A good amount of the stories start with, \u201cI knew it was going to happen, I just didn\u2019t know when\u2026\u201d That\u2019s because these days getting engaged is more of a conversation than it used to be. Gone are the days where the question isn\u2019t rhetorical.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, one big hurdle you have when you\u2019re planning your proposal is to actually, truly, seriously surprise her. Here are some ways to do that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Make \u201cplans\u201d for you or her and give her specific details about said plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Example 1: Tell her you have a work event that evening. Tell her that \u201cso-and-so\u201d is going to be speaking (\u201cremember the VP I told you about that has the triplets\u2026 he\u2019s the one speaking\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Example 2: Have a friend plan a sorority sister brunch (or something). I would try to have a not-so-close friend suggest the plans and then have a closer friend encourage that they go together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Go to the mall a day or two before, pass by a jeweler and suggest you look around so you can \u201cget to know her taste.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At this point, you already have the ring in your desk at work. This strategy is definitely a bit risky but if you can keep a straight face, it can really throw off the timing of her expectations. She\u2019ll be shocked when you pull out the most beautiful ring she\u2019s ever seen a mere two days after she convinced herself you obviously hadn\u2019t even started shopping yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Tell her you\u2019re waiting for another milestone before you get engaged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned above, getting engaged is often talked about many times before it actually happens. When it gets brought up next, have a \u201cserious\u201d conversation with her. Tell her that you love her and that you\u2019re just as excited to get engaged as she is, but that you want to make sure \u201cxxx\u201d happens before that. Perhaps it\u2019s that you get a promotion at work or that you move in together beforehand. Reassure her that it will happen (don\u2019t be a <em>you-know-what<\/em> and pretend you\u2019re not sure), but that there is an understandable milestone for you to hit first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Suggest you take a trip together a few weekends after the date you plan to propose.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re planning your proposal for July 10<sup>th<\/sup>. A few weeks before, tell her you want to take her somewhere the weekend of July 17<sup>th<\/sup> or 24<sup>th<\/sup>. She\u2019ll immediately think it\u2019s going happen on the trip (and so will all her friends and family), and she\u2019ll be royally stumped when it happens anytime before that.<\/p>\n<p>Want to hear other ways men have done it?
