What do you do if your girlfriend says no to your proposal. Staggered has some words of wisdom for when you get the worst “no” there is.

It’s been said before that Staggered editor Andrew Shanahan sounds like a young Neil Diamond who is lost in Prague and once again that maxim is proved to be true when he appears on radio to discuss mengagement rings.

You’re proud of being your own man. You stick to your principles without faltering and maintain your integrity at all times. Moreover, you’re someone who’s wholly impervious to manipulation from the fairer sex. But are you sure that your engagement was really all your own idea?

We’re always interested to know what men think about marriage and every so often we’ll ask them for their views and opinions. In this instance Staggered’s relationship expert Brenda Della Casa more or less pleaded to interview Sex and the City star Gilles Marini.

Once she’d finished drooling we were able to bring you the actor’s thoughts on marriage, kids, Sex and the City and, of course, sex.

Getting engaged should be a magical moment in your life. The point where you make the ultimate sales pitch and close the deal on a lifetime of happiness. Popping the question on Facebook means you’re doomed from the start, here are our top ways NOT to propose.
