teck21 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Hi everyone, I have been visiting these boards for more than a year now, but have not posted often. As it happens, I plan to propose to her on Thursday (since we are going overseas, me on business and she's just tagging along). However, I can't think of a sutably romantic way to propose. She says I stopped being romantic less than a year into our relationship and I guess she's right! I have forgotten how to be romantic. I can only think of taking her to a nice restuarant for dinner, although where we're going (Perth, Australia), I haven't managed to find a suitably romantic one that's not too far a drive from the city. And then proposing to her after the dinner when we're taking a walk or something. But she thinks thats just plain boring (from previous convos) so I suppose I'd try to avoid doing this if possible. There may be a couple of nice vineyard restaurants not too far outside the city, but they only open for lunch on weekdays and somehow I find it's just a lot more romantic to propose with light failing or gone. Or maybe that's just me. If anyone has any ideas to share, I'd appreciate them all. Nothing too dramatic (or expensive!) though, cos that's just not my style. Thanks! teck
Outcast Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Have you tried the travel forums at Tripso and Traveladvisor? I have used them and gotten really great advice from locals on restaurants and other information.
impuls3 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 dude... i cant say ive ever proposed (while being sober), but take her out for a night on the town... do a ton of stuff she likes to do...focus the whole night on her...let her do wat women do best (talk about themselves)...make sure shes having a great time, then...when she least expects it...BLAMO! pop the question....simple as that (dont forget ur ring)....GOOD LUCK!
bunnzy Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 When my guy proposed he made tha whole day evolve around me. He told me to take the day off work and kept everything a surprise. A limo picked me up from home with a yellow rose and some chocolates, i got a manicure and a pedicure, had lunch, then went and got my hair cut and coloured, then had a facial and makeup done, then we went to my favourite thai restaurant. THEN he finally proposed. You should spoil her rotten. It will surprise her because youve never done it before. It will be expensive - but i promise her reaction will be well worth the money. Just make an appointment at a spa or beauty salon, get her a full body massage from a professional masseuse. and a fake tan treatment - google 'perth beauty salon' in google.au you can try blushbody.com.au or ellaexpress.com.au As for restaurants, ive never been to perth, but they are supposed to have some very good restaurant/cafes in the city, here is a link to a perth restaurant guide, snap it up before the mods do! http://www.streetsofperth.com.au/guides/restaurant.htm Good luck!!!
