How to Propose to a Book Lover

 

If you are dating a bibliophile, you understand that sometimes the romance in the books she’s reading can outweigh reality. It’s nothing personal, it’s just that she loves to live in the moments of the characters. This should work in your favor, because when you two are together she feels like she’s in her own book with you. So how do you propose to one of these fine book lovers in a way that will tie-in her other favorite loves? Here are some ideas!

1. Book Signing. Take her to a signing of a new author or one of her favorites. Contact the author beforehand about being there if you can, but if all else fails find a moment while there to ask if he/she will sign the book for your significant other in a special way — have the author sign it, “To [name], will you please marry [name]?” Talk about a memory! Just make sure you’re waiting on one knee with the ring when she peeks up from the book to see you.

2. First Edition. There are so many ways to find the first edition of books these days. Do your best to find the first edition of one of her favorite books to go with your proposal. I would not suggest writing in it, but sticking a note in it perhaps on a love scene page or page with an amazing quote. If she’s a real lover of books, as much as she loves you– she doesn’t want you spoiling the first edition with your own writing.

3. Location, location. If going to the bookstore or library is something you tend to accompany her on, why not propose when she’s surrounded by a bunch of books? If we had seen the Beast’s proposal to Belle, you can bet it would have been in the library. Whether you hang a sign or just propose in the stacks, there’s no way to go wrong with this plan.

4. Reenact it. If you missed the post about the Pride & Prejudice proposal, go take a look and take notes. There’s nothing like coming home and walking into the scene of your favorite book, especially if it involves an actual proposal. Go to great lengths to make this girl’s dream come true– be her Mr. Darcy!
