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’ve 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’m 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.
