Thats it, I'm gonna propose....but where do I begin?

i think you should slow down, a year isnt that long. you should be really sure about how she feels because even if she loves you a lot it might freak her out, like a lot.

why are you in such a rush to get married? if you are commited to her the way you say you are then you still have so much time to get to know more about eachother and really be sure about getting married.

"this one"...

haha. That sentence made me laugh.

By the way, I'd wait a bit longer...

Her parents will find out after to tell her.

I wouldn't ask her parents, unless you don't really know them, which this would be a good time to talk to them about marriage and you being in their life, or you know they don't like you, which you have to convince them that you are worthy of their daughter. It if was me, I wouldn't ask her parents.

And read eakers advice over and over and over.

Wow, looking to get married and you have no source of income? On top of that, you are on financial aid for college... Are you going to leech off of your parents even more or something?

But its your life nevertheless and its your decision, and I wish the best to you.

Agreed... A year is not long at all for relationships... On top of that, you are not even out of school yet... why in such a rush to get married???

Finish your school first, then think about marriage after you get a good, stable job you are happy with...

"baby I love you but Im seein..." no wait thats not it...

"honey, I have somthing to tell you, I like guy..." no thats not the one eather...

"I know we've been together a long time but I think its time that we <long pause> go about seeing <longer pause> a big PHATASS! RING! will you marry me?" thats the ticket .

or just walk up to her and say "Congrats, your getting married" and hand her the box.

Congrats man.. but I never did get why people in college with no jobs and no financial security rush into marriage so fast.
Its like " hey I found the one and I won't let go so I gotta marry her before some other dude gets to her"
For me.. I want to date a woman for 3-4 years before even considering marriage.

My advice:

DO NOT GET MARRIED TILL AFTER COLLEGE!

As for the ring. $300, I think she'll say no..... That's like a grain of sand on tin foil band. just kidding. When you do get the ring though, do not go to the mall or internet!!! Go to a local "mom 'n' pop" type store that is priavtely owned. no chains, like in the mall! You'll probably be stuck with a tiny ring. Go here to get ideas for prices. You're looking at 1/10th of a carrot. Have you looked at rings with her? My fiance would have killed me if I didn't get her a marquise cut ring with a traditional gold band, like her moms!

Have you talked about marriage with her? Not in passing, but a serious conversation?

You're going way to fast. If I was her dad and you asked me I'd say: "You make my daughter happy and that's all that matters, but you should wait till after college." I think I would have to smack you for even considering it.

Also, at a concert? OK, that is NOT memorable. A candle lit dinner that you cooked is better. A walk on the beach, after a romatic dinner? Something you do together (I did it playing Scrable, spelling out the words "Will You Marry Me?" (They are there, just look).

I screwed up and skipped the father's blessing part, but we were like family before I proposed. My fiance says that her parents love me and not to worry. I wish I did though.

That's how I felt before I dated my fiance. She knew from the day we met. Love at first sight. I knew after about 3 months of dating she was the one. After about 13 or 14 months of dating ,we were engaged. I couldn't believe it myself. I never imagined myself getting engaged so quickly. It was funny after about a year of dating, my fiance would always say, hey lets go look at engagment rings (at the mall). One day I said sure and she had the biggest smile on her face! Kinda like a shocked/happy look. It's like those adds, priceless. Anyways, been together for about 18 months now! Actually 18 months, 10 days, 12 hours and about 55 minutes since our first date.

One year is OK, but not while in college.

I'm glad you've found "The One", congratulations! My advice, much the same as you've seen above, is to wait. My wife and I met in grad school, and weren't married until five years later! If she is truly "The One", she will still be with you when you graduate. But hey, some college marriages work out very nicely: consider the NFL's #1 draft pick this year, David Carr. He and his wife married while in college. The guy even wears his wedding ring (taped-up, for safety) during games.

Regarding the ring, I would say $300 is an order of magnitude too low. She has to wear this thing the rest of her life, remember.

Good luck!!!

Post a message on ATOT and ask her to marry you

Girlfriend, Will you be my MsMigAce312?



I dunno about proposing at the concert though, most of the ones I have been to you have to shout at the preson right beside you to get them to hear you...I'd probably wait until after the concert, take her out to eat somewhere nice. Give the ring to the witress to deliver with the drinks. When she drops it off, get on one knee and ask her to be MsMigAce312.


I still like asking on ATOT though
