Most romantic way to propose?

Hey people. I was just wondering what you all thought was the most romantic/original way to propose? The traditional down on one knee with a ring at a romantic resteraunt? at home? during sex (weird but hey its an option)? while playing scrabble? fixing a ouiji board to spell out Will you marry me? or some other way? I'm just curious what people think makes a good proposal... I personally think as long as its heartfelt and for the right reasons it wouldnt matter if I proposed/ was proposed to using a hoola hoop... or some haribo! yum.

after sex put your arms around her and say "i love you"

another way is to throw a pancake at her face

oh, and why the anon post?
well here is one of my favourites. I bend down on my knees and with a rose I say:

"" U are mine and only mine, I was made only to be urs and u were also made to be mine. If u dont believe me...ask urself and you will know that I am saying the truth"" pretty mushy I know...but it works if u say it in a romantic way :biggrin:

Have you seen fall out boy's video where he spells 'homecoming?' in flames on this girls lawn?!
That would be awesome - obviously 'will you marry me?' would be more appropriate if you were proposing.... and probably best to check with the 'lawn owner' before! :smile:

Bake a cake and hide a ring in it. Added fun if she swallows it and you have to search through her excrement to retrieve it.

Ha ha! that happened in home and away...except he put the ring in ice cream, and she tipped it down the sink (so not too similar...but hey: ring in food = disaster....id stick to setting fire to the lawn!) :p:

Put the ring on your weiner, then say "I got something in my pants for you"... just don't get a stiffy before she takes it off...

N.B... Only works if she has really fat fingers or you have a...
Sleep it on their finger when they're sleeping.. then when they wake up 'woah what the hell is this...?!' And stand there grinning.
See how long it takes for them to figure it out.
Don't try the ouiji board thing, I think that would be more terrifying than romantic.

yeah, but that would involve some kind of surgery and i'm sure on the operating table isn't the most romantic of ways to propose whilst she's got various instruments pulling her stomach apart- but it's certainly original. however, my cousin's husband proposed to her in hospital in bed after he had an asthma attack.

I think that for me a romantic proposal who be in a private place with very little fuss.

I think that colonic irrigation would do the trick. You can't get more romantic than colonic irrigation.

The most romantic way is something personal to you! My fiancee proposed at 2am at the pub he works in and that we met and had put candles on the bar and proposed. He didnt get on one knee as
a) I was tipsy and I think he feared being vomited on and
b) I think its a bit mortifying when people get on one knee to propose.

I would avoid the cliches and make it personal to you and your partner.
i know someone who put little vouchers around his house and in his fiances books and things, they said on them 'keep with you at all times'
so she carried them with her where ever she went but forgot about them for a while. then they went to india (hes indian) and were walking down a beach when he asked her if she wanted a glass of water and pointed to a cafe type thing and told her to go and get one and he would wait there. she wetn in and there was a cardboard sign saying vouchers redemed here, or something similar. so she handed over these vouchers to a woman (who had no idea what was happening) and she recieved a little box. inside it was the ring, she burst into tears and sat down for a while.
once calm, she went outside and as her foot toched the sand she said yes.
i think that is so romantic it just shows how much thought went into it, he also asked her dad for permission... she kinda knew about that but forgot about it so it still came as a shock.
(sorry my english wasnt too good in that)

lol.
That would just get me angry:
‘what?! You assumed I would say yes…don’t I even have a voice in this relationship?’
Just kidding:p: ...its a lovely way.

i've read this somewhere and i think this is the worst!

My brother had a co-worker who apparently thought that he was dating Jennifer Garner, because he came up with a hell of a proposal. One day she came home from work and he sat her down and said that he had to make a confession. he didn't actually work for the bank, he was a spy for CSIS (the Canadian CIA). Of course, she laughed, until he took her up to the bedroom, removed a ceiling tile and pulled down a box containing a few passports, a big wad of cash and a gun, at which point she starts to freak out a bit. Then he tells her that his partner's been captured, and he needs her to come on a mission with him that weekend. They walk a few blocks down the street where a rental car is parked with the keys in the ignition, and an envelope in the glove compartment with the details of the mission. He drives her three hours up north to an inn, where a dress is waiting for her on the bed. She is, of course, in hysterics, crying about how she doesn't want to do this, and how long has he been staying in hotel rooms with other women etc. etc., and he tells her it's a matter of national security and to suck it up and get dressed for dinner, where he finally proposes.

That's even more romantic than my:

"Will you marry me?"
"Yes."
"Well, force yourself to puke, that ring you just ate cost a fortune."
