3 Ideas on Buttering Her Up for the Proposal

 

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” isn’t always true. With that being said, every girl loves gifts. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pair of new running shoes or a new sewing machine or camera equipment, every girl has something that she desires that maybe hasn’t gotten around to buying or is saving to get. So, how do you lead up to your proposal? Shower her with gifts, of course!

Ok, ok… I know what you’re thinking. I already bought her an engagement ring, for crying out loud!

You’re right. But if your girl’s love language is things to unwrap, there’s no harm in surprising her with a few more gifts before surprising her with the ultimate one– a diamond ring.

Here are three ideas.

1. Weekly Work Surprises. Whether she works in the office or at a local Starbucks, find a way to surprise your girl at work. Send her flowers one day, bring a balloon the next, or maybe surprise her with a lunch date! Whatever you want to spoil her with, doing it at the work place cannot hurt. After all, it may not be her favorite place to be at the moment, but a necessity. You make her work day extra special by surprising her with something! At the end of the week, surprise her by showing up in a suit with a ring. If you don’t want to propose at her work place, don’t sweat it. You can obviously propose somewhere else!

2. Send her mail. I don’t mean just order her flowers. Even if you’re not a long distance couple, sending her a package is a sweet thought that is bound to win you super kudos. If you’re planning on proposing down the road, you can make this a monthly ordeal. Each month, send her a package for the season, maybe something she has coming up, or just some baked goods! Make sure to always include a thoughtful note, handwritten if you can! Have the last package have just a note, or something simple, and perhaps hand deliver it yourself. When she opens it, kneel down on one knee and propose! PS– Only put the ring in there if you are hand delivering!

3. Be a “Hitch”. If you haven’t seen Will Smith as “Hitch” then you really need to. It is not an embellishment when he’s called “The Love Doctor.” Surprise your love with a messenger at work (who could just be a friend). Have the messenger call you and you ask your girlfriend what day she is free after giving her a few choices. Have your messenger then present her with a specific box with all she needs for the date, whether it’s a spa package and heels, or a baseball hat and cracker jacks. Then you can have her basically pick how her proposal is going to happen!

What do you think? Will these ideas make her swoon and yell, “Yes!” when you propose?
