Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity for a proposal, but it’s also easy to slip into cliches. Here’s how to propose in a genuinely romantic way: <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Forget what you know<\/span><\/h2>\n

Think outside of the box when it comes to (covid-friendly) activities and locations. Look to your SO’s bucket list for inspiration. To propose, say you know they’ve always wanted to try x activity\/visit x location, and you’d like to try something new too (marriage).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\"Round <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Incorporate her personality<\/span><\/h2>\n

Avoid cliches by making the proposal about her instead of the holiday. Is your SO into the outdoors? Take her on her favorite hike. Is she a classic film buff? Find a viewing of one of her favorites, or set one up yourself!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\"Valentine's <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Choose an unexpected time<\/span><\/h2>\n

Proposals don’t have to take place in the evening. It may soothe any nerves to start the day with a proposal.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>Look to the past<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take a sweet stroll down memory lane. Revisit places that have sentimental meanings: the place where you first said ‘I love you’ or had your first date, for example.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\"Pear <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Go big and go home<\/span><\/h2>\n

Home proposals can be incredibly intimate, but don’t set up a standard movie night. Buy decorations, think of a special activity (a game, indoor or rooftop\/backyard camping, a serenade on an instrument you own), and get dressed up!.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\"At <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

<\/span>It’s all about the engagement ring<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ok, so the question is the main point, but the engagement ring is a close second. She’ll wear it for decades to come, and she’ll show it to her loved ones immediately. Make sure you know your SO’s dream cut:<\/p>\n

\n
Emerald cut diamond<\/span> \"Emerald<\/span> Extravagant and vintage-inspired<\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Round diamond<\/span> \"Round<\/span> Timeless and traditional<\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Pear diamond<\/span> \"Pear<\/span> Unique and composed<\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

<\/span>What to ask yourself before
choosing an engagement ring:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n

<\/span>What’s their ring size? <\/span><\/h2>\n

\n
\n

<\/span>How will the ring look with a wedding band?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Certain cuts are trickier to pair with wedding bands. Square and round shapes will sit more comfortably with wedding bands, but if your SO is set on a marquise cut she can create a pretty stack.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\"Wedding <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span>Does the cut match their lifestyle? <\/span><\/h2>\n

Big rocks are glamorous, but they’re not suitable for all lifestyles. You may want to stick to smaller cuts if your partner has a physically demanding job or hobby.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
