Your thoughts about popping the question?
0
I've been with my girlfriend for about 5 years now, going onto the 6th, and she is great. We enjoy our company, understand each other, fight over small stuff, make up, and I sure that I'm ready to ask her to marry me. I've kinda asked her as a casual question about 11 months ago, something while out having some tea and she replied "About time". So I dunno if maybe she thought of it as small talk or if I picked a bad time (since we both were lethargic at the time) or something. But I think after 5 years, living in my house, paying bills together, etc, we basicly are married, and I just want to make it official. Don't you guys think so?
Anyway, we planned a trip to South Korea and Japan in August and I was thinking those would be perfect places to pop the question. So my question is how would/where would you guys ask your lover to marry you while in Korea/Japan and if it is best to do it all spontanious like in the middle of Shibuya Crossing or in a small coffee shop somewhere? And, hopefully she won't say no, but if she does deal with your rejection?

In these situations I always say it's best left to your discretion. One must "feel the mood" in these situations before they pop the question.
I had a buddy of mine who purposely picked probably the worst time ever to pop the question (They were being stopped by a police officer and the ring fell out of his pocket)and it went from a "OMG WE'RE GETTING A TICKET" moment to his wife screaming happily (Much to my friends chagrin, as the officer was shaking his head, and let them off with a warning due to the events)
Honestly, it depends on your partner. Is she sarcastic? Is she laid back? Is she serious?
You have to take these things into account when popping the question. Obviously a serious person isn't going to think that popping the question while your getting a ticket is the way to go, and they're likely to shake their head and be dissapointed with you.
Anyways. If you're the analytic type, I suggest planning ahead for when you're going to pop the question. Preparation never hurt anybody in events like this.
In any case, I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.

I think it sounds like the right time to pop the question, she clearly thinks it's about time, and if she's made the "it's about time" comment, she won't say no.
I'd say do it publically, not in a small coffee shop, maybe on a nice warm sunny day, go to a cute park or something, and just get on one knee and ask her.
Do it :3 let us know how things go, I have much confidence in you!

Thanks guys, yeah, I'll prolly get real paranoid with the ring in my pocket. I'll tell you guys in August how it goes, and maybe some pics too. Pretty freaking excited.

Whatever you do, don't do it in Shibuya Crossing. I went there. It's busy as fuck. There's no time to propose when people are trying to get to work and cars are waiting for the go signal.
Other than that it's pretty much up to you.
Do you honestly need it to be somewhere really public like in a coffee shop?
You could always go for a more discreet place like a park.
Once that question pops you two will feel like you're the only people on earth.
Japanese people aren't really too keen on PDA.

A nice park in Japan sounds wonderful! Try to find a nice tree or something.
And if you can, try to not let her peek at what's in your hand/pocket...
I made the mistake of peeking through my hands while my guy started his "speech" and now I wish I could have heard what he wanted to say...
But we already knew we were getting married anyways, it was just a formality. c:
Regardless, I wish you the best of luck! Take lots of pics!

lol yeah pretty much this. And, like, you might not even get the applause from the coffee shop which would make it a little weird.

Yeah, a park or someplace where there isn't alot of people seems like the best place. There is also Namsan Park in Korea that I was also thinking about doing. Plus, Koreans are a more lenient when it comes to PDA.

Pop the question when it feels natural. This is the person that, assuming you've been through the ringer already, have settled into jobs/careers/studies that you both know you're committed to, have similar views on family, politics, and religion, and genuinely feel there is a strong companionship, then worrying about the perfect place is purely trivial in comparison to the magnitude of what you have.
Ask her, meaningfully, when you know the both of you are connecting. It doesn't have to be picturesque. There doesn't need to be fireworks or a skywriter or something extravagant. You already have extravagance in the relationship.
When you feel both of your hearts are opening to one another, look into her eyes and tell her that there's never going to be another person that you want to spend your life with more than her. Give her the ring and tell her that it's a promise. Thick and thin, bad, worse, and apocalypse, it's you two. together. forever.
