When Oral Roberts proposed to Evelyn in 1958, these were his words:
“My huge, happy, hilarious heart is throbbing, tumultuously, tremendously, triumphantly with a lingering, lasting, long lived loved for you. As i gave into your bewildering, beauterous, beaming eye, I am literally, lonesomely lost in a dazzling, daring, delightful dream in which your fair, felicitous, fanciful face is ever present like a colossal, comprehensive, constellation. Will you be my sweet, smiling, soulful, satisfied spouse?”
To which Evelyn replied: “Listen Oral, If you are trying to propose to me, do it in English Language”!!!
Many guys have lost the opportunity of getting married to the ladies they love because they dont know how to go about it
These tips will help you if you follow them!!!
- Don’t speak grammar like Oral Roberts so that the girl will not need to go home and check her dictionary to know what you really mean!!! Just be yoursef and present your proposal in a very simple way!!! You dont need grammar even if you are a professor of English!!!
- Never make a proposal to anyone that you are not friendly with at all. At least establish a rapport and some level of friendship before breaking the news!
- Don’t use religious terminologies such as “The Lord said you are my wife” or Without me in your life, you can not fulfill destiny” or “I had a dream…..” etc.
The lady does not just want to know “God said”, she wants to be sure you love her and not that God is just forcing you to marry her. By all means try to avoid “God said”……when you are proposing.
Make it plain and in simple language…….just tell her you love her and leave her to discover whether it was the Lord or not!
- Don’t pressurize a lady if she tells you that she needs time to give you an answer. Give her a breathing space. She may not be playing “hard to get”, In most cases its a genuine and sincere request.
