car in fact. It’s called the Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and leading experts have called it the best driving road in the whole bloody world! Over 7.5 miles, the magnificent road has 62 curves, a 4100 foot climb, and optimally smooth straights. It’s a blessing that it’s only 7.5 miles along because you would be absolutely knackered after driving it.

Hardknott Pass

Hardknott Pass

Hardknott Pass is the joint steepest road in the UK winding its way up past one of the oldest Roman Forts. It’s a single track road and can get really quiet so you probably won’t meet anything. It’s mostly 1 in 3 but a couple or corners do reach 1 in 2. It’s not the fastest road but tests a car’s slow speed cornering and requires low-down pull in order to get out of the curvy bends.

La Tremola

La Tremola

If you do hit this particular windy road, we guarantee you will remember it for the rest of your life. To get here, you have to follow the road up past Interlaken before you join Sustenstrasse. The pass has an eye-watering height of 7,5000 feet and has excellent tarmac and amazing hairpins. Fantastic stuff! From there, you will join the road taking onto the next pass, the Gotthard Pass and the incredible La Tremola, which is not suitable for the faint-hearted as it comprises 40 tight hairpins with a somewhat cobbled surface.

Touge

Touge

Touge Pass takes place on mountain sides in Japan. Here, windy roads do the races a favour by forming the tracks. The race is always done in the popular one-on-one manner. The main aim of Touge is not only to drift, but also to be the fastest on the road. Some drivers use drifting to block their chaser or as a driving strategy but traditionally Touge is focused on grip.

Hana Road on Maui

Hana Road on Maui

As far as many are concerned, not many drives are as beautiful and windy as the Road to Hana on Maui, Hawaii. It’s an amazingly curvy coastal road with stunning views of cliffs, waterfalls, beaches and rainforest. It’s a well paved mountain road but you should still keep your wits about when driving it thanks to the countless sharp curves and a couple of one-land bridges.

High Alpine Road

High Alpine Road

From the Danube to the Alpine, this is where any windy road enthusiasts would drive any day of the week. Cosy villages huddle along the many babbling brooks and lovely meadows. There’s nothing more breat than those curvy roads running along the Alpine. We also recommend visiting the amazing Salzwelten Statt which is the world’s oldest salt mine.

What To Wear Tonight

May 25, 2008

So you’re hitting the club tonight right mate? You’re still not sure what you can wear to make yourself stand out and attract the ‘right’ sort of attention. Well, we don’t claim to be fashion experts here but if you follow our advice properly, there’s every chance you can transform your overall looks before long!

Your Outfit

  • Your outfit should deffo have both basics and artistry i.e. pieces that don’t obviously attract attention and pieces that do. For instance, if your jacket and shoes are a bit flashy, then try and stick to subdued shirt and trousers. The artistry can be subtle or dramatic depending on your overall look.
  • The idea of ridiculous and out-of-place outfits is pretty much outdated. You should definitely dress to attract attention, but make sure what you are wearing does fit together and really show your identity.
  • Suits can be extremely attractive if you’re able to justify wearing them. Do not be afraid to wear a nice suit to a club with your mates. Just take off your tie and unbutton the shirt top button.
  • Be different. If you dress like everybody else, girls will simply assume you’re like everybody else. Learn to stand out from the crowd.
  • If you think you’re a bit overweight, black clothes help make you look thinner. If you are short, pinstripe clothes make you look taller. If you’ve got a nice body, be confident to show it off with your clothes, though not too much as too tight clothes actually make girls think you’re a poofter!

Shoes

  • Be taller. There are loads of brands of fashionable shoes which give you extra height. A few extra inches will certainly help. If you’re under six feet, a few extra inches will do you wonder.
  • Be creative. Girls really do notice shoes and that’s why it’s so important to keep them clean. It’s a rare bloke who wears things other than traditionally boring shoes. You can easily stand out through your selective choices here.

Trousers

  • Designer jeans are very fashionable these days.
  • Do not wear those generic boring cotton trousers.
  • The fit of your pair of jeans is extremely important. Each brand and style is cut in different ways. You should know what you’re doing, and don’t just guess.

Shirts

  • Keep informal shirts outside your trousers.
  • Wear collared shirts so you look smarter. Only wear a t-shirt if you’re a sweaty person.
  • Short-sleeve, button-down shirts are bloody boring.

Accessories

  • Get some ornaments. Earrings, rings, hats, wristbands etc. What is purely ornamental is very sexy. And don’t go over the top. One or two ornaments is more than enough.
  • Specs. They are sexy on some blokes but not on most. If you look better without them, try contact lenses.
  • Match your belt to your shoes i.e. make them the same colour.
  • Have an eye-catching belt buckle.

Grooming

  • Remove excess hair. If your eyebrows are close to touching, shave them so there’s some separation. Ear and nose hairs are sexy to nobody. If you’ve got sideburns, make them look neat. Hair should never be found on your back or bum either.
  • Most girls prefer shaved chests, although this varies. If you’ve got a beard or a moustache, make sure it’s kept trimmed and neat.
  • Whiten your teeth. It’s very cheap and easy. See your dentist, not those crappy white strips.
  • A good haircut makes a massive difference. Find someone with an attractive haircut and ask them where they get it done.

Wealth

May 25, 2008

Men are known to have been tempting women with wealth for thousands of years.

Don’t be sleazy. Displays of wealth ought to be subtle and appear as natural as possible. If you take your wallet out to buy a beer and it’s full of £20 notes, that’s subtle and natural.

Girls seek consistency with wealth. A man at a VIP table dressing badly and driving a cheap car is not seen as a man with wealt but he’s seen as a man with a spending issue.

There’s no need to worry if you’re not rich. Just don’t appear to be struggling. Never mention financial difficulties or borrowing money.

Also try and use your money wisely. If you’ve got £100 in your wallet, wrap a £50 note around ten £5s instead of having twenty £5 notes. Spending an extra £20 on a jacket won’t make a huge difference but spending an extra £20 on wine will.

If you haven’t got wealth, the best thing you can do is to show you have the serious potential for it. Have ambition and a plan.
