Proposal advice

I ended up in a tricky predicament once because my best friend told me he was planning on proposing to his partner, and then just a few days later his partner messaged me to ask for my help to find out my friend’s ring size because he was also planning on proposing! I kept quiet about both and let fate take over as they were both planning to propose on the same trip abroad. It ended up being a perfect proposal - one friend did it, and then the other responded by producing the other ring!

I would say that maybe you should speak to your mum, as perhaps she could help you to coordinate something like this? As then you’re not taking away your partner’s opportunity to propose, but you also get to surprise him.

Hey, I read the little snippet of your post, and thought I'd read it and awwwwwwwwww that is so so super sweet of you, bless you both that's so lovely that you want to do that!!! Before I reply hopefully this will make anyone reading this chuckle as my fiance and I are finally getting married after 8 years together this year. A few years ago he asked me 'if I proposed to you, what would you say?" LOL (he knew I'd say yes!) my answer was, well, you'll have to ask me to find out won't you and I've jokingly told him that was a bit of a copout LOL. But he picked an amazing moment and did propose and here we are! :-)

So, 1. Personally I am a huge romantic and traditional (we are man / woman couple) so I absolutely wanted to be proposed to not the other way round. I guess it depends on the dynamics of your relationship but the romantic side of me says he will be over the moon that you chose to propose to him, and really flattered / encouraged / excited and as you mention, pleasantly surprised. I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't be anything other than delighted! :-)

2. Well you can give each other a ring then can't you?! I don't see that as a problem at all! saves you going out to look for one for him after he says yes xx :-)

3. Don't think there's any way you can unless you want to not surprise him!!

4. hmm thats a toughie... if you really really want to go for it and surprise him, I'd say tell her of your intention first, (would you want to go speak to his mum first if that's an option?) although if you want your mum to be happily surprised by him asking her about proposing to you, more, then maybe leave it - :-)

I think leaving things to fate is also a good option, trust the universe - it's got your back x best wishes with it x and post again with what occurs :-)
