My article looks at a few new ways people can propose to their girlfriend, because the traditional proposal methods are getting a little boring these days. If you find the girl of your dreams you want to propose to her in the most magical way possible, so let’s look at a few modern methods that can finally replace the more traditional ones.

On a roller coaster

This is tricky to pull off, but if you succeed you will have a great story to tell the grandchildren. First you need to find a roller coaster where they take a photo of your car as you go over a big drop. You’ve also got to have a few pieces of paper ready and when combined they should read ‘Will You Marry Me?’ Your girlfriend will need to be at the front of the car and you can give the paper to the people sitting behind you. When she goes to look at the photo after the ride she will give you an answer.

A QR code necklace

QR codes are becoming very popular these days and they can do so many things. You can even use your phone to scan an advertisement in a magazine and you’ll be sent online to buy the product. You can also buy your girlfriend a QR code necklace and you can give it to her as a gift when you’re somewhere special. If she is curious she will scan the code straight away to see what it says and the words ‘Will You Marry Me?’ will appear on her mobile phone.

After a nice coffee

If your girlfriend has a coffee obsession there is a good chance she drinks lots of it every day, but I hope she doesn’t have a favorite mug or this will be hard. You will need to buy her a new coffee mug and it should have the words ‘ Will You Marry Me?’ at the bottom of it. As long as she drinks up every last bit of coffee she will see the message staring her in the face. Just don’t slip the ring into the coffee because it’s not the same when you don’t have champagne.

Inside restaurant menu

We’ve already mentioned the champagne trick and it gets used a lot when a guy wants to propose to his girlfriend in a restaurant. There are two big problems with this kind of proposal. It’s been done to death so your girlfriend won’t find it special, plus you will have to wait until you’re half way through the night before you order the champagne. It’s much better to speak to the restaurant beforehand because you can ask them to give her a menu with your message right at the start of the night.

A line in the sand

Another old favorite is to take your girlfriend to the beach so you can sit on the sand and watch the waves crashing into the shore. You then turn around and ask her to marry you. It was sweet 10 years ago, but now it’s just boring and you need to move up to the next level. Wake up in the middle of the night and run down to the beach so you can write your message in the sand. Now take your girlfriend for a walk early in the morning and let her stumble across your creation before pulling your diamond wedding ring out.
