Guys, when proposing be confident and choose your time with care; be natural with what you say and practice a warm delivery. You have to be sincere.

Tips when proposing:

(1) Make the occasion a truly memorable one; plan your moment well and choose a setting that is special to you both: the beach provides a romantic atmosphere, a favorite restaurant will heighten the occasion, enjoying a mutually favorite activity can set the scene well.

(2) Look smart and be well-groomed. Wearing a dry-cleaned, well-tailored suit is a good way to impress; and polish those shoes!

(3) Look lovingly into your partner's eyes when proposing; eye contact is an indication of one's sincerity.

(4) Being light-hearted and romantic in your delivery often works.

(5) Have a 'plan b' in case you get a negative response; try hard not to take rejection to heart and never hurry away in embarrassment if you get a 'no'.

Getting married is an important life occasion. Make sure that the one you are proposing to is truly the one that you want to wed; take your time preparing and although certain engagement traditions, like asking for a father's permission, are no longer in vogue always take care to respect others' values and sensibilities. Be respectful and you should be hearing wedding bells before too long.
