It's important that you don't mess this thing up, especially since proposing to your girlfriend is something you'll only do the one time, if you're lucky!

The following tips will show you how to propose to your girlfriend, and survive:

1. Make it personal! You know exactly what she likes as you've got many shared experiences together, so there's no excuse for copying somebody else's idea!

2. You shouldn't be surprised by her answer! If you're not completely or at least 99% sure that she'll say yes, then you've probably not been going out long enough!

3. Make sure it's a surprise for her! Don't make it an anti-climax, this is her big moment after all!

4. Only make it a public proposal if you're extra certain she'll say yes! You don't want it to turn into a humiliating experience do you!

5. Look after the ring! It's your precious! Don't give it to the Waiter to serve as desert or bury it in sand! You'd deserve to lose it if you did that!

6. Go down on one knee! Yes it's corny, old and a cliche, but it's how she always imagined her proposal would be! So don't disappoint her!

7. Practice! You'll feel stupid doing it, but make sure you do and I mean in front of the mirror and your Dog! Otherwise, she'll be telling all her mates how you bumbled the most important words in both your lives!

8. Create a romantic setting! It's much better than big and lavish! It's all about candles, music, good food and flowers!

9. If you're planning on getting married quickly, then propose in the winter and aim for a spring wedding! Otherwise propose in the spring and you'll have a whole year to prepare!

10. Enjoy the moment! You'll be fine as long as you've practiced and planned for every possible outcome! Good luck!
