I'm on holidays in 2 days !!!

[pacmania_2001]

Can't remember, I think their is.

There are a whole bunch of clubs like Shooters and the Bourbon Bar all in one building and if I recall correctly its in with them.

[SIRCOOKS]

thats just mean, atleats make her walk around nude with you....maybe you may catch another chicks eye and have a threesome

[jimmalenko]

WTF that's not vacation, that's hanging out with her in a different location that's just a waste of money, you can bang her at home...hell if you are wanting to do it on the beach, then just go buy some sand for goodness sake.

There is actually a motive behind going up there ...

I'm planning to join all the sad fuckers here and propose to her. If I did this in my hometown I wouldn't get the chance to get some hotel pool or spa sex to celebrate

And if there is no way around it, and you HAVE to take your GF, then take one of her friend's too....that way your dumbass doesn't have to go shopping with her...and while she's shopping you can do some split tail hunting

Given what I've just said, it's kinda important that she be there

I'm lucky that we're both individual and don't have to be in each other's pockets all day long. If she wants to go shopping, I go to the casino. It works pretty well


I am learning, master :

[SIRCOOKS]

thats cool guy....enjoy your stay, i still said you should have come down here to the bahamas

[pacmania_2001]

Good luck with the proposal.

Got an idea on how you are going to do it? Sunset on the beach?

Ta


I'm tossing up a couple of options ATM...

We're planning to have a couple of days just relaxing on the beach while the theme parks are inundated with school kids, so I'm thinking a nice relaxing day, go out for tea, walk home along the beach and see what happens from then on. I figure that gives me at least three different venues, all with their pros and cons. I'm leaning towards the walk home along the beach, because it's easier/quicker to consumate the engagement

[pacmania_2001]

You could always do it at Seaworld.

I remember once when I was there watching the dolphin show when it came time to pick the audience member they choose the girl who was going to be proposed to. Then once the show was halfway through the guy came in on the rubber ducky with the dolphins on either side.

Fair dinkum ?

For a minute there I thought you were trying to tell me my gf was a whale ...

I reckon you'd probably have to know someone for that sort of thing. I'll definitely keep it in mind though.

[pacmania_2001]

#2 option.

Take her on a hot air ballon over the coast and the Hinterlands and propose then.

Ring up Seaworld and ask to talk to one of their managers. They love the chance to do something like that for the publicity.

I'm pretty sure they'd be happy to oblige.

Holy shit, you done this before ?

[CoasterCreator]

good luck and have fun..we will be waiting for you here and we will ask Thayne to hook up those girls for the Bachleor party :P

[NamPla]

"Every day should be a holiday..."

[pacmania_2001]

Pacmania "The Romance Moderator".

Haven't found the right girl yet to propose to, when the time comes though shes going to be damn impressed.

[SIRCOOKS]

heres another option, propose before you go, and have wild passionate hot wet sex everynight of the week whilst there

[jimmalenko]

I was thinking the exact same thing !


I've been planning the question since December last year when I booked this holiday for us. At the time I was living away from her during the week and commuting back home every weekend. Little did I know my work circumstances would change about 3 months ago and I would be offered a transfer back to my home town ! All this considered, I've had plenty of time to think about all the possible angles, including the one you never want to think about .... the word no. It would suck bigtime but I'm trying not to think about it.

Then when Thayne mentioned the bachelor party, I thought "Hey, I can have one of those!". I've got some pretty deviant mates, so it should be good

I like it

Propose on the plane and spend the best part of 3 weeks shagging her silly. Bugger the theme parks !

Nice 8)

[pacmania_2001]

Remember, the more public it is the more likely she is to say yes.

[SIRCOOKS]

so your saying privately, she gonna say no!

[pacmania_2001]

I'm saying that a girl doesn't want to break a guys heart if their is a whole crowd of people there cheering him on.

I'd say though that if you're upto the point in your relationship where you are going to propose to her then you'll probably have a good idea of the outcome.

[jimmalenko]

I'm pretty confident of the affirmative being given since she has been jokingly asking me for about 2 years - she is a traditionalist who believes that the man should ask the woman, so the ball's in my court and I reckon I'm a lay down mazair, but you can never be too cocky

[pacmania_2001]

Traditionalist ey?

Have you asked the parents for their permission?

[jimmalenko]

Traditionalist ey?

Not yet. I've got a bit of a conundrum there. Her dad has remarried, and her mum is practically married to another bloke. So technically, there are 4 people to ask. Couple that with the fact that they are all very proud parents/step-parents, and I don't like my chances of them keeping it under wraps for too long, so I'm thinking that a dash to the gents during dinner might be the best way to get the phone calls out of the way.

[pacmania_2001]

Sounds like a good idea to keep it under wraps to the last minute then.

[northcat_8]

Well jimmalenko since you are taking her up there to propose I have just 4 words for you....

RUN MOTHER ****** RUN


WTF is wrong with you?? Marriage are you ******* nuts?? Jesus...listen to me man...I know she's special, and I know you think "she's the one"...but dude...marriage makes her the ONLY legal one. Good Lord jimmalenko if god would have wanted man to only mate with one woman then it would only fit one woman...there wouldn't be 3 Billion possible mates out there...

As you are about ready to hit your knee and throw your life away...remember these words....men die before women because men have to live with women and if you live with one long enough you want to die too.

you were my hero, I was living my life vicariously through you and Thayne because I'm locked in the Grand ass idea of marriage and my idea of an exciting weekend is a ******* sale at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

It's a sad day jimmalenko, the RWA flag will be flown at half mass in rememberance of your life.


Just remember later on when she's no longer sunshine of the day and you get pissed off at her...you remember Northcat told you it was a bad idea and you wouldn't listen so you have no one else to blame but yourself.

So Long Jimmalenko...and good luck

[Capmaster]

Congrats Jimm. That proposal night will be one you'll always remember

Look, mate, you'll marry the bitch & a few weeks later you'll be perving at other sheilas in the street.

Don't fall for the ol' ball'n'chain trick, pal.

I've seen mates pussy-whipped by their bitches... It's ugly.

Monogamy? What a load of bogamy! :P

[jimmalenko]

In the back of my mind is a tale that has haunted my circle of mates for a few years now.

Jeremy and Tina were high school sweethearts and were approaching their 5 year anniversary. Jeremy had bought an engagement ring and was planning to propose on their anniversary, only to be shot down 5 days beforehand with the news that Tina had feelings for Jeremy's best mate of 19 years, Adrian, and wanted to split up. Ever since then we have had to make choices as to who to invite to 21sts, weddings, parties, etc etc. It has really been an uncomfortable time for the friends as well as Jeremy. Couple that with the news that Adrian and Tina got engaged about 6 months ago, and many people are pondering the implications of attending the wedding.

I am keeping this in mind, but with only 4 days to go until I fly out, I'm hoping this doesn't happen to me.

[pacmania_2001]

Reminds me of my friend. He had been seeing this girl for about 2 years and decided it was time to pop the question and planned on doing it in September.

This was in July and I was flying down to met them and spend a week down there (Melbourne). The day before I got there they had broken it off. The day that I left they got back together and I believe he still wants to propose to her when they go on holidays later this year.

I don't see it going to well but anyway, its his life.

Thats just one bad story though. I've seen plenty of family and friends get married and are happy as ever so don't be dissuaded.

[jimmalenko]

Thanks to everyone for their (mostly) kind words and suggestions - much appreciated

Given I've announced this on a world stage, here's hoping I get the affirmative. Boy would my face be red
