Sure, asking a question is easy. All you have to do is ask. And let’s be honest– for many girls, just asking is completely amazing and sufficient enough. But want to know if your guy is really trying hard to pull off the perfect proposal? These are the signs to look for.

1) He does something he doesn’t ordinarily do
It’s one thing for your guy to serenade you if he’s a singer. But if your prince charming has a voice that’s more Joe Shmo and yet he decides to sing you an entire production of basically   “Your Proposal: the Musical,” you know he must love you a lot. Check out this guy’s embarrassing proposal. Very sweet, yes. Great singing, nope.

2) He thinks outside the box
If your guy does something different, then you know he put some thought into it. Even if it’s an overdone flashmob proposal or maybe a proposal via the Internet, at least you know he’s trying.

3) He messes up his words or starts to sweat
If your guys starts getting nervous during his proposal– even if it’s during just a romantic walk or quaint picnic– then you know he’s putting forth an effort. Because let’s face it, sometimes even asking a woman those words is harder than organizing a dance routine.

What do you think? How much effort should a guy put into his proposal?
