Im thinking of asking my girlfriend to go on a vacation with me for a few weeks or a month to Hawaii, but i was wondering how she would feel about it. How would you feel if your boyfriend of 3 and 1/2 years asked you to go to Hawaii with him?

Are you fucking kidding me? How could anyone think that was anything other than awesome?

Dude could be plotting my demise in an elaborate plot.

True. But I would totally risk it.

I would love it if my SO took me on a surprise trip somewhere... anywhere really. Even if it's just to the lake on the outskirts of town that you can get into for free. Hawaii would kick ass. But he hates sand. And we're really broke. Someday....

Personally I don't know if I would be comfortable with that, but I'm not a big fan of getting gifts either. It always makes me feel awkward like I now owe them something big. I'm probably in the minority though.

edit* Thinking about it though, after being together that long it'd probably be different, especially if they have lived together.

Yuck. Who in their right mind would want to go on a exciting romantic vacation with their long term significant other? Sounds awful.

Dude...book the fuck out of that trip and enjoy.

Seriously? I'd start planning outfits that I'd wear for when you propose to me. That's what I think. But hey, that's just me.

not to mention all of the bedroom outfits for after the proposal

Oh oh oh ahmadinejad!

I'd forgotten all about that song until now, it's still as bad as I first thought it was :)

And your post mirrors my thoughts pretty closely. I don't see why someone would need input on this.

I don't know you or her, but that might be the perfect place to present a ring. Just sayin'.

[–]Living4all 14 points15 points ago

That's exactly what i was thinking, but what if its too obvious that proposing is my master plan?

[–]necrophelia 22 points23 points ago

For the love of all that is holy, propose at the end. You don't want to be stuck there awkwardly for two weeks if she says no.

[–]UmbrellaExecutive 0 points1 point ago

And ruin the vacation for himself wondering the whole time if she's going to say yes or no? Fuck that shit.

OP should pop the question right before the vacation and then consider getting married in Hawaii if she says yes.

[–]zeelittlemermaid 1 point2 points ago

I agree with popping it before hand. If she says yes, then go "GREAT! Let's celebrate our love~ in Hawaii." I think I would die if an SO did that for me.

[–]ignatia_amara 6 points7 points ago

If you're 100% sure she'll say yes, you could always propose before you go, and then Hawaii will be like a sexy, celebratory, pre-honeymoon honeymoon.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

She'd know, but she'd either keep it to herself due to the chance of being wrong, or tell her friends that she think you may ask while on vacation.

[–]LegoForte 2 points3 points ago

Okay, this is based on no actual information at all, and IANAW. But, I strongly suspect that your SO, like most people, wouldn't actually want to actually be surprised by a marriage proposal. It's an incredibly big deal and not the kind of thing I would want to answer on the spot without a chance to think it over beforehand. That doesn't, however, mean that she doesn't want to be "surprised". She's not stupid; she knows what's coming, but if you keep up a pretense anyway, then you can totally rock that surprise proposal fantasy.

[–]weareallfromearth 1 point2 points ago

It's ok if she guesses that something of that nature is afoot. You've discussed marriage before and are reasonably certain she'd say yes, right?

[–]Living4all 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Correct.

[–]RobotHeather 6 points7 points ago

Nothing wrong with having her suspect that you'll be proposing. She still won't know what the magic moment will be like and honestly, having a bit of a tip off gives some well needed time to contemplate the impending matrimony.

[–]NotSoFatThrowAway 9 points10 points ago

Even though I'm a guy and not your GF, I'm getting wet just thinking about going with you.

:D

Dude. Unless you're sharpening your killin' knife while you're asking, I'm pretty sure she's going to think it's the best thing ever.

[–]delfinachica78 1 point2 points ago

Freaking psyched. Would LOVE to go to Hawaii, especially with the man I loved. :)

At 3.5 years, go for it. Seriously. I wish I could get my boyfriend of 2.5 years to go to Hawaii with me...

[–]WarmHeart 0 points1 point ago

3 and 1/2, time for a proposal I say!

[–]yakri 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why is this even a question? Just ask her already.

And then ask yourself why you need reddit to tell you this.

[–]VaginaWarrior 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes please!

[–]ManBearTree 0 points1 point ago

And bring your "I never thought you were going to propose!" face.
