Ideas For Proposals
From Creative to Wacky...

The caveman from primitive times may not have been thinking of ideas for proposals when he clubbed his potential mate on her head, and quickly headed back to his abode with 'his catch' draped over his shoulders.

Traditions and customs may have dictated how he selected his bride.

But times have changed, and while we may not whack our sweetheart on her 'knob' with a big stick, yet we can still woe her with a few fatted cows.

Or...

You can dangle a big fat ultra expensive shiny stone before her gaping eyes and easily extract a 'yes'.

But by whatever means...

You got her to say 'YES,'...and that's the most important thing to you.

So, what were your romantic ideas for proposals?

Did you toss her out of an airplane (skydiving is what they call it, eh?!), and frightened her into saying 'yes'.

Did your proposal idea bombed big time because she thought that it was too dumb?

It would be nice to get some of the juicy details.

Ladies, you're invited to share your ideas too.

So, will you...?
