So I bought an engagement ring today...

... sitting here waiting for her to get off work so I can probably puss out, but the wait is killer nontheless. Actually, I can't wait to ask her. I don't know how I'm going to do it yet... any ideas?

Man, this needs to be done in a fancy restaurant or some such. Not at home alone! Be creative! Its something she'll remember forever, make it special!

Grats, btw, nub!

Just don't hide the ring in some cake or something, that's IMO kinda lame :)

What you could do to at least make it a little more classy is to try and engage the staff of the restaurant to bring in some super dessert and a bottle of their best champagne and then ask her.

And congratz! Hurrah for love!

(damn, I don't know how youy guys spell hurrah!? Hurray/hurrey/hurra?)

lol, thanks Bane. I was thinking about something like that, but I kinda want to get down on one knee and not be a wreck thinking they are going to lose it.

I think, personally, you're better off doing something.. romantic, yet intimate. Instead of the fancy resturant, bottles of champange build up.. save that for more of the celebration.

If it was me.. i'd plan out your perfect.. typical normal evening together. Maybe just going to dinner at your favorite place, then tell her you wanna take her somewhere. Go out a few days before.. and find a nice spot. Keep in mind the timing you'll be taking her there.. lighting, etc.

So for example. Say you wanted to do it this sunday. You tell her you have an 'afternoon date' planned. You go out about 3.. get something to eat. Around 4, you take her to preselected spot. If you're smart, you can find out the time the sunsets that morning.. and time it just right (although make sure you get to the spot, with 20 minutes to spare.. nothing screews your plans more than having to rush), tell her whatever you want. And there you have it.

Then go back to your place for the h00k up. Take her out the next night for champange and shzznit.

Anyway. That's just my outlook.
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.

I'd do it in a really simple way:

- take her somewhere to have fun (movies, etc., I dunno what she likes);
- afterwards take her for a "special" dinner - doesn't have to be too expensive or luxurious (heck, it doesn't even have to be a restaurant), just make sure she feels it's something extraordinary;
- do it :)

Easy.

Blindfold her. Bring her to a gazeebo with candles, music, flower pedals, etc. Have champagne ready to go. Biggest night of your life, go all out.

Getting her a WoW account and buying a +5 defense ring on the AH doesn't count sport...

Congrats! :lol:

So she said yes!!! I took her to a nice resteraunt that we like to go to, nicest around here. I reserved the table right next to the fireplace... got down on one knee and asked her. Happiest day of both of our lives. Thanks for the support guys and gals!
