From Fling To Ring In 60 Days: The Rules of Getting Any Guy to Propose to You in 60 Days or Less

Just finished watching the first season of Ugly Betty, and thought I write a little about Sofia Reyes, a fictional character in the series, who managed to tie down Daniel, an editor-in-chief of Mode and a notorious womenizer. 

“From Fling To Ring In 60 Days: The Rules of Getting Any Guy to Propose to You in 60 Days or Less”

1. Pique his interest: Sofia may have taken off her shirt in the elevator to get his attention after a coffee spilled, but ladies, a more practical way would be to smile and be approachable. 
2. Stay in close proximity. She may take over Daniel’s boardroom to get his attention, but you can….actually, I think this one is a good idea.  If you can do something bold like this, I suggest you do it. 
3. Give him a taste. Sofia seduced Daniel at the bar.  Well, if you have a chance to flirt with him (without anyone else you know seeing), then go for it. 
4. Make yourself unavailable. Sofia didn’t return Daniel’s call(s), and then introduced her boyfriend into the picture.  After he’s definitely into you, please make sure NOT to spend every waking moment with him.  Your family and your friends are important, but the most important of all is the time for youself.  I don’t recommend doing 1-3 and then 4 if you already have a boyfriend though, that’s just a plain bitch.  Give him space and opportunities to hook up with other girls, so he can enjoy some time with his friends and give him a chance to miss you and reflect on the relationship.  If he still thinks about you while he is hanging out with other female companions, he’ll know you are the one.
5. Give him a ticking clock. Sofia gave Daniel the choice to make, to settle down in a matter of a minute or Harry will propose to her this weekend. Some guys need a little push to take an action, but you have to tick all the boxes for this to work.  If there is any box that he is unsured about, the likelyhood of he getting down on his knee is pretty low. 

PS: It’s a foolproofed method, as I probably utilized all of the 5 rules stated by Sofia, but mine took 1095 days to accomplish!
