How to propose to your man
continued from page 1
My favourite idea is lovely dinner, candles and mind-blowing sex - then mention marriage in the wonderful afterglow. If he's not asleep already, he could be pretty receptive.
Don't stress him out. A gentle query over the washing up ('wanna share these suds... forever') will probably be less heart attack-inspiring than the full-on string quartet airport dash. Remember, it's women who go to see romantic movies and read romantic books.
Wait till his team wins a big game. The euphoria should carry you both through.
Hold up a piece of card that says 'Will you marry me?' on it, and ask him to read it out loud. Then say, 'Why, I'd be delighted.'
And for a sneaky final tip. In the Middle Ages, when the law was passed (by Queen Margaret of Scotland- yes, it was a real law!), if a woman proposed in leap year and was turned down, the man had to give her a kiss and a silk gown. So, perhaps just propose to the nearest rich person you know and go shopping...
Of course, if you lose your nerve, you could drop back to the more traditional methods, like mooching very slowly past jewellery shops (remember: men are stupid), asking him whether he likes gold or platinum ('just wondered') or, in the last ditch attempt, come off the Pill without telling him. Oh, come on, I'm kidding!
