1. Relive Your First Date
Just because he's a guy doesn't mean he doesn't like a little romance now and again. One of the best ways to propose to him is to recreate your first date. It's sweet and simple without being too mushy. Odds are, it's one of the first moments where you started to fall for each other. Now it can be the moment where you commit to forever with each other.
2. Make a Treasure Hunt
What better treasure is there than spending your lives together? Make the proposal fun by turning it into a treasure hunt. Leave notes and clues in places that have some relevance to your relationship or his interests. He'll be eager to find the prize at the end. When he finally reaches the end of the hunt, have the last note be the proposal. Think of it as a guy's version of romance.
***
Consider customizing each clue to reflect a special moment or inside joke shared between the two of you. Get creative with the hiding spots—tuck them in his favorite book, attach one to his beloved pet's collar, or even get his friends involved to hand him a clue at his usual coffee spot. As the excitement builds with each discovery, so will his anticipation for the final reveal. And when that last clue leads him to you, ring in hand, his surprised smile will be your most cherished treasure yet.
Frequently asked questions
3. Try Something New Together
Is there some activity he's always wanted to try or a place he's wanted to visit? Guys may not like a big public proposal, but they'll love having it incorporated into a new experience. Perhaps he's always wanted to hike in a certain park or try surfing. No matter what it is, do it together. At the end of the day, propose to him and tell him you want to spend your life experiencing new things with him.
***
Embarking on a new adventure creates the perfect backdrop for a meaningful proposal. Picture the peak of a mountain after a challenging hike, the adrenaline of a surf, or the serene quiet of a secluded lake after kayaking. It's in those shared moments of triumph and awe that you can pause, look into his eyes, and ask if he'd like to chase horizons with you forever. By combining the thrill of a fresh experience with the intimacy of your shared journey, you create an unforgettable story of how you chose each other for a lifetime of discovery.
4. Cook All His Favorites
It may sound cliché, but food really is the way to a man's heart. Pick a day where you'll both have plenty of time to enjoy the meal. Cook his favorites and have a romantic candlelight dinner or even a picnic. If you're not a great cook, order something he loves from his favorite restaurant. If all else fails, simply go to his favorite restaurant.
***
Consider putting your culinary skills to the test by preparing a sumptuous spread of his most-loved dishes. Transform your dining area into a private, enchanting bistro with soft music and dim lighting to enhance the ambiance. If cooking isn't your forte, curate a meal with a blend of takeout and homemade items to add a personal touch. As he savors each bite, ease into your heartfelt proposal, making the experience unforgettable. Remember, it's not just about the food, but the thought and effort that counts.
5. Propose through His Hobbies
This is your chance to get really creative. Think about his hobbies and how you can incorporate the proposal. For instance, if he loves playing video games, have a custom game created with the proposal. If he loves to run, challenge him to a race, let him win and reward him with the proposal. Basically, just have fun and make it part of his favorite hobby.
***
In addition to the traditional ways of proposing to your significant other, incorporating his hobbies into the proposal can add a personal touch and make the moment even more special. This can also show your partner that you pay attention to his interests and want to make the proposal unique and memorable. Some other ideas for incorporating hobbies into the proposal include taking him on a surprise fishing trip and revealing the proposal on a customized lure, or creating a scavenger hunt with clues related to his favorite sports team leading up to the proposal. These ideas can make the proposal not only romantic, but also fun and exciting for both of you.
6. Give Him Something He's Interested in
If you want to be more traditional and just straight out ask him during a quiet moment, the real challenge is in finding what to give him. After all, us girls expect a ring. He should get something too. If he's not into jewelry, give him something he's interested in and have it personalized. For instance, an engraved pocket knife, a one of a kind collectible or a custom book all make great tokens of your affection.
7. Put It on the Big Screen
If you're sure he won't mind a more public proposal, put your proposal up for all to see at his favorite sporting event. Not only is he getting to enjoy something he loves, but he'll be front and center for a few minutes. It's fun, romantic and shows him you know what he likes. You should be completely sure he'll say yes or it could be embarrassing for both of you.

Another creative way to propose to your significant other is by putting it on the big screen at his favorite sporting event. This combines his love for sports with a romantic gesture that will surely catch him off guard. However, it's important to make sure that he will say yes before going through with this public proposal. You don't want to risk embarrassing him or yourself in front of a large crowd. This idea is perfect for couples who share a love for sports and enjoy attending games together. It's a unique and memorable way to pop the question and show your partner that you know and appreciate their interests.
8. Make a Video
Guys love YouTube. Why not propose via one of his favorite websites? You'll likely need some help with this one though. Come up with a fun idea and make a video around it. For instance, ask his friends to each say something less than flattering about him and say you still love him anyway. You could perform a song or perform a crazy stunt. Like with hobbies, get creative and have fun with it.

9. A Sweet Note
Nothing is more simple and romantic than a love letter. In today's tech crazed world, what is more meaningful than a handwritten letter that says exactly what you feel? If you really want to make it special, place a man's ring around the letter. When he looks up, be standing there ready to hear his answer. It's personal and something he will remember forever.
While women might prefer something more flashy, guys really do like keeping things fairly simple. Do something you know you'll both be comfortable with. No matter what you do, be sincere and let him know how much you care. Have you ever proposed or thought about proposing to a guy?
Comments
bridgette: if a man is truly ready to commit, he'll propose to YOU! Nuff said
Barbie: if he wants me, it has to be him doing the proposal.
Shae23: At no time should a woman ever propose to, ask out, or do too much for a man. Somehow the gender roles in relationships have been confused. The woman is the prize and should be cherished. If the man doesn't have to work to get her, she will not be appreciated!!!!
aanchal: Could you please make a post on how to break a social norm- asking a guy out?
Lolla: Yes I agree.Would rather he do it.After all is once in a lifetime!
janell: what if he is in the ARMY
Mariana: Proposing is for sure something I like to keep traditional however if you're saying that guys should be the ones doing all the asking out, well that's just wrong and I feel sorry for you. Have fun waiting around on a guy, I personally would rather go and get what I want. My current boyfriend thinks it was so sexy and doesn't feel like I've taken anything away from him. Other then pressure of course! :)
Flicka: If you do not want to propose to him, then don't. This is an article for people who don't care about the "norms". Give 'em a break, will you?
ayre: cool (:
Mylah: booooo👎 this sucks
