Irish tradition may dictate that women are only allowed to propose on this special day, but 2012 has also seen an influx of a new trend: women proposing to men.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re sick of waiting for your boyfriend to bite the bullet, or you want to make the ultimate grand gesture, proposing to your man can be an exciting, anxious, and nerve-wracking moment. But not to worry &#8211; if you want to sweep your man off his feet with your marriage proposal, here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop for a Wedding Band<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many women opt to propose to their boyfriends with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.25karats.com\/wedding-bands\">wedding band<\/a>. If you want to put an interesting yet traditional spin on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.25karats.com\/mens-diamond-rings\">engagement ring<\/a>, opt for a 14K wedding band with a single diamond solitaire. If your man isn\u2019t a diamond type of guy, don\u2019t worry: you can still offer him a gold plain band with your anniversary date etched in the metal, or propose with a trendy and cool band in contemporary metals such as titanium, cobalt or Argentine silver. Let your proposal be an opportunity to unleash your creative side!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play It Low-Key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proposing to your man is a very romantic gesture \u2013 but chances are that he won\u2019t want it to be as public as, say, a proposal in Madison Square Garden. While more women are opting to propose to their boyfriends, many men still believe in the traditional role of the man proposing to the woman. Therefore, swap the proposal in the middle of your favorite restaurant for something more secluded and intimate, like a walk on your favorite beach or during a candlelit dinner at home. Remember, men like romance just as much as women do!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider Your Ring!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many women who\u2019ve proposed to their significant others often say that their fianc\u00e9s insist on buying them a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.25karats.com\/engagement-rings\">diamond engagement ring<\/a> after the proposal. Therefore, if you\u2019re going to propose to your man, make it easy on the probably-flustered man: have a set idea in mind of your dream diamond engagement ring. That way, you\u2019ll be on the fast-track towards getting a ring of your own, so you can show it off to all your friends and family members!<\/p>\n<p>Proposing to your man is an exciting and romantic moment \u2013 make sure to enjoy every moment of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While 2012 may be a Leap Year, that doesn\u2019t mean you have to wait for February 29th to propose to your man.
