TEN WAYS TO PROPOSE SOMEONE ;-)

1. Walk up behind girl and point fingers shaped like gun into her back "You're under arrest!" For what? "For stealing my heart."

2. Hi, my name is Chance, Do I have one?

3. Are your legs tired? girl: Why? because you have been running through my mind all day!

4. "I lost my phone number, can I borrow yours?"

5. Can you give me directions to your heart? I've seemed to have lost myself in your eyes.

7. Pick up a flower and walk over to girl. "I was just showing this flower how beautiful you are."

8. Is it hot in here or is it just you?
