    Default How did you propose to your japanese girlfriend?

    How did you propose to your japanese girlfriend?

    Did you took her out for dinner first? Bushwalk? A walk at the beach? or did you just toss her the ring and said it was the down payment on her for making you breakfast for the next 50 years?

    And for the ladies: How did your japanese husband propose to you?

    Share your stories.

    On bended knee in front of wife's workmates.

    What was I thinking.

    We don't remember. We were drunk as skunks.

    Strangest thing. The next morning, we both remembered deciding to get married and fixing a wedding date, but we have no memory of the details--who asked who, or how it all went down.

    So, I recommend getting sh*tfaced, proposing, and seeing if you remember it the next morning.

    I lovingly removed the duct-tape from her mouth.

    I didn't propose. My wife did. She said " Mom wants to know when we're getting married". Being a wuss, I told her anytime would be OK. And that's how it happened

    I think Genkii should find himself an offline girlfriend before he starts worrying about how he's going to propose to one.
    The only thing in Japan that is harder than being a foreigner in Japan, is being Japanese in Japan.

    Yes, but she paid.

    Her proposal was "It's OK to blow in me". It was actually 中に出していいよ。I remember it like it was October 14th, 2003. Don't want to get too nostalgic here on GP. Real romance never gets old, does it?

    They were in effect, final dying words, not her's mind you, mine.

    You romantic

    Had a kid with one woman, asked a girlfriend of 8 years to marry me, then went off to Vegas drunk with a 40 year old. She had the exact same proposal, naka dashite ii yo, to which I replied sure but can you cover the city marriage fees as I'm a little short. Our honeymoon was spent driving there and back staying in the cheapest roach infested motels you could never imagine staying in, and needless to say I got pretty good at drunken roach hunting. I remember it like it was just last October 2011.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed she's infertile as I've had some bad expierences in the past with twenty year old girls. Only time will tell. Plus she got a ton of loving Valentines from guy friends (some married even) this February, so at least I wouldn't have to worry about her being lonely. She truely is enchanting...

    She was working in Australia for a Japanese company. Mainly Australian employees with some Japanese ones. They thought it was a real hoot to see me pop the question like that.

    Because by then you're doing her a favor, one, she will be overwhelmed by it, and two, you're a gaijin, she wants to show you off :P

    Shouldn't proposing properly, on your knee like a man, or at least just proposing, count as a much higher standard of manliness than standing urination?

    You manly man!...err...yeah, no.

    Gramps, you're so...precious. Loser.

    I like the bended knee thing.

    It reminds me of the way that homeless people beg for money. Nothing turns a woman on quite like begging.
    ozzijp will quote this and tease it because he's got nothing else to do.

    Asking a woman to marry you IS begging - there is always the chance she will say no. Trouble is, you usually have to seal the deal with a big fat diamond ring before she will say yes.

    the real answer is because he knew she would have to say yes in front of all of those people. if she said no, she would look like a total b-tch. sometimes peer pressure can be your friend.

    What is it with you and this belief in your mind that every woman on the planet is obsessed with money and material things?

    Is convincing yourself of this (as opposed to admitting any failures on your part) how you soothe your wounded soul?

    Inquisitively,

    Nope, no diamond ring is required.

    If it had been, I wouldn't be here now.
    I am financially motivated to whore myself out.

    I agree. I never bought my wife a diamond ring. In fact, I very clearly told her that if we got married, she should never expect to be anything but poor (I was quite poor at the time). And she still married me.

    If you expect all women to be money grubbing, then all you will see is money-grubbing women.

    There's a long line between "struggling to" and "can't."
    So I guess you've just insulted the vast majority of people on this forum, because many long-time resident foreigners are indeed struggling right now.
    You think it's easy to take care of a family in foreign country?
    I don't care who you are, you have to have balls to even consider doing that.
    and yet many are successful.
    More than you at this point I might add.

    You sound very brave and comfortable in your Chocolate Tower.

    He hasn't time to make a chocolate tower nor money, not when he's a reject without a degree too busy packing fudge with his EDL buddies.

    You attack me since day 1 on every single post I make here and now you play the victim. Funny.

    I know it's not easy. Never said life in Japan is easy. You're annoying me too much and I have enough of it.

    Now please get a job.

    Just STFU you fake.

    Life in Japan is indeed not easy when you're not in it. Stay at home with Geert and your lovely Europe Defense League crew, you blithering bigot.

    I proposed over pizza as I recall - it, the pizza, came out of a cave in a wall, not a box. Fourth glass of wine, semi-romantic setting, cheese everywhere...It's funny to think that two glasses of Burgundy earlier I had been quite on the verge of quitting with her, starting afresh. Put it off though lest her reaction interfere with my enjoyment of the pie.

    But I changed my mind mid-meal and opted to propose instead. It was a less-than-perfect relationship, I knew that, my appetite for OL meringue pie made sure of that, but it also happened to be the most 'meaningful' one I'd ever had - this sobering conclusion I reached on refill #3.

    Happens to almost everyone I think. After a few f*cks and beach holidays you either decide to abort the relationship or let it grow. In our case we grew. And then try as you might you reach a point where you just can't quit it - a baby would be easier to abort. That's why I proposed.

    Now we have a beautiful boy, eat pizza from the box.

    Agree with EA. If KB already think that all women race are shallow, money minded and selfless, then he's probably not in a healthy emotional state. He gave women a certain "label", and this label he put on women will be reflected on the way he acted and treated them. He probably didn't realize it, but if he continues giving label, he will freak out in every relationship he has. Women can sense this label thing, and that my friend, can be a deal breaker..

    Lol on the "someone's got an obsession" line. It's entertaining hahahaha
