What Is The Best Way To Propose To An Asian Girl?

“This is the girl I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.” You think to yourself.

After years of spending time together, you finally decide that you want to tie the knot. The only catch is that you absolutely have no idea how to propose to her.

The ring in your pocket has been sitting for a while now and you still haven’t gotten around popping the question.

Not to worry, though. We have the guide just for you.

If reading this article is any indication, the woman you plan to spend the rest of your life with is an Asian woman. And you were right for clicking on this article because there are a lot of things to consider before, during and after you propose to your soon-bride-to-be.

And among the many you have to consider, your biggest dilemma would have to be how you’re going to execute your proposal with no setbacks.

Women have their preferences when it comes to proposals — some like it simple while others like it grand. The same is true for Asian women.

These women don’t expect you to dish out a couple of hundreds when it comes to proposals (well in the first place they shouldn’t expect it at ALL), but they would still want to experience the euphoria of getting the proposal that they’ve dreamed of.

While there is no such thing as a “perfect” proposal, you sure can make it the best one there is. If you want to make it a memorable experience for your dearly beloved, then best prepare yourself for a ton of preparations.

Before anything else, ask for her parent’s blessing

Before you can even think of marrying her, you have to tell her parents first, most especially if her parents are the traditional kind.

Just to insert a history lesson real quick: in some Asian households, a suitor is required to ask the parents of his intended for her hand in marriage. Depending on her parents, this may or may not involve dowry.

Of course, in today’s world, a few other households have broken from this tradition.

Regardless of whether it is still being practiced or not, it’s always best to inform her parents ahead of time. You might even possibly gain their favor. Her family will most possibly be a constant presence in your life as a soon-to-be-married couple.

Getting them to like you little by little (if they haven’t already) will help you in the long run. Your future self will thank you for all the subtle preparations, rest assured.

Besides, they’re most likely going to be involved preparing the wedding, so it would be nice to have that extra hand in your preparations.

Either way, you still have a lot to prove to her parents. They may see you as someone who really cares about their daughter, but you may need to prove to them that you are a capable husband.

If you want her parents to see you as a suitable candidate for their daughter, asking for their permission is a great way to hit it off.

Thinking of the best way to propose

So you managed to get her parent’s blessing. Initiating operation “Return The Wedding Ring To Its Rightful Owner”.

Your next goal is to build a proposal that represents your relationship as a couple. This might be quite tedious, but all in all, it’s pretty fun to plan out especially when you share the same hobbies.

If you like hiking, proposing to your wife at a favorite hiking spot with a beautiful view would be a romantic idea. If you’re more of a traveler, proposing to her in her ideal location doesn’t sound half bad.

Whatever it is, you have to make sure that this resonates well with you and your partner. Tailor fitting your proposal according to what brings you together as a couple is a sure-fire way into building that nostalgic atmosphere you want.
