AmericanRam Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have been dating my lady for over 2 years now, and feel it is time for an engagement; I have talked to her parents about it and some of my friends also and they feel it is the right time also and told me to go for it. Anyway, her birthday is coming up next month and I am seriously thinking about popping the question to her at her birthday party. For those who are married or engaged, how did you handle the anxiety and nervousness that I am feeling right now? Also, if not at her birthday party in front of her family, where else would be a good location. She really likes going to the mountains, so maybe rent a cabin for the weekend? Any other suggestions are appreciated. Future Mrs. AR I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other suggestions are appreciated. Future Mrs. AR I hope Not a good idea spoiling her birthday mate. Anyway, I would leave it a couple of years if I was you, as I understand Russian women age very quickly; have you done all your research on this, and tell me what does her mother look like? You mentioned the other day that your girlfriend was not keen on it from behind. I think you need to get that resolved before you go out and buy her a mighty fine ring. Certainly it should be a part of the negotiation. You say she likes mountains, but what do you like American Ram. You are giving yourself to her, so don't get pandering to her anymore. You ask her some place you feel comfortable in to reduce your nervousness. A strip joint might do it, or perhaps a casino and you can crack a small joke about the engagement being the biggest gamble of your life. I hope all this helps. Be happy you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Log cabin in the mountains? Tick. A party after for everyone?

RLACML Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Don't ask her in front of people. I don't think that is a very nice way of doing it. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Don't ask her in front of lots of people. As for a location, the City Ground at half time should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for the tips everyone. I am quite nervous about this, but am confident it will be a great night when I decide to do it. RLACML- I have been thinking about it mate, and it would be better to be more intimate with just me and her. i-Ram- Her mother is actually a very attractive woman so I am fine in that regard I think. As far as the mountains go mate, I am a huge fan as well and so therefore I have been thinking about it, and the mountains are the best spot. I have not been to a strip joint or a casino in about four years, and the last time I did I was thrown out...but that's another story . Lastly, thanks for your parting words about us being happy. ladyram- My girl is very much a romantic, as I am also. We respect each other and that is very important. She does cuss me in Russian a lot though, but I know it is out of love Others who have responded, thanks for the kind words. P.S. Coconut, I would never push her off...but if her brother was there perhaps I would him. Look up the word "loser" in the dictionary and he would be in it. Alas, he is my potential brother-n-law so I suppose I should be finding better ways of tolerating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, he is my potential brother-n-law so I suppose I should be finding better ways of tolerating him. It seems to me AmericanRam that you are pretty much in love. Given that fact, and that her mother can also be an option, I say go it for young man. Take her up the mountains, get down on one knee, and make her one happy women. Sincerely, I hope you both find true happiness together. P.s. You do need to sort out other relationships in your life. Perhaps you can get a buy one get one free assassin contract taken out to rid yourself of your cousin and her brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 A friend of a friend of mine went down on one knee in front of her and and their family and friends at her birthday party. He said 'will you do me the honour etc etc and produced the ring' everyone was watching and waiting and savouring the special moment. Didn't quite go according to plan and he was left looking a bit stupid. Funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I proposed at the mouth of the Devils Throat (cataratas del Diablo) on the Argentinian side of Iguassu Falls, during a full moon (mostly) private tour of the falls. I do have my moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
