Is there even a specific day that is better than another to ask the question? Like the holy grail of proposal dates? We\u00a0assigned our top romantics to try and find out for you!<\/p>\n<p>Our team came across a company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chillisauce.co.uk\/\">ChilliSauce<\/a>\u00a0who organise events such as stags do&#8217;s, hen do&#8217;s, corporate days out and activity weekends.

Its easy to see why this is such a popular season I mean who doesn&#8217;t like Christmas? (There is a few scrooges out there) the spirit of Christmas combined with the celebrations of new year adds up to the perfect equation for getting down on one knee. If you are looking for an engagement ring then look no further <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/\">First Class Watches<\/a> have a stunning range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/certified-engagement-rings-c-1144\/\">Certified Diamond Engagement Rings <\/a>which are sizes to fit after you order.<\/p>\n<h2>When he\/she thinks it\u2019s the best time?<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously this may be the topic of a few &#8216;heated discussions&#8217; \u00a0as many couples seem to have lets say &#8216;varied&#8217; opinions on when is the best time to propose but the graph below has some very interesting results on the best time your partner might think is the best time to propose.

Some of the office suggestions were; A romantic evening meal with flowers, strolling down a beach, surprise intervention with friends and even a scavenger hunt. \u00a0There use to be a TV show called Mobbed that use to help men and women propose to their significant other I managed to find a video of one below for you:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Best Wedding Proposal Ever !!

Or is it the mans job? \u00a0Now we&#8217;re living in the 21st century and gender equality is getting better and better it is becoming much more popular for the woman to ask the man. Maybe its a combination of this and that the man is taking too long so the woman takes matters into her own hands? We are not sure but we can see an obvious growth of proposals happening this way.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WOMAN PROPOSING EXPERIMENT\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-SBkRd-Y1-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The best way to refuse a proposal?<\/h2>\n<p>This is a hard one as it depends on the situation.
