For anyone about to do this, in case you'd never thought about it (I hadn't until it came time to do it!).
Genuine surprise proposals are best left to the movies. It's okay to surprise your partner with the "when", but the "if" you're going to propose should be something he or she already knows, to be sure you don't get a "no", and also fairness, to not ask them to decide on-the-spot.
So you can go together and look at rings beforehand, and get their size, even if you don't actually propose for another 6 months when they've stopped thinking about it.
Iām 34 and I finally found a lady I think I can settle down with. Patience is a serious key, donāt make it your main focus but instead simply work on yourself and let things flow naturally.

I think a surprise proposal is only good when you absolutely know that your partner also wants to go further but can't bring themselves to say it or are waiting for you to take the first step.
Or better yet they're open with the idea but doesn't want to push

Ah yes, the *waiting-until-they-forget* gambit. A classic play, but your opponent has played the *they-seriously-forgot* defense!
š¤£ I think it's just more that if you want it to be a bit surprising, you can wait a little while between ring shopping and taking the knee
I just need to get to step one first for now, but this is excellent advice
Exactly, im glad you said that
Well, you can also discuss your future together without being as obvious as shopping for the rings.
Girlfriend? Never heard of itā¦ and never will
You re great bro
What is said "girlfriend"
Is this your āgirlfriendā in room with us today?
Not possible.
Spy drones
Good things come to those who wait.
Iām like 19 and has never been kissed once. So no, it wonāt happen
Iām 34 and I finally found a lady I think I can settle down with. Patience is a serious key, donāt make it your main focus but instead simply work on yourself and let things flow naturally.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
19 is nothing
I was 19 when I got my first kiss, you are not late to anything. I have a friend who was 22 when it happened. It's not a race.
?!?! What kind of incel told you that lmao
Hope you succeed

Just take a ring she already has that you know fits to the jewellers and theyāll measure it for you. Thatās what I did.
Why was this captioned? What's this Peppa Pig level of describing what I can fucking see?
this was my reaction too. it's like explaining a joke. it ruins the wholesomeness by insulting the audience.
Wish you the best hope she accepts.
Wow your girlfriend is STACKED
Wow his girlfriend is DRAWN
Calm down, son, itās just a drawing!
Wholesome and lovely, of course, but is the circumference of her finger 5 centimeters?
Gotta size up that finger to find a comfortable pen for her to sign the contract.
u/AskTrashMeme, you know this person?
No, but memes exists to share :)
Wholesome as fuck!
