Proposing...

Recently, there was a discussion on our Orkut Community : Ubharte kalakaar on Proposing. I rarely write such long stuff... but this analysis came out quite quick!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposing.......well, There are many ways... Depends on how romantic you and the opposite person is and How good u know the other person.
Always recommended: Be good friends first... If u don't know her, you can't love her, simple!

P L A C E S:

In restaurants or Coffee Shops:
I will NOT prefer proposing in CCD or any other restaurant for that matter. Can make her uncomfortable if its NO from her side. Coz she can neither say no and then continue with dinner nor she can walk out on you (If she is some Hi-FI Tomboy types, then she will probably empty a glass of water on your face and leave).

On Phone: Simply Lame. If u don't even have guts to go in front of her, then don't go ahead at all.

Email/SMS: Great medium BEFORE and AFTER propose. Good night SMS, good morning SMS, nice shayari's, egreetings, "missing u" msgs, But NOT for that actual "Event", I mean, come on!, don't convert the actual event in to Binary 010101.

Letter: Yah.. only if u r in standard 12th! :-) Too much 1980s. Can still work if girl is "gav ki chori" ;-)or balbodh types.
Can be very romantic at times and can do wonders, IF and only IF its written well... so be careful. Recommended for: Neeraj, Harsh, Pradeep, Piyush... these ppl can write well. :-) :-)

Via Friend: Holy crap! Absolutely NO!! No Guts - No Girl!

And the Winner(s) is/are:

Some quiet/not very crowded place:
I know its not possible to find one in Bangalore, but u can choose an odd day (weekday) or "little" late in the night. Make sure that the place is near to her house so that she can leave on her own and don't have to ask u for lift even after saying NO to u :-)

Seaface / beach(For Mumbaikars): Oh man... nothing like it. And that's also while watching sunset, Absolutely nothing! Chances of getting YES are higher than any other options mentioned below. Say 90%.

W H A T T O S A Y:

Ok.. keep it short and simple. Not much tips here, use your brain.
BUT: Don't say huge quotes, some crap from mail forwards, or some Marathi Kavitas that we get everyday. Tell her that u like her and move forward.
