The old adage that opposites attract has never been so pronounced than when considering the engagement proposal and is something which you need to think about and consider carefully. If your personalities display different characteristics then you really need to think about your partner and how they would like to receive the engagement ring rather than how you would.

One of the main factors within this is whether you make the proposal in public or in private. If your partner is particularly outgoing and has a bubbly personality then you may consider it wise to present the ring in public. We have identified many ways which you could do this on this site, yet we would advise you to take some time out to thing about exactly how this could be performed.

Yet, if your partner can be quite shy and introvert then a public proposal may not be the best route to go down. This may elicit excessive nerves and may even make your partner genuinely worried about the immediate situation which they are in.

Your proposal should be memorable for both of you and you need to think about your partner more than yourself especially if the event will come as a surprise to them. A little thought should mean that you are able to make the right decision and of course, we would advise that you read many of the articles on this site to guide you in the right direction.
