2020.01.25 published

For those waiting for a proposal, are you ready for a response?!?

It might be just around the corner, such as your 2-year anniversary, a birthday, or the 10-year anniversary of your meeting.

For those of you who are excitedly wondering if a proposal might be coming soon.... During the moment you wait for his proposal, doesn't every day feel incredibly long, making you fantasize about various scenarios?

For example, you might wonder where he will propose, whether he has already bought an engagement ring, or whether the reason he came home late today was because he went to the jewelry store. You might even imagine what words he will say...

However, what’s important at the moment of the proposal is not just his behavior!!!

The words and gestures of your response—the side receiving the proposal—are also very important!

For men, marriage seems to carry a heavy weight, and a proposal is an action taken as a significant decision to "become the main support of the family" or "to protect the family."

(Even in this era of gender equality and dual-income households, many men still feel the need for such a decision.)

It is likely the role of women to respond in a way that celebrates that determination, making him think, "How cute! I want to be with her for a lifetime."♡

Let's prepare how to respond to a proposal!!!

For those waiting for a proposal, have you already decided how you will respond???

In this article, I will introduce you to ways to respond to a proposal that might make men think, "I want to protect her!"—like a cute character from a romantic manga.＊

① Nod while crying

Imagine this!

When asked to marry, you are so overwhelmed with joy and emotion that you can only nod without even being able to say "yes" while crying...!!!

It’s like a scene from a romantic manga! Men around the world hold dreams about women. Therefore, occasionally showing them a girl like those in manga is important! From a man's perspective, there’s no one cuter than this♡

② Hug him and respond in his ear

After being asked to marry, the way to respond is to hug him and then whisper "yes" in his ear.

No man would dislike being cutely hugged, and psychology suggests that whispering in his ear can create a thrilling memory!

This approach might be used in situations other than proposals! If something happy is proposed to you, try hugging tightly and saying "thank you" or "I'm so happy!"

He is likely to think, "How cute! I'm glad I did this."♡

③ Humble with "If you'll have me"

In response to "Will you marry me?" saying "Of course!" or "Yes!" is fine, but a slightly humble and modest response of "Yes. If you'll have me." conveys a lovely and traditional demeanor while taking a step back to lift up the man.

This humility of "If you'll have me..." might make him feel strongly in return, "No, no! I want to marry you!"

④ With the best smile, say “Yes!”

The fourth way to respond that will make him think, “How cute!” is to give a big, happy smile to show that you are feeling the utmost happiness and respond cutely with "Yes!"

Practice imagining the smile of a shoujo manga heroine who looks like she's half-crying...!

⑤ "Please let me be your bride!" – Reverse proposal

A way to respond that will surely surprise and leave an unforgettable moment of proposal is to turn the tables and propose back after he asks!

Him: "Will you marry me?"

You: "Yes. Please let me be your bride!" ♡

This exchange is full of freshness and adorableness! Your straightforward desire to become his bride will surely come through.＊

Let's prepare for how to respond when you're proposed to＊

Recently, when asking men and women about marriage, about half of them respond that they were "proposed to."

The reality is that about half of people decide to marry and register without even having a proposal from their partner during their relationship.

That’s why, proposals can happen at any time! It is a fact that grooms increasingly propose publicly during the ceremony or at the time of registration, expressing gratitude and love by saying, "I’m happy to be marrying you. Please always be with me."＊

Therefore, the situation to respond to a proposal could come to anyone at any time!

If you think, "We've been together for years, so it's fine to just go with the flow... They probably won’t feel excited anymore," you might miss out!

To create a wonderful memory not only for yourself but also for him, think of a cute, unique way to respond to the proposal!♩
