How would you propose to your girlfriend? How would you want to be proposed to?

Hi everyone! I just joined and was hoping I could get some tips. I’m wondering how you go about planning a proposal.

What kinds of steps do you need to take and what sorts of things should you take into consideration when you’re planning it? That is, what can you do to make sure she won’t be let down at all?

I would want it to be fun and unique but still very heartfelt and romantic. If you have general suggestions or personal experiences to share, I would be very grateful to hear them. Thanks!
