Leaping into a Proposal

• Girls like champagne and flowers. Glitterbitch thinks this will send a boy running to the hills. Instead, take him to The Purple Bar at The Sanderson and buy him a good shot of whisky. He might just need it.
• Don't be tempted to buy a ring. This is weird. But don't be afraid to buy presents. A pair of diamond cufflinks might just do the trick. Or the keys to a sports car. Something special that isn't girly is the way to go.
• Most men don't like public displays of affection. You already know this. So as tempted as you are, don't stand on London Bridge, Tower Bridge or any other kind of bridge and do it with an audience. Unless you want him to jump.
• Take him to his favourite place. Whether that's outside his favourite football ground, or Green Park where you first met (apparently guys do remember this stuff), somewhere special. After all, he's head over heels with you. Remind him why.

If he says yes? Spoil him rotten and hope that he still buys you a ring. If he says no? Pretend you're drunk. Foolproof.

Let us know how it goes.
