Picture this and put yourself in the situation: You find yourself loving someone very much and decide to propose. What are you going to say?

This is for the men. What exactly will you say to convince her you really love her? Forget the SETTING and WHERE exactly you have chosen to propose. I mean, that is a nice consideration too, but in my downtime of thinking about such a situation I鈥檝e come to terms that what matters the most to me about the gestures if a proposal is made is what they choose to SAY.

You say you love me? Ok. But tell me why. What exactly made you make the decision to ask me to marry you?

So what would you say to your girlfriend? I鈥檓 curious to see the variation of answers.

When I proposed to my wife we already had a deep connection and knew what we liked about and with each other...so when I proposed to her I knew it was love, that I was in love with her and that I wanted to share the rest of my life with her...I just asked her if she would marry me and she didn't hesitate in saying yes. "Why" we love someone is not always easy to understand or to know exactly, let alone trying to explain it, we just know that we do and even what we love about them. My wife dearly loves me in every way possible...I do not know nor understand "why" but I know without any doubt at all that she is truthful and sincere and that it is genuine and real so I just trust her, believe her, and cherish it, treasure it, and enjoy it. One cannot decide whether a person's love for them is true or real based on whether or not they can explain "why" they love us.

By the time a guy proposes, you both should have already discussed all that crap. 馃ぃ If you don't know why he loves you and is proposing to you, something is missing from the relationship and he shouldn't be proposing. To expect a guy to give you an explanation as to why he came to the decision to propose means you don't know each other well enough. Propositions, at the time they're given, are an emotional decision, not an analytical one.

@SW-User This!!!! Who needs to be with somebody who is high maintenance emotionally and needs to be told how wonderful they are.

As a woman I wouldn鈥檛 want to hear some long spiel. 3 or 4 sentences is good. Short and sweet is nice. 馃

I'd write her something from my heart. 馃挒 Nothing long, as not to lose her attention, just something short and sweet, that captures my true feelings for her. Of course, the actual proposal, was bungled, because I was sooo nervous. Lolz 馃槤馃き馃挒

馃憖 Wanna see these answers lol.
Although I rather it be something simple yet honest. I wouldn't want some long, drawn out, expensive evening. Just propose and tell me how much I mean to you. I don't need anything extravagant.

I don't need long ass paragraphs tbh. If he's gonna do it, then do it and prove it

Good answer. And yeah, not all men are good with words but I鈥檇 be lying if I said I wouldn鈥檛 be impressed if a guy made a long speech. @SW-User

That ship has already set sail. No way I would get married a second time.

I have no intentions of ever getting married, but assuming for whatever reason I change my mind or something...:

There would be no fancy words, convoluted messages or reasoning. If, by the time I propose, I haven't already proven my love then either I haven't done my part well enough or she isn't really interested in me. If I haven't already convinced her by all the small day-to-day things I'd be doing for her, then she is not the one for me, nor I the one for her.

So perhaps I would find a special setting to propose to her, one that has symbolic value of some sort, but it would probably just be a fairly straight forward "I love you..." *fiddle in pockets to get ring* "...will you marry me?" kind of thing.
