Okay... I'm gonna need women's input because I have no clue.
About a year ago I met this amazing woman. I joined LoveForum shortly afterwards to ask you all if her actions hinted her interest in me. Most of you said yes, but I was convinced she only liked me as a friend. One night I kissed her, and we were inseparable since then. We have had our ups and downs, but we are happy.
I just purchased a 2 carat (G, VS1, Excellent cut) diamond engagement ring. I am gonna propose to her next month. I feel like she is expecting it any day now, because we have dated for a year, and we have expressed our desire to grow old together.
Question: Ideally, when and where do women prefer to be proposed to? I was engaged to a college girlfriend once, and married to my kids' mother once, but I have never proposed to a woman ever. I was considering proposing on Christmas morning, but December 4th would be nice because that's when I kissed her for the 1st time. I also want to bring her to the Starbucks where we met. So many possibilities. Any suggestions?
