Romantic Way to Propose 1 -
Have a candlelit dinner in a nice restaurant, with a spectacular view. An intimate table is vital here. Arrange to have red rose petals sprinkled on the table before you arrive. Do not do any of the weird stuff, like having the ring baked inside of her desert, or any similar shenanigans. You could have the server bring you the ring on a silver serving platter, though. That can be a nice touch.

At sea, watching the sunset. Charter a boat for an intimate cruise, and have the staff serve you an intimate dinner on the at sunset , either up top, aft of the flying bridge, or on the stern dining area. The smell of the ocean, and the sunset combine for a tremendously romantic experience.
What can go wrong with this proposal: Well, anytime you’re at sea, the weather can tun ugly, no matter the quality of the weather report you received before you left the harbor. Another possible trouble spot is seasickness. Even if the weather is great, there can be enough roll to the sea that you or your gal may develop a spot of queasiness in the ole’ bowels. That would quash the romance in a hurry. As with anything mechanical, the yacht could break down, although that is rare.
In the past, chartering a yacht for the evening was quite expensive, and it’s still not a cheap date. As with many other things however, the soft economy has served to dramatically lower the price of evening yacht excursions.

A walk on a secluded beach at sunset is almost always a sure winner with the romantic in her. To make it even more romantic, set up a bit beforehand. Put a message in a bottle at a certain spot. Don’t use any old pop or beer bottle, either. Find a nice, ornamental bottle. Put your proposal inside the bottle, and cork it. Important: Do Not put the ring in the bottle. The last thing you need is for some beach wanderer to walk off with your $5,000 or $10,000 engagement ring. Keep the ring safely in your pocket. Depending on the effect you’re looking for, you can scatter some rose petals around too. If you’re trying to make it look like you just happened upon the bottle, forget the roses.
As you’re walking down the beach you can get the the perfect spot and “find” the bottle. If you’re not using the bottle idea, you can hide a mat, some champagne, and some nice glasses in the sand. Whatever you decide, make sure you check the weather report first. Unless you’re in southern Cal, it does rain and get cold at the beach, you know.
You want to have the romantic elements. Sincerity is important. In addition, make sure you include personal elements, such as why she means so much to you, the first time you met, the first time you kissed, etc.
Ask the right question. No matter what else you say during your proposal, make sure you say those magical words “Will you marry me?” Two thirds of women polled in a recent survey on marriage and proposals indicated those words were very important in a good, romantic proposal. Something else that’s important is to make sure and surprise her with your proposal, so keep a lid on it, please. You’ll have the romantic proposal she’s been dreaming of since she was a little girl.
Remember, like a first impression, you typically only get one chance o propose to your girlfriend, so make it perfect!
