How She Wants You to Propose Based on Her Personality

Is she telling you exactly how to propose without you even realizing it? The answer: More than likely! And we’ll reveal everything she wants you to know to make sure you get it right.

It’s no secret that planning the perfect proposal can feel intimidating. You want it to be personal, unforgettable and stress free.

But here’s a fun secret: your girlfriend’s (or boyfriend’s) personality can actually give you clues into how they want you to pop the question.

And before you click away, just know it goes a whole lot deeper than: Disney Lover = fairytale style proposal.

Understanding her character can help you plan a proposal that feels thoughtful, memorable, uniquely hers, and more importantly, timed perfectly.

How To Know If She Wants You To Propose

Before we even get into how she wants you to propose, you need to know for absolute certain that she is ready for you to propose.

Some women may drop not-so-subtle hints by sending you photos of engagement rings or DMing you every single proposal video she comes across. Others might never say a word! So how can you know for sure?

My best advice to anyone looking to propose in the near future is to have “the talk”.

Talk about future plans, marital plans, plans that involve ‘tying the knot’ first before getting to a certain stage. And when you’re having this talk, pay attention to how your partner reacts.

If they seem enthusiastic or willing to continue talk about next steps in your relationship, I think it’s safe to say that there’s a clear sign she’s ready for you to get down on one knee.

PRO TIP: Don’t propose too soon after having “the talk”. They’ll know it’s coming more often than not. So if you want to keep the element of a surprise proposal, wait a while and change the subject so they aren’t continuously looking over your shoulder.

What Her Personality Can Tell You About Proposing

Regardless of what the latest ‘women guru podcast’ says… no two women are alike.

Their personalities, their character, their sense of humor are all different. But good news for you! All of these things can give you direct insight into what she’s looking for in a proposal. Especially when you know you’ve found the one.

Most women have been dreaming about how they would be proposed to since their early teen years, so it’d be best not to keep it up to chance.

Now is the time to start really paying attention to all of the little details about her. How she talks to other people, if she talks to other people, how often she talks to her friends, what she talks about most, etc.

Let’s get into some examples of different personality types and what that means for your proposal:

Loud, Outgoing, Social Butterfly

A women with this personality type tells you that your proposal needs to be just as captivating as she is. When you propose to her, it needs to be in a crowd of people, declaring your love in public for all to see.

Playful, Touchy, Sentimental

This person wants to be completely thrown off by their proposal. You should expect to propose in the most unsuspecting way possible to really bring the happy tears.

Artistic, Creative, Expressive

Originality will be your best friend here. Even if you want to recreate a proposal moment you saw online, it’d be best to put your own spin on it. Make it yours. And make it deeply personalized to them.

Spontaneous, Adventurous, Thrill-Seeking

A custom proposal will suit this personality type best. They obviously like travel and adventure. They want to go some place they’ve never been or do something they’ve never done before you pop the question.

Detail-Oriented, Type A, Perfectionist

If you haven’t learned by now, she notices everything. So if you’re wondering how to propose to a Type A personality type, I highly recommend making sure it’s a surprise and not skipping any little details. At this point you should probably work this a marriage proposal planner so she won’t suspect a thing!

How To Propose To an Introvert

You probably already know that it needs to be a private moment, but there are things you can do to make the proposal feel special and unique to them. Personalization says you pay attention. Outfit Coordination says you put a lot of thought into it. Public space, private environment can also win you big brownie points.

Ambitious, Driven, Confident

Try and make this person feel like royalty! A grand gesture that not only tells them, but shows them that you love them in the most meaningful way. You may even want to make your proposal a bit dramatic to really seal the deal.

Hopeless Romantic, Dreamer

Think candlelight, flowers, photos (lots of photos). The best way to propose to this person is to make them feel like they’re in a dream state. They want a “pinch me” moment for sure.
