First, I didn't - this book was written in my sleep. Second, as a man who has experienced all that life has to offer, multiple times, I am certain that love is one of the best gifts there is. Third, I know women, having come from one, and experiencing many others. I also know men, though not for the same reasons.You want to propose to the woman in your life, but haven't the faintest idea what it truly takes to make it interesting and remarkable. Who else would be qualified to give you such advice besides me?From the outside looking in, proposing appears to be a simple and fairly straightforward process. There are no hard and fast rules, and every couple is unique, right? Wrong. There are indeed expectations and rules to pulling off a flawless engagement and most couples are more alike than dissimilar in the grand scheme of things.The opportunity to make blunders is a very real and unfortunately, common reality. So much so, that a simple internet search will reveal hordes of message boards filled with women complaining about how let down they were with their guy's lack of romantic forethought and subsequently searching for some way to get over their disappointment or devastation.Sadly, they probably never will. There are no do-overs when it comes to proposing to your girlfriend, so if you don't get it right the first time, be prepared to have no wife at all, or a wife who will always associate negative thoughts with the way you proposed. There will be no special moment to reflect on when times get hard, just a nagging thought that you didn't care enough even then, and persistent doubts about your relationship.I don't know about you, but if you aren't interested in doing everything you can within your means, to make sure your woman is not only satisfied, but blown away and secure in your love for her, by delivering a marriage proposal that she wants to tell everyone within earshot about it, then maybe the time isn't right or she's not the one.However, the mere fact that you have invested in this book to make sure you get every aspect right, tells me that you have probably found true love.I'm optimistic that you are right
