I'm thinking of creative ways to propose to my girlfriend, any ideas? My girlfriend loves soccer, but I wouldnt want to propose in a place like a soccer match.

Do you really want to tell her that other people came up with the idea for the proposal?

skywriting. and if you go that route you can tell her it was your idea (you asked for help, so it really was your idea) plus if looks like she is going to say no, you can always look around and say "wow, can you believe there is another (her name) here getting proposed to drinker

Well, no one ever knows that for sure.

Do not to the put it in food or a beverage thing, I have known people who either got their ring in their mouth or didn't see it and the guy had point out she left it in her leftovers.

ONE REALLY cool thing a guy friend of mine did with a girl he was for sure going to get a YES from, He without telling her took her to the mall and then stood in front of the jeweler's and said, "Would you like to pick out your own engagement ring?" Mind you I hang with guys so my expectations are not the same as Kim Kardashian, but of course after she picked her jaw off the floor, she was thrilled.

But we haven't even been on a date yet..........oops, oh you want to propose she likes soccer...

Take her to the Soccer hall of fame in Oneonta, New York. Call ahead and set up something with the Hall of Fame to celebrate.....they may have a banquet room or something your closest family members and friends can be there.

I honestly am learning I am atypical at times. But when a guy of mind asks for help to do something thoughtful, I think "WOW!! He was REALLY trying to come up with a good idea!! That's so sweet!!" and I even think it if it's lingerie.

I think SOME things we do,,,we should be as positive of IT being agreed upon,,,before its advertised,,as living knowing she said yes, but did THAT more or less with THE MANY OTHERS MINDS IN HER'S WHO SHE WAS HAVING THIS ASKED IN VIEW OF,,,,,Then,,later,,changing her mind,,as THAT moment knocked her off the track she really was on?
Just my thoughts,,
I've proposed twice,,to have them both say yes,,THEN,,to find out, they really didn't have ALL of their hearts into just mine,,
But,,hey,,THATS just life man,,and we learn it as we take each new step forward..Good Luck with you and her being The ALL in each others eyes, and minds,,drinker :heart:

I heard of one where a guy sent his girlfriend on a scavenger hunt...at each stop, she was faced with a friend or family member holding a rose for her, and a note leading her to the next one. When it was all said and done, she ended up at the very first place they went on a date and all that had given her a rose were there, and her boyfriend was down on one knee...it was at a park :-)

Slide a pre-nup under the bathroom door when she's on the toilet. Along with a pen. She'll get the idea. She won't be able to WAIT to tell her family how cool you are!

I guess it depends on her personality, you know her best, is she romantic, shy, outgoing.
I am shy and would die if it was something public I would crawl under a rock in embarrassment..
So use your imagination and knowledge of her and it will be perfect.
