One of the most romantic, unforgettable events in a woman’s life is the moment her beloved proposes to her. And that, of course, puts some pressure on the man to get it right. But don’t worry. Here are some ideas to keep things running smoothly.
Use the first date, the first kiss, or the first time you spoke as a basis or theme.
Think of places, foods, colors, flowers, activities, music, and movies she loves and incorporate a few special touches to show how well you know her.
Don’t propose when she’s stressed or overwhelmed. Also, make the day that you propose memorable and special – don’t combine it with another holiday like her birthday or Christmas. Most women prefer it that way.
Some of the best proposals aren’t elaborate: they involve an inside joke, a past experience or a private memory that is meaningful to the couple. Also, women differ in taste as to whether the proposal is highly public (for example, on the ballpark scoreboard or in a restaurant) or completely private between just the two of you.

Since some salespeople believe you'll only be interested in a gold setting, research shows that almost half of all male shoppers have to bring up platinum themselves. If platinum is your preferred metal, continue shopping until you find a retailer that helps you understand the differences in metals, offers a good selection, and understands and values each metal for its inherent characteristics.
