Discovering the Valentines Ring Somewhere Unexpected

If you're generally not the romantic type, your honey will be suspicious if you suddenly want to go out for a fancy dinner or theater, even on Valentine's Day. Thus, put the ring someplace common in your house- this might be in the silverware drawer, in the butter dish, or tied to the neck of the first beer on the shelf with a note attached that says "will you marry me?". Try to be around when its discovered, so that you can drop to one knee to pop the question. An alternative to this casual approach is to bring in the local paper and nonchalantly ask, "Do you think we should announce our engagement in the paper?" When your soon-to-be fiance realizes what you've said, take the ring out of your pocket.
