Alright, let’s chat for a moment, shall we? You are sitting on your computer or scrolling through your phone asking what are the best days to get engaged? The fact that you are asking this question means that one, you are thinking about popping the question or two, you think your boyfriend is going to pop the question. Regardless of the reason why you are sitting by this happy screen right now just means I got some days that you need to keep an eye out for. Let’s dig in!
Holidays
You should not be shocked that the top 6 most popular days to get engaged is on holidays. These are the typical go-to days. It can also be the most predictable day to pop the questions… sorry but not sorry. You are giving gifts out and bam you open one with a ring. Aww.
Here is what is happening before that, you are already thinking this may happen today so you are extra interested in what he is getting you. Am I right? But what happens when you don’t get a ring on a holiday, it dampens your spirit a bit and may just ruin the mood of things. However, it is another way to opting out of getting a second gift.
If these are the days you are interested in popping the question or think he might be popping the question, you are looking at Christmas Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Fourth of July (Independence Day). To make things more interesting you can aim for two Saturdays before Christmas Eve, the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend or the Saturday before Valentine’s Day.
Anniversaries
Why not pop the question on your anniversary? If you have been together for a certain amount of years then you must have a date for that or just a special time when you two kiss or when you both said: “I love you”. Maybe you know the date when you first fell in love.
Choose the anniversary of you two being together and get down on one knee. If this is the day you think he might pop the question, the good news is that unlike holidays it may be less predictable but it will be something you both share together on your own and not around everyone else.
Find the Right Moment
You don’t have to choose a holiday or an anniversary but you should find the right moment. Remember, you want to be able to go with the flow after all life is a rollercoaster. You can never truly predict what would happen in your life but life happens anyway. Be prepared.
One thing you do not want to do is rush the proposal. It will suck the joy out of the occasion. It doesn’t have to be so perfect that you were able to make the sunset at a different time. The point is to wait until the moment really feels right.

Any Day
The best time or the best days to get engaged depends on your relationship. Sometimes we get into our heads about when is it the best time to get engaged. I believe you will know when you know, just like you will know the best way you want to pop the question.
Look to your relationship and this wonderful person you are going to propose to as guidance. My advice for the ladies is to wait and see what happens. Try not to think that every second he is going to propose, it will drive you nuts. So don’t think about it and wait. I know that it is harder said than done but I know you can do it.

Don’t overexcite yourself on the possibility that he may pop the question today or tomorrow or any day. Allow yourself to bask in the moment because any day that is chosen is automatically going to be one of the best days to get engaged.
