I am getting engaged within the next 3 weeks, I haven't decided when I should do it or how I should do it. I have two ways in my mind that I can propose to my girlfriend, the first one is to propose to her on our 6th month anniversary as we are going to a nice restaurant that night to celebrate six months of being together, the restauarant would be a nice place to propose, a more traditional (and boring) way of proposing, then again I'm not exactly a traditional and boring guy. So my other way of proposing was to do it at the anime convention we are going to, do it at the karaoke which is being held there, you know, change the words of a song so that it comes out as 'will you marry me' I just don't know what way I should propose, I think that if I did it at the convention that it would make our first anime convention much more memorable, either way I know that my girlfriend will be very pleased but I'm unsure of the best way, any thoughts?

I'd say, Bake the ring into a cake, and then when she eats the cake, and the ring, you can propose to her when they pump it out of her stomach! Oh so romantic. Alternatively, you could propose to her in front of a huge convention of anime nerds, that's certain to tug on her romantic girly heartstrings. And do it in song as well!
Think about it though, what happens if someone bumps into her the moment you say "Victoriaaaaaaaaaa, will you...marry-me-e-e-e?", and she doesn't hear? WHAT THEN EH? Good luck anyway.
Personally I'd say that it takes a lot more than 6 months to truly get to know anyone, but I'm not you, so best of luck.

Well I've known three sets of couples that got engaged when they they 16/17/18 and now they've all broken up.
Me and my partner are going to be getting a joint account, we have just decided on it after 6 years. I think we maybe keeping our own accounts for just general savings.
You will have to let us know..what happens.

Good point - I never thought of that :-)
We were going to get a joint account, but we're putting a hold on it since we lost the opportunity to buy the Flat we wanted because of Northern Rock not taking their finger out.
As soon as we're back into house-buying mode, we'll be going for a joint account :D

I'd say do get a joint account if you are splitting living costs 50 / 50 but also keep sole accounts. Work out what the living costs are per week and both transfer the amount into the joint account and pay all bills from there. That way you keep your own money for little bits and they cannot start bitching about what you spend your money on.
Oh and congrats. I hope it goes well for you. I have friends who got engaged when she was 18 and everything is very good in their relationship. It is not about age but about maturity and confidence. If, down the line, it goes pearshaped you just have to shrug and chalk it up to experience.
On the subject of where to propose. It is no good asking a lot of strangers who don't know either of you. If I'd been proposed to in such a public way I would have said no (but yes later in private) so basically it is down to how you think she would like you to propose.

yep, defenetly!
If your not willing to give things ago and just wonder what if. Your always going to wondering and never going anywhere. If it fails it fails but you gave it the chance.
Many people are like oh i am so to young to do that, to old to do that. Age is just a number. Dont let it stop you from living your life the way you please. Thats what i say!
Providing they are reasonable things and not to ott, or get you in trouble!!!

Heh, thanks :)
It just got to me a little, how everyone was trying to put this guy down for the decision he has made.
You and I both got engaged at early stages of our relationships - and we've both got it good with our partners - who we're very happy with. Proof that Love still exists :)
