Introverts share a common aversion to attracting attention during a public outing. As an introvert, it can be tough to meet someone. It is in your nature to want to stay at home, after all! So, of course, the last thing you want when you fall in love is to plan a huge, loud, and unmissable proposal.
Violin players accompanying you as you kneel in front of your loved one in the middle of a crowded restaurant? Nope. When it comes to romance, introverts like to keep things simple, intimate, and quiet. They may burn with passion inside, but they will not let the flames show on the outside. Does it mean you can’t make your partner’s heart flutter when you propose? Absolutely not. Here are some ideas to blow your darling away as you proposed quietly and romantically at home.
Get the ring right
The number rule of a successful proposal is to know your partner’s tastes, preferences, and size when it comes to the engagement ring. Choosing the right ring for your budget and their style is going to make a big difference. Therefore, you may want to invest some time in researching diamonds and other rocks. Not all engagement rings have a diamond. It entirely depends on preferences. If your partner has an affinity with other gemstones, such as their month of birthstone, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a non-diamond ring.
Another important rule about engagement rings: Not everyone loves rings. Your partner may not be able to wear a ring in their professional career, for instance. So why not consider cute alternatives, such as an engagement necklace instead? Non-jewelry wearers may fall head over heels in love with engagement tattoos. You could get a design inked and show it to them during the proposal.
A celebratory cocktail
When you choose to propose at home, you need to be in charge of the table, including food, if you do it during dinner, and drinks. Regardless of when you choose to propose, a celebratory cocktail is a must-have if your loved one accepts your proposal. So, why not learn a few recipes to create beautiful and Instag-friendly drinks, such as the Bleu 75, a bubbly blue beverage mixing Gin, syrup, and Luc BelaireBleu. Unsure where to buy belairebleu? You can find it in trustworthy online shops. Might we also recommend some glass decorating tips for a striking effect? You can use blue curacao and granulated sugar to ice the glass, for example. It’s the best way to show your sweetheart that you will always prepare the best for them, even if you are at home.
Prepare your speech
As an introvert, you might get nervous when it’s your time to speak and trip over your words. No proposal needs to be long and complex. Sometimes, the simplest words are those that have the biggest effects. So, if you are worried about not knowing how to voice your feelings, it could be helpful to prepare a simple script and practice beforehand! Keep it sweet, short, and true to yourself!
Nobody needs a grandiose event to propose. Popping the question doesn’t have to be a public event for others to watch. You can keep things intimate and private at home by simply telling your loved one how much they mean to you. Introverts don’t need any witness to love with their whole souls. And when they do, they are willing to give their heart to one person for a lifetime.
Good luck with your proposal!
Thanks for reading and y’all stay dandy.
