If you have finally decided to propose here are some ideas to help you make that special moment an occasion to cherish for life. But only get inspired by these ideas and use your own judgement about the way you would like to say ‘I love you’. Do anything that delights your beloved and improve your chances of hearing, “I love you too’ for an answer. Remember, if everything goes well then this moment is going to be recounted a number of times to friends, relatives, children and even grandchildren.

• Decide how you will deliver the message. If your partner loves text messages or emails, consider a cyber-expression. Else plan a fun-filled evening together.
• Choose the time of meeting with care. Select a time when your partner is relaxed and happy. Avoid choosing a time when the person is stressed or upset.
• Select a romantic place for the meeting. A place that is liked by both of you would be a better option.
• Set a romantic tone for the meeting. Give subtle hints to your partner about what is about to come and create a feeling of excitement in him or her.
• Don’t make the setting too overwhelming for the person. Keep it simple and focus on moment.
• Be calm. Try to hide your nervousness.
• Propose in your own charming style. Don’t hold yourself and do anything you feel like doing to express your feelings for your partner.
• You may write a romantic poem for him or her. If you are feeling too nervous you may record your voice in cassette. You can send it or play it before the person and watch the reaction.
• It is seen that whispering those three golden words has a magical effect. You may try the trick.
• Back the ‘I Love You’ message with solid and genuine reason why you love your partner. This will have a greater impact.
• Be ready for a celebration with flowers or champagne when you hear a ‘YES’ for an answer.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

- Kahlil Gibran
