I was thinking of asking my girlfriend to marry me in a nice restaurant on Valentine's Day, but now I'm worried that is too boring. I still want to propose on that day but I'm looking for creative ideas on how I can make it more memorable

Is there anything memorable or unique that she has shared with you that is special to her?

When we were dating, my wife told me she really likes 1920s themed things. I wanted to propose on New Year’s Eve at the stroke of midnight. We threw a party for New Year’s Eve and we decorated it with 1920s decor and she didn’t realize she was decorating for the proposal, but when I got down on one knee, it was memorable since the moment had unique things special to her.

So, think about what’s special to her that she’s shared with you and it’ll be memorable. She’ll also appreciate that you were listening to her.

If you wanna do Valentine's Day then go ahead, but it's kinda cheesy and played out. There's not a day that holds significance in y'all's relationship?

If you want to do a restaurant there's one at the top of the tower in Hemisfair Park. Great views.

I’d do a short weekend trip over a restaurant.

Maybe do a weekend at the la cantera spa and resort. I think they have romance packages or ideas for planning a proposal with them.

I think private/intimate is always best unless she’s mentioned she likes public proposals

Tell your GFs parents or best friend and see how they think she’d feel. They’ll either confirm that she’d like that or give you other ideas. Don’t wait too long though, reservations fill up fast.

There’s a local vendor called the Swiss Chocolate shop. He makes amazing chocolates and little boxes of truffles. Reach out to him and see if he’ll put your ring in one of the box spots.
So old fashioned she wont expect it.

Thompson rooftop is nice too.

1. Take her to a rooftop bar, decorate the area where you are planning to propose and hire a photographer. Invite some friends or family to celebrate after proposing.
2. Take her on a helicopter ride and propose there - 15 min rides start at like $100
3. Propose during a wine tour in Fredericksburg or Wimberley
4. Plan a Valentine’s Day shoot as a “gift” and propose during the photo shoot

This is really such a cute idea. then you will always have those photos to look back on.

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon).

How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff
