Proposing to my Girlfriend?

I was planning to ask my girlfriend to marry me last Thursday night. But that day she was in a serious car accident a few hours earlier and lost our unborn child because of it. And now my proposal has gone on hold.

Does anyone have any ideas as to when I could ask her to marry me, because I don’t want to ask her at the wrong time.

Thanks!

surprise her. something really romantic. it can be cheesy and a copycat. ring in a champagne glass @ a fancy restaurant. Will you marry me on the bigscreen @ football game? Just getting down on one knee and proposing…so many options. What are her interests? Propose to her based on that, revolving around that..

I don’t want to tell you the wrong thing. The only thing I can tell you is to ask her at a time when you feel comfortable, like at a more peaceful time when there isn’t as much going on.

Wow.
I’m so sorry about your girlfriend and the baby. :( That is so terrible. Is she doing okay?

I think you should do what yewdale suggested. Girls love it when guys are romantic and cheesy .. it makes them look all cute. lol. Also, I think you’ll know when it’s the right time. It’s just this feeling you’ll get, if that makes any sense. Good luck with what you decide. :)

I don’t think she’ll be ready anytime soon. She just lost a baby, and could end up with a case of depression. Watch out for that! Wait a month at least, but if she does truely feel better then ask sooner.

Do you need ways to ask her too? or did you just want to know when? If you want a way to ask then just say so and I’ll tell you of a way that I randomly thought up one day and have been dying to tell someone.

She was 16 weeks, and if anyone reads this so long after posting, yes, I’d still like ways.

The best way I can think of is something that comes from your heart. But I know every girl’s wish is to have a perfect propsal. I’ve heard of guys taping the ring to the inside of a car door handle. so when your fingers go to grip it you find the ring. Getting a puppy and putting the ring on the colar with a dog tag that says marry me. It really is about what you know about her though. The best things in life truely are free so I’d start from there. you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars just for a night no matter what you’ll always remember it =]
