Don't tell her you're a Democrat.

 

Freak, actually, it helps to be a Democrat. The women feel sorry for you.

Excellent!

Congrats DC!!!

But shouldn't you have figured this out by now?

Do what you feel!

I proposed in a rain storm! Didn't plan it, but it was beautiful!

dc rock : I don't think anyone can give you good suggestions, but I say be yourself and do what you think is cool and don't worry about anything else.

Sometimes you gotta do the next best thing!

 

I figure you should definetely jump out of her closet one day wearing nothing but a jock strap with the words "Marry Me" written on it.

Just hope that she doesn't say no...

Thats great to hear DC!!!

I proposed to my fiance at the beach. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do it, and then a seashell washed up onto my foot. I grabbed it and scribbled "Will you marry me" in the sand. She looked at it, and then it was washed over. When I looked back up at her, she said yes. It was great.

Good Luck.

One tiny bit of advice : Eat light. I have a cousin who was so nervous while trying to propose that he got sick all over his now-wife's shoes. She said yes and now its just a funny story I've heard a hundred times. But still, light foods.

The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

 

Moon her, with "Marry" written on one cheek and "Me" written on the other.

see if you can do it during halftime of a Rockets game on the court. maybe contact their PR dept? They can have Clutch the Bear carry the ring out!

Go to Great Falls Park in Virginia. I intended to propose on the rocks overlooking the falls. But the water was so low that instead I took her up the path along the river to the exposed rocks that led out into the water just below the little (8-foot or so) dam. I led her from rock to rock till we couldn't go any farther. We were about 1/3 of the way across the river at that point. I stopped on the last rock, turned around, knelt, and asked her to marry me.

(Legal disclaimer: If you do this, try not to fall into the water right below the dam, as the undertow will drown you.)

As for the puking problem, I avoided that by proposing on Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of fasting.

Most women (and men too for that matter) don't vote.

I think you should combine WickBrunson's and Outlaw's suggestions. That'd be great! BTW, my wife is a wedding cake designer, if you find yourself in need of one.

I proposed on heyschweetie's birthday last year. At first I was unsure about doing it on a day that I should celebrate anyway. You might want to consider that some women want Valentine's Day or their Birthday to be celebrated in and of itself.

What I decided to do was fully celebrate the day as I would any birthday (in your case, any Valentine's Day). Only after fully celebrating the normal holiday, did I surprise her with a room at the Landcaster downtown w/champaigne and then pulled out the ring.

My suggestion, don't mix proposing with an annual celebration...but that doesn't mean you can't do both on the same day.

One rule: don't forget to give her a Valentine's Day present. The ring is not a present! It is a symbol of your commitment.

I'd go someplace special -- a pretty, quiet place, that you don't visit often, to make it memorable. (So YOU can remember it when quizzed later ) Someplace like the William's plaza fountain, or the Hermann Park Tea Garden. (The great thing about this is that it gives you an ace in the hole WHEN (not if) you get in trouble. Take her back to your special place, give her a rose, kiss and make up.)

If she likes sports, there is a 'cool' option. I don't know if you like hockey, but there is an Aeros Game that night, and they are trying to do some special things for Valentines day.

They have done set ups for people to propose during the game before -- they 'randomly' pick a girl out of the audience, and tell her she will win a prize if she is able to answer the question on the matrix boards. The announcer goes, "Here's your question..." and the boards light up with "Will you marry me?" By that time the guy is in the isle on one knee and proposes. I thought it was neat -- the girl had no clue.

(You could do the same thing at a Rockets game on another night -- but they obviously aren't at home on Feb. 14.)

FYI -- They are running a Valentine's bring a date promotion. There's a buy one get one free cupon in the Chronicle on Feb 13 & 14. (Don't tell her! -- Spend those extra bucks on dinner.)

Take her to La Colombe D'Or or the Rainbow Lodge. These two are suppose to be the most romantic restaurants in Houston. Pre-arrange for the waiter to bring out the ring on a platter. Tell the waiter to say something corny like "Ms DC Rock (?) would u like to try this today". Then get down on your knees and propose. It would take some guts (proposing in front of alot of people) and some serious dough (both the restaurants are really ex*****ve).
