How to propose to my boyfriend ?

I'm a guy, so is he - if I wore a dress to propose, he'd run a mile LOL

I want it to be totally special and a little unique if I can. Thanks for the response

To quote Rod Stewart - "Tonight's the Night"! It's a little after 5am here and I'm heading off to London shortly. Going down on the coach so it'll be lunchtime before I get there. I've booked a 5* hotel for the weekend; it's somewhere we have stayed once before and I know he really loved the place. Meeting him at 2pm and have planned the entire afternoon and evening so that he won't have a clue exactly where or when anything will happen. Not back until late on Monday so you'll have to wait with baited breath to see if everything goes to plan and if I managed to surprise him. Fingers crossed (",)

Well it happened :-) He kinda beat me to it slightly though. Saturday evening we went to a bar, they had a system up where you could send an sms and they would display it - and he sent a message asking me to marry him. I think he was kinda worried that I wouldn't do it so I deliberately waited for the right moment. We went out Sunday evening to the cinema, had a meal and then walked back to the hotel in the moonlight. We took the long way back, walking along the Thames embankment; I waited til I found a lovely spot close to the water, moon reflecting off it, then took the ring I had carried round for two days, got on one knee and asked him then. We plan to wait a while now before we marry but obviously he said yes

Thank you. Feeling a bit sad tonight because I have had to leave him again and come home. Could be another 4 weeks before I see him again but at least that time, we will be flying out to Spain for a holiday together :-)

Hmm.. maybe take him out for a night -- go out for a beautiful dinner, take in a show and then go for a walk together in a park, where you then get down on one knee and tell him you'd be honored if he would spend the rest of his life with you? If he's easily embarrassed, it might be advisable to do it someplace in private, and besides, then it was a personal moment between the 2 of you. No pomp and circumstance.

He loves shopping partying, good food, holidays - the nice life We both do like theatre so I did think of taking him to see a show and trying to arrange to get on stage to propose but might embarrass him that way

maybe I wasn't clear - He's 21, I'm 42 and we are both men! Hence why I proposed

Thank you We will be staying in a hotel so I'm looking for somewhere really special anyway. He flat shares with someone right now and that weekend is an opportunity for us to go flat hunting together.

Well even home hunting is sweet to do together! I hope it goes well!!

He's way too busy looking for new flats for us to want to come on here LOL

Many thanks

Because we don't live together or close to one another, because we have had certain difficulties in our relationship and because we are two men, its not up to now been a traditional proposal. All he is asking for when he asks for a proper proposal is the down on one knee, romantic gesture

Thanks. We do have a restaurant we both like but I think he would expect it to happen there and I'd like to really surprise him when I actually do get on my knee
