Contrary to popular beliefs, it’s not always the guys who are the first ones to take a step. There have been many instances where the girl is the first one to pop the question or propose to her man. And we love a modern tale like that. If you’re someone who’s been wanting to take a leap and propose to your boyfriend, but don’t know what to do, then fret not. We’ve got you covered, ladies, with an easy guide on how to propose to a guy and sweep him right off his feet.
But first, we’d like you to consider one thing. Proposing your partner to marry you is a huge step and it shouldn’t be forceful or hasty. So, make sure you and your partner are ready to take things forward. Have a conversation with him about his views on marriage, or whether he wants to get married soon or not. After all, it’s a mutual bond and both of you need to be ready. So, are you ready to make your man the luckiest guy in the world? Read this how-to propose to a guy guide and go get him!

2. Plan An Adventurous Trip
If your boyfriend is someone who loves adventure and going on trips, then we’ve got good news. The best possible way for your man to be bamboozled by your proposal would be to ask him to be your trip buddy for life at a beautiful location where you both are alone. We’re sure he would be taken by surprise and wouldn’t be able to say no.

3. An Intimate Dinner Date
So, we all know that not everyone is a fan of PDA, and if your man is one of those people, then a romantic dinner date at a restaurant is out of the question. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a romantic dinner at home. If there’s anything a pandemic has taught us, it’s being atmanirbhar. Put your cooking skills to the test or just order in yours and his favorite cuisines. And you can open your heart out to him in the coziness of your homes. It will show him your love as well as your concern and consideration for planning it all in an intimate setting. Now, how can you say no to that?

5. Indulge In His Favorite Activity
Another great way to show that you’re here for him through thick and thin is to start taking interest in his interests. No matter how annoying or boring they may be for you, you’ve to show him that you’d tolerate it all, only for him. Whether it’s watching a match when his favorite team is playing or listening to his favorite artists. Plan a day where he gets to choose all the activities of the day, and then surprise him with a sweet proposal. (We can imagine how cute that’s going to be.)

6. Make It Full Circle
Lastly, if you’re both a romantic bunch, then you should start this new journey where it all began. Take him to the spot where you both met for the first time, whether it’s a cafe, a movie theater, a bus stop. No matter what the place is, it’s the sentiment behind it that matters the most. Spend your day like it was your first date and at the end when you both said bye to each other, you end up proposing to him.
