What do women find romantic when being proposed to? Does the karat size of the ring really matter? And is there certain times in the season that are best to propose?

Unfortunately, there's no right answer for this quesiton, because all women are different. To my, the Carat size doesn't matter. My actual taste in what I want for an engagement ring is a big more unique than a big diamond (I prefer a 3 stone ring with a sapphire in the middle). As far as the time of year, personally... I don't like the ideas of proposing on birthdays or holidays (especially valentines day, ICK!) or in front of crowds but I know plenty of women who swoon over the ideas.

Basically, you have to find out what YOUR girls prefers. and if you have no clue, ask her friends, because if she's thought about it... she's talked about it!  

YOu sould think about her and the kind of girl she is. I am a girl who would want my family around and close friends. but some girls want it to be just you are her, others want a big production. It just depends. Karat size doesn't matter to most girls. You just want something, your future wife will want to wear for hopefully the rest of her life. Good luck!!
