So what is the best way?

1) Big, showy, embarassing?
2) Corny but flashy?
3) Quiet and romantic?

    I think you (and everyone else) have answered that one for yourself!
    There again, if you are über confident, make a big show of it (any doubts keep it discreet!).

    3, then if they say no, no one will be any the wiser.

    Good luck though!

    Option 3 all the way unless the future Mrs Addickted loves pomposity more than you. I asked my missus in front of no one, on holiday, by the side of the bottomless lake in Aghios Nikolaos, Crete.

    Bloody ouzo ; )

    I'd probably say if you dont know the answer to which of those she would prefer then maybe you shouldnt ask?

    Depends on what she is like as a person. Do you think she would like you to propose publicly, or would she be embarrassed?
    I'd be embarrassed!

    Never, ever in public. It should always be a private matter. Anything else is putting unfair pressure on. Whatever your style of delivery, it should be heartfelt.

    The big question you have got to answer is would she like you to propose with a ring or would she want to choose the ring herself. Get that wrong mate and you might as well forget it.

    play football Sunday morning, win (and score), go to pub & get pissed and then return home on a high and pop the question.

    Never, ever on the pitch at a football match. If anyone did that to me I'd be sorely tempted to say "Only if we win".
