Figure out how to ask a girl to marry you because when the time comes, you will be taking a pretty big step into a brand new life with someone special. Because this is such a bog occasion in your life, and hers as  well, you want to make sure that it is memorable and something that she can tell all of her friends and family later.

  1. Decide when you are going to ask a girl to marry you. You want to set a date so that you can plan. Look ahead in the calendar and see if there is a special occasion or event that would make it the perfect time to ask her to marry you.
  2. Make sure you have a ring. There is no point in asking a girl to marry you if you don't have a ring. This is an important part of the process and cannot be overlooked. It might be a good idea to get some idea of what she is looking for when it comes to an engagement ring. Don't just go out there and buy anything. Also, get down on one knee. It just adds a special touch and makes the moment more intimate.
  3. Plan out what you are going to say. The worst thing you can do it just start talking and not come up with anything in advance. If you aren't sure what to day, think about some of the reasons that you are asking her to marry you in the first place. You can talk about some of the memorable moment in your relationship. Just be sure that you take your time and really think this part through.
  4. Ask her parents. While it seems to be that no one is this traditional anymore, asking for her father's permission or blessing is something that might get you pretty far with the in-laws. It gives them some advanced notice on what is going on and let's them know that you take them seriously. Remember, they have spent a lot of time and care raising her.
  5. Just ask her. When it comes down to it, if you are sure that she shares your feelings, just go ahead and ask a girl to marry you.
