First, think back. Where did you spend your first date? You may want to take her there again so that you can reminisce about your past. You may also want to take your loved one to her favourite place. That way, you have already made her happy. Determining the place where you could both spend the moment is an important factor for a successful proposal. Next, relax. Make all your business arrangements beforehand. You may also ask friends to help you out.

Consider your partner’s choice. Take her to where she wants to go. People have different tastes—some love resorts, while others feel more comfortable at home or in restaurants. Also, don’t be extravagant if you can’t afford it. Consider what your pocket can provide. Of all the many things you will be spending you money on, the engagement is just the start of it.

Follow up and confirm. Call the agency to confirm before the trip. Be sure that you book in advance, or it will be too late. Confirm your reservations and settle everything out a few days before the special day.

When all is settled, tell her about it. Remember that the most important thing in proposing is your real feeling—your love for her. Also, she will really appreciate it when she sees the effort you made in proposing, and it will become a treasured moment.

With a real good plan, and a big heart of yours, she will probably give up being single and say the magical word of  “YES”.
