It is the 21st century and women are as vocal as guys about their feelings. Though proposing has always been a man's job, it is not at all wrong for a woman to take the lead.

This shall ease your tension and solve the dilemma of how to propose to a guy. So read on about some tried and tested ways of proposing a guy.

• Guys can be highly emotional and tend to feel vulnerable in overwhelming emotional situations. So make sure you both are in a place that is not too crowded. The idea of proposing your guy in the middle of a game is not very ideal!
• Make it memorable. A guy loves to be wooed as much as girls do. So propose in the most enjoyable way making the whole moment memorable. Propose in a place that means a lot to him. Maybe a neighborhood park where he grew up chasing squirrels, or the place where you went for your first date, all are special to him and can be made memorable by proposing him there.
• Not only girls, even guys love to receive flowers. So this Valentine's Day, send him a big bouquet of roses and card in which it is written," Will you marry me?"

• Make the proposal utterly romantic. Invite him to a bar that is not too crowded or take a corner seat. Slip on that sexy black dress, let down your curls and make sure you look stunning. Order a nice drink and propose him while he takes that last sip. Just make sure he doesn't choke on it!

• Record a personal home video of the moments you spent together. You can also include nicknames you use for each other. Get your friends to re-enact these moments. In the end, the video shows you, proposing your love to your cherished one. Get it delivered to your beloved through a friend along with a bouquet of roses. It sure to win your beloved's heart and there is no way one can reject such a cute proposal.
• Another great idea for a proposal is to express your love on the big screen. Make a plan for a movie and pre-plan with the manager of the theater to have your proposal aired on the screen just before the movie begins. The always-energetic crowd will be your confidence booster and is sure to get a positive reply for your proposal.
• Another great idea to propose is on your beloved's birthday. It will make that day so special that it will be etched in his/her memory forever. You can take him/her for dinner and propose when it is just the two of you, or you can do it in front of his/her family and friends.
• A unique idea is to gift your beloved a jigsaw puzzle. Make sure you take out one piece from the puzzle beforehand. Ask him/her to solve the puzzle. When he/she realizes one piece is missing, take that piece out from your pocket in which it is written, "Marry me because you complete me". It is a beautiful way to show your beloved how much he/she means to you.
• Proposing while taking a walk in a romantic atmosphere like by the sea-shore, a secluded park or near a historical monument is also a good idea. It is simple, unexpected and is sure to win over your love. Make sure the timing is either early morning or late evening, around twilight. It adds to the romance.
• Gift him/her a small book in which "Will you marry me" is written in different languages. The english version can be at the end of the book. Another idea is to eliminate the page in which the english version is written. When they ask you what it means, propose!
• The last and the best way to propose is the traditional way. Go down on one knee, hold a single red rose on which the ring is tied with a ribbon and pop the question. Though old, this way is a sure winner and works every time.
