Hearing a “yes” for marriage from someone is truly special. But making them say yes to marriage is a real challenge. Here are some ideas on how to propose for marriage and make the moment magical.
I remember the days in my college when I proposed to a guy over message and got rejected. Frankly speaking, rejection was very painful.
Later on, I realized that this is not the right way to propose. There are some strategies I have to use to get yes.
Let me share my lessons with you. If you wish to avoid rejection, please stick until the end.
1. Don’t be hurry
Don’t rush behind any person. Let them chase you. Firstly, to know the person make a friendship with them.
Because as you know, love is friendship.
Some people directly propose a person in just few meetings. But here other person is sometimes not ready for marriage or serious relationship.
At the end for sure, the person might slap you and throw your proposal ring on your face.
Therefore, first know the person, their family and past relationship. Focus on creating a strong bond. Invite them in your family functions.
Make them comfortable with your family.
2. Ask them questions to know the perspective on marriage
Not everyone has the same views on marriage. Some people prioritize career, personal growth, or family expectations before taking such a big step.
Have an open discussion about their thoughts on marriage.
If they are not sure, do not push them, allow them time and space to think.
3. Build a strong emotional bond
A person is more likely to say “yes” when they feel a deep emotional connection rather than just attraction.
Make them feel emotionally secure with you. You can go on a trip, work together also attend conference.
4. Give them hints
Share what kind of life partner you want in your life. Talk about long-term plans, and dream vacations. If they respond positively with the concept of marriage, then it’s a good sign they’re open.
However, they avoid talking about it because of worst past then take it slow. First build trust.
5. Choose the right time and place
Timing is everything. A proposal should feel natural and special. Avoid rushing into it during stressful times. Pick a moment when both of you are happy and relaxed.
Choose a private place where both of you can talk comfortably.
6. Start conversation with humor
Never start a conversation with seriousness. Make it little lighthearted. It not only breaks the ice but also sets a positive tone for the conversation.
One more thing never ever share your feelings over call or texts.
Meet the person in person. A face-to-face conversation allows you to express emotions better and read their body language.
7. Make the proposal personalized
Go to the location where you met for the first time, to remind the memories. Offer them their favorite chocolates and flowers so they feel special.
Slowly, approach person with sitting down on one leg with a ring for wedding.
Lastly no matter how much you plan; there’s always a chance of rejection. So, prepare yourself emotionally. If they refuse, be humble and take their decision graciously.
Sometimes a “no” today is not a “no” forever. It only means they need more time.
