There are many romantic ways to propose to your girlfriend.  I’m sure many of you have heard of the old classic, pop the question on a billboard routine.  Of course you have to make sure she’s looking at the billboard as you drive by, or when the message pops up otherwise you’ll have to do the whole thing all over again.  Not fun, especially when the special message cost you a lot of money. 

I heard about one of the more romantic ways to propose, at least for writers, from a friend.  She was a poet and her boyfriend at the time was a part-time writing student.  He took her out to a tasty picnic in the park and while there asked her to critique one of his science fiction stories.  As she read his story she came across the line ‘Will you marry me?� In fact, the question was so well hidden she didn’t even notice it at first and he had to point it out to her.  Ah, literary love.  Anyway they are now married and she has a great original story to tell about how he asked her to marry him.

There is a wide range of romantic ways to propose.  If you are having a hard time figuring something out then you should try and think about her hobbies or her career and use it as creative fodder.  Like the potential hubby in the story I just related, you too can use her hobbies and interests to create a romantic and unique wedding proposal.  Say she has a horse and goes in early every morning to muck out the stalls.  You could go in before her and tie the ring to the stall door with a small note asking her to marry you.  Then ‘hide’ until she shows up and sees the message.
