How To Propose To A Man And Make Sure His Answer Is A Yes.

Figure out if you're ready for this next step.
Marriage is a big step and you want to be sure that you're taking that step for the right reasons, because you've found someone that you honestly want to spend the rest of your life with, not because all your friends are getting married and you think you need to, as well.
If you're looking to get married because you're trying to 'save' the relationship or because you're scared of being alone, those are not reasons to get married. In fact, it's probably a good idea to let the relationship go.
However, if you know for certain that marriage to this guy is what you want, then it's time to go for it and put your energy into making it happen.
So, firstly
Talk about marriage and commitment with your guy.
You should discuss about marriage or what are his views about getting married and having a family,
Pay attention to how he talks about the future and what he says. If he talks about "we" and "us" in future endeavors, if the two of you live together, own a pet together, have moved somewhere together, he is pretty committed to you.
This does not necessarily mean that he is ready for marriage, or even wants marriage, so that is something the two of you should discuss.
You can even find a way to talk about relationships in general, or bring up your concerns up in a potential, distant future type of way. For example:
Mentioning that one of your friend is getting married and she proposed her husband,and asking him questions like "what do you think did she do the right thing? or was that a stupid move?"

Now the question is how to plan a proposal?
keep these things in mind
1) Make the proposal about him.
2) Use his hobbies.
3) Pop the question privately.
4) Keep it simple
5) Give him a symbolic gift.

When you're planning to propose to a guy you want to make sure that the proposal is about him and what he loves. If you wanted a big proposal in a fancy restaurant in front of everyone, that doesn't mean he would want that. You know your guy best, so make sure you use that knowledge.
Again, when you're plotting how to ask him, think about his hobbies and interests and use those as a way to make the proposal special. Not only does this show that he's important to you, you're also showing that you pay attention to his interests and that you support them.
For example:
If he is a food lover you may use food to make a fun marriage proposal.
There are ways to have personalized fortune cookies made. You could have one made that says 'Will you marry me?' and make sure it gets mixed in when you get take-out or if you make some lovely Chinese food
Hide a note and symbolic engagement gift (not necessarily a ring) give them to him. Again, make sure he doesn't eat the note or the gift by mistake.
If you and your guy are super into extreme sports, it's a great way to pop the question. You'll probably need the assistance of your friends or instructors, so make sure they don't give away the game beforehand!
Go sky diving with your guy and have your friends spread out a sign below the two of you that asks him to marry you.
Go scuba diving and have a waterproof sign already planted down on the ocean floor for your guy to find with you as you're swimming around down there together.

POINTS TO NOTE:
For something like a marriage proposal, you want to have enough of it planned that you can follow the plan even when you're nervous (because you will be nervous, but that's expected!). especially if you're making it a big deal, you want to have all the components figured out.
You'll need to pick a specific place to pop the question, preferably somewhere that has meaning to both of you. It could be where you went on your first date, or it could be the first place you kissed. Picking a place that has meaning to you both works two ways, one, it's already special to you both and two, it provides a great segue into your proposal!
Timing is everything. It's better to pick a time when he's relaxed and receptive to making or thinking about making a big change. It's less good to do it when he's stressed about work or school, or distracted by something else.
You'll want to make sure that the mood is right for what you're about to do. It could be something as simple as lighting a few candles, or pouring out some nice champagne, or you could have a whole lavish dinner set-up. You'll need to consider what is important to the two of you.
In every rom-com ever it seems, there's a scene where one person proposes to another and it's always in front of a bunch of people, but, especially for a guy, it's best to do this part in private
Last but not the least keep your message simple and to the point.
