Agent Orange   11 #1 Posted November 20, 2003 My friend has recently put me on the spot (no - he hasn't asked me to marry him) and asked me where would be best to propose to his long term girlfriend. As his best mate I feel under a bit of pressure to give him some great suggestions, but having not one romantic bone in my body I thought I'd look to you guys for help. I know he's looking to do it abroad and even suggested New York, any ideas would be appreciated especially if they are related to New York.  Thanks.

steelblade   10 #7 Posted November 20, 2003 Speaking as a woman who often dreams of a proposal! Sad I know  I would say that your friend really doesn't need to go anywhere as far as New York or bother with helicopter rides etc...  You can create romance anywhere.  Somewhere that I think is really pretty is the dam at Bradfield. Go there when the sun is setting, sit down and look at the water, the astonshing beauty that surrounds the area, and you could not wish for a more perfect place for a proposal.  It's the proposal that means everything, not the setting.

Belle   10 #12 Posted November 20, 2003 Originally posted by fnkysknky Well there are places better than NY but it's still better than Bradfield  It depends on whether the woman is looking forward to the proposal and if she is likely to say yes....I suppose.  If she says YES and they are both overjoyed, even a wet and windy tram stop would be suddenly romanticly tinged  But if she says YOU MUST BE JOKING and they are dining on a yacht in NY harbour, under the shadows of the statue of liberty, it is going to be dreadful, irrespective  I think I am with Steelblade on this, if the woman is keen and willing, she will be so chuffed to be asked that she wont care where it is  I was only in the sitting room but I remember it well, and fondly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
