lately I was pondering over the ways we propose in real life or in movies. As far as I am concerned, after a lot of thinking, I thought 'always for simple and plain and effective.' for instance imagine a girl proposes to her boyfriend and it goes like:
Girl: honey I love you. I wish to be mother of your kids.
Boy(if Dumb): dear I love you too. but hey, I don't have kids. I am not married as yet.
So why confuse say it plainly with emotions that I want to marry. why complicate the matter.
A line I heard in some movie in which boy said: I want to grow old with you.
there is one more I imagined myself. boy takes out a ring from his pocket and gets to his knees and says:
from now on and till my last breath, every night I want to sleep with you.
woman said: and what about when you would be doing night shift? can I call my other boyfriend over.
does anyone have better suggestion or a creative way of proposing please tell. I am looking forward positive replies.

I always believe in straight to the point. When my boyfriend asked me to marry him we were laying in bed watching TV, and he just looked at me and said "I love you, will you marry me?" plain and simple and it still meant a lot. Some women are looking for these big fancy proposals, but it's not he proposal that really matters, it's the idea that the other person wants to spend the rest of their life with you, they want to be with you. To me that's more romantic than coming up with some creative way to propose.
I know some women love the big thought out proposals, and that's sweet, but I don't think it's necessary.I mean if someone wants to put that much thought behind it, that's amazing, but I think it gives expectations that may not be able to be met later in the marriage. In the beginning it's all big and lovey dovey, it's all new, but as time goes on it forms into something else, that's not bad, but it's not all about the big gestures, it's the little gestures that mean the most in my opinion.

very insighting. generally some people want a little extra in life, specially in the matter of love. And proposing in love is special and everyone remembers it, regardless of the fact that how it comes in their life, till the story ends. you remember the way it happened in your life. but yes Plain and simple is best and effective.

@rocky1980 I get that, but I don't think it matters how someone proposes, you'll still remember it. I mean that's the moment they decided they want to be with you forever, it's kind of hard to forget. Some of those people that went above and beyond, and they aren't together anymore, and now these women remember it, and it doesn't mean as much. Different people like different things, I mean if my boyfriend went all out to make it into a big thing, as long as it had some special meaning to us I'd have liked it just as much, but I didn't expect anything like that, and the fact that he didn't doesn't matter to me. I personally wouldn't want anything with a lot of people around, I'd hate having all of that attention and pressure on me. Something more private and sweet would be nice, but again at the end of the day to me the most important thing is just spending the rest of my life with the person I love and who loves me in return.

Proposing over a surprise planning, or a surprise gathering, or in a not-overcrowded public place is enough for making this seem out of the blue. And I think twisting the words of proposal kind of takes out the magic from it. So plain and simple, "Will you marry me?" or "Will you be my soul mate forever?" is something that will make every girl's heart beat. If the girl loves you that much, she will always say yes, no matter how you spring the proposal on her. What is needed is to create a happy lovely environment, and you don't always need material things to do that. Your love for her can make up for it too, if you let yourself

yes very right, words do the trick, but of course words need a happy lovely romantic environment to support them. there is nothing wrong in stretching a little more to make it magical.

@rocky1980 magical seems nice though I would not overplay it. Just make sure she doesn't get a huge shock out of it, or she may say something completely uncharacteristic of herself.

friends of mine, now happily married had a lovely proposal experience. They visited Portmerion, location for the TV series, The Prisoner where the groom to be set his fiancé a long treasure hunt, which she followed clue by clue, with the last one leading to a box containing the engagement ring.

@rocky1980 lol man I don't know. I have wondered how someone would ask me but I don't want to over think it because I may not even be asked or it may not be as spectacular as I imagined.
But at the end of the day, if we love each other very much then anyway is fine.

I don't do fancy-schmancy. It will totally embarrass me and the special event will be over shadowed by how uncomfortable it made me. So, special, private, well-thought over, nice and simple gesture will work fine. Who needs artificial fireworks and all that jazz when you get the man of your dreams?
