Cupid’s Advice:

Lots of couples will eventually discuss marriage and possible next steps in their relationship. Though, when it does come time to pop the question, convention says you don’t want them to see it coming:

1. Rehearse your speech: Don’t go into the moment expecting the words to instantly pour from your heart. Give your feelings some thought and come up with a rough ideas of what you want to say. Address the key question, why should they marry you?

2. Use a distraction: Whether it’s dinner, a movie, or rock climbing in the Grand Canyon, make sure you have an excuse to bring your partner to where you need them and explanations for any activity. You have to avoid suspicion at all costs.

3. Get a friend to help: Brainstorming your proposal ideas are a good way to root out the best ones. Get a friend on board who can give you some feedback. It’s also important to have someone if your scheme requires any set-up or detailed maneuvering.
