How can I propose her? (ask her if she marries me)?

I had been dating this girl for like 5 months and now we are in two different countries but soon getting together for another few months. She is American and I come from some where else (which I don’t wanna mention here) I’m 21 years old and she is 33 I guess I do really like her even though we sometimes have arguments. That’s enough for background info and here are the questions

1)Do you guys buy a Diamond ring and ask “will you marry me”

2)how can I be sure that she won’t refuse before proposing I don’t wanna sound silly

3) Do you think it’s a good idea to propose at this stage? I hope I have given you enough back ground info to answer this

Thanks alot

Update:

no I’m not from Iraque or anywhere close

Update 2:

No that’s not for a green card or anything like that for sure I think I love her and how do I know if I love her cos I have never loved before besides the crazy high school crushes? what I feel and I know is she is the most amazing person I have ever met and I can’t even think of being with another girl

Update 3:

People please don’t report any answers and neither will I. I appreciate your thoughts no matter how you say it

  • To be honest u might really like this girl, but you have been together 5 months and you said you argue… If i was you i would wait untill you have spent abit more time together in the same country.

    And for future refrence no you dont need a diamond ring to ask someone to marry you if she loves you she would say yes with or without the diamond…

  • 1) Yes, most definitely. That’s the traditional way to do it, at least. There are many variations. By this I mean, perhaps she prefers rubys over diamonds. It doesn’t HAVE to be a diamond ring, but many prefer diamonds. And you don’t have to say “will you marry me” in those words exactly. You could say “will you spend the rest of your life with me” or something different.

    2) You could always talk to her about it. Ask her if she’s ever thought about marriage. Or mention something about your future together and see how she reacts. Mention a house you’d like to buy together. Or something to let her know that you see the two of you being together in the long run.

    3) It seems a bit early to me, but only you can answer this. A number of people do get married this early in a relationship. Others wait for years. If you know at this point that you don’t want to be without her, and that you want to spend the rest of your life with her, than go for it!

    Good luck!!

  • like others stated you need to chill and take time to find out if she wants to get married at thistime in her life and if you have the financial and emotional maturity to handle that. At 21 you may be more impulsive and not think about the details of it all. It may be an infatuation you have with this woman and long lasting love may not be realistic yet. It’s not impossible for you to have something meaningful together for the long termbut you need to have some very honest and calm dicussions Rather than a TV or movie type”pop the question” thing, try a time when ou all able to have a relaxed conversation and ask her directly what are her thoughts on marriage , whether w you or someone else, what are her concerns and is she ready to settle down. What sacrifices is she readyto make, like moving, children,career, etc. Are you ready for the same? are there cultural issues that you need to discuss firt before any real trouble starts in disagreements like how to raise children, will the wife work full time and travel in her work often, etc. Calm down and write down these things before hand Be prepared to speak thoughtfully, not just I” love you and it will all work out”- uhh- not a good plan, unless divorce is part of it .

  • I haven’t read the other answers…..

    Well talk to her about marriage. If you guys have already talked about marriage and it sounds like she wants to marry you then the next step is to make sure you are truly compatible. Are your fights silly ones? Are they ones that don’t compromise your beliefs and ones that you can still get past and live happy together for the rest of your lives. The rest of your life is a long time so you have to be sure. So many people get married too fast and end up in divorce. I am one that believes that sometimes you just know even if it has only been a few months. My husband and I got married after just ten months and I now know what happiness is.

    Okay for a proposal, this is what girls dream about and talk about to their girlfriends. One I like is a guy gets access to her house (only if this is possible) put dozens of roses in a room and she’ll wonder WTF and you jump out with the ring. Video tape her reaction. Also I’m giving you a website of unique ways so you can choose what fits for you.

    Now if you aren’t sure she is ready to marry you, wait a little longer. It will seem like a long time but being patience sometimes pays off. Just to let you know I’m 29 (almost 30) and my husband is 25 and I love it! Some guys are just really mature for their age. Please update us on you, I’ll be checking this question later on to see what happens. Good luck!

  • No offense – okay? You haven’t known her very long! For you to add into our very short background info that : “I guess I really do like her, even though we sometimes have arguements” is something for you to think about. Why did you tell us that? Don’t you deserve to say ” I love her!”? Granted, everyone has arguments, but that shouldn’t be something on your mind at the same time you’re thinking about proposing. That is a red flag. You are talking about spending the REST of your LIFE with this person. You need more time to truly get to know someone. I’m afraid you can’t be sure what her answer will be. And lastly, as a female, I don’t think it is necessary to purchase the ring before asking. It is perfectly okay to wait and tell her you would like her to pick out the one she likes.

  • If you live in a different country, then I would recommend waiting until you are really sure you are ready to get married. You are still in the phase where everything is great. You should at least be dating for a year before you even talk about getting married. You can ask her where she sees herself ina few years and see if she mentions being married. Ask her what her thoughts on marriage are. But seriously, listen to the others on here and wait. It’s to soon. No matter how nice it is while dating, when you live with someone you get to see all the quirks they have and what drives you crazy! If you can work on compromise you will be fine.

  • Well the first thing is you can never be sure if she won’t refuse. Why? Because both of you have only known each other for 5 months and plus you’re living in different countries.Anyway, if you’re really serious about proposing, why bother about sounding silly?

    I think you have not given it enough thought since you only guess you like her. Have you thought about where to stay (in which country) if you both were to get married?

    I don’t know about you, but if i want to get married, i’d make sure i love the person not simply because i like the person.

  • Make sure that is Romantic! Girls LOVE that! Have flowers, and candles all around. Take her to a nice restaurant and ask to be seated in the back some where away from others, so that it will just you too. You can do something like put the ring in her cake or champaigne, if that is something she likes. Compliment her, and then pop the question! Just make sure thet you love her, and she loves you. Make sure you are not rushing into anything. If you have doubts, wait until a later date to propose. Their is an age difference, so consider that. I hope i helped and good luck! Let us know how it turns out!

  • Wait a little bit longer. After you guys meet together and get together and take her out a few times. To give her a hint, go for a walk couple days a week. Go past a lot of jewelry stores or as many as you can find. Always stop her at the window and say WOW that looks really nice, or which one do you like? I like that one too or i know i like them all too. After you have been together for a year or longer ask her, do you think we would rush it to get married? Ask a few times then a few months later, take her to an italian restaurant or to the beach or some place, when its the sun is going down, and it doesn’t have to be a ring, and get down on one knee and ask her, Will you marry me? Dint rush it though.. i wouldn’t..

  • This is NOT the time to proposed. You have not spent any time together and writing someone is not getting to know and interaction with that person. Coming from two different countries could be a major problem of social interaction with friends, where you live, raising children. Besides she is seriously older than you are.

    One of you needs to move nearer the other person for at least six month to a year before you decide if you are marriage material
