CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How would you propose?

I'm stuck between the 2 answers. I know my boyfriend genuinely believes I'm his future wife, he's certainly thought about proposals because he told me he wouldn't want us to be "you-know" until after we graduated, if not until after I did my pgce. Anywho..
He's demonstrated his ability to do romantic plans, valentines week was a revelation, our second proper date turned from what I thought was just a meal at his and a natter (we were praying and getting to know each other better) into suprise threatre tickets, and my birthday pressie was also well thought out and stressed over. Therefore I know he's capable, and would like to plan a proposal unique to us and put that fore-thought and effort in. Also I want the thought to be there so I know he means it, not some blurted out heat of the moment thing. Having said that, knowing my Matthew what will happen is he plans it and then gets over excited and asks me early!!

I chose spontaneous. I'm already engaged, and I chose this because he went for planned and romantic, but to pull it off he had to get our roommates/friends to help and that really ruined it for me, mostly because his roommate has a big mouth, so most of Bible study in his dorm knew about it before I did. I'm tempted to give him the ring back and let him do it again, in a way that will be more suited to our personalities.

It'll be a surprise to me but well planned out for him. I'm a hopeless romantic...so I hope he keeps that in mind. I'm sure he will though

I wouldn't propose. But I decided to I'd go with a well thought out plan. Although I'm useless at keeping secrets from him, I'd certainly give it a go.
Something dramatic and thrilling that we'd be able to tell our children about.

I would have to go with planned out and romantic. I bought the ring and I'm trying to decide exactly how to do it. I have lots of ideas, I just want it to be very memorable for her. A lot of pressure to get it right that's for sure.

well... if you were the one proposing, I would think it would be the right thing to buy him a ring... but also then point out that him being the man, it might be an idea for him to buy a ring for you... I know I would buy one... though... I fully intend to be the one doing the proposing anywaySo as I woman, if I were to propose would I have to buy myself a ring or do I forfeit my ring since I'm the one proposing and buy him one?

Well... finally here is the full story... Yesterday we went out to her families cabin on the Ocean... we spent part of the day playing cards and then went for a walk on the beach...
Way back on our very first date, well after our very first date I had written her a letter... because at that point I was pretty sure that she was "the one"
As we walked along the beach it was kindof raining... and I was kindof bummed out cause it looked like my well versed plan might not work... but there was this huge stump that had washed in on the beach during one of the storms this winter... so we walked down to it...
Now I had taken my camera bag... in which I had the letter and the ring stored... so when we got down to the stump I rolled over a log and we sat down... and the rain kindof let up... so I pulled the bag off of my back... and opened it up and got out the letter...
I gave her the letter, and as she was reading it I pulled out the ring... got down on one knee and as she finished it I popped the question... and of course she said yes!

The rule I've ALWAYS used is "Ye who doeth the proposing, buyeth the ring"
okay without the old english most of the time but that's the general rule. If you wanna follow that or not is up to you...but if I were to propose to him, I'd buy him a ring and subtly (or not so subtly) hint that I want one too

I'd like a romantic proposal, but I have to admit...I think that anything my honey did would seem romantic to me. All I want is him, so I don't care how he does it!
A friend suggested that he take me to a concert by my favourite band and get one stage and propose! Now that would be a night to remember!

How would I propose?
In a way that I'd not even hint at on a public forum. But that's just me. Sharing afterward is something else....
