Some people think that women shouldn't propose a guy. They still believe that proposing is a man's job. The guy needs to do the courting and the proposing.

But others would beg to disagree. They think that there's nothing wrong when a woman wants to propose a guy. But confessing her love to her man isn't exactly an easy task. Here are some tips to help you.

What are your chances?

These days, a woman can make a proposal to a man. Sometimes you just have to ignore how society would view you and listen to your heart instead. You need to have the courage to ask something but at the same time, you also need to be prepared. There is always that risk of rejection.

There's also the chance that your man could also be thinking of proposing to you. You need to be alert with that possibility. If you really want to spend the rest of your life with him and if you think that he's about to propose, then go ahead and wait. If not, then it's up to you to make your move.

Choose the right place and time

If you're really serious about proposing to him, then remember that guys can also be sentimental at times. It would be best not to choose a crowded or busy place because it may just put you in an awkward situation. Instead of choosing crowded restaurants or movie theaters, choose a quiet place instead. You need privacy so how about a walk in the beach or maybe even a garden?

Another thing you need to consider is the right time. This will make proposing a lot easier. You can choose your anniversary, holidays, or even his birthday. It might even be the anniversary of the first time you met or kissed. Just be sure he's in a good mood when you do so. You don't want to propose to a guy who's too preoccupied with things happening in his career.

Think about what you're going to say and make it memorable

It may not be your thing to bend down on one knee and proposing to him and that's okay. You can still make it memorable. As mentioned, it's all about timing. Try choosing an anniversary which brings back fond memories like the first time you kissed. Express your love genuinely because his answer may depend on how you proposed.

Are you really up to this?

Even though modern times don't really frown on women doing the proposals, there are still old-fashioned ideas that refuse to go away. Some men do find it weird when a woman does the proposing. If you think that your man is like that and is uncomfortable with you proposing to him, then you may want to really think about what you're getting into.

When you are trying to propose a guy, you also need to consider what his reactions would be. Try telling him that someone you knew proposed to the she married and gauge his reaction from the story. You can tell if you should go along with your plans based on his reactions.
