I just know that she's the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life and I'll wait for as long as it takes until she's ready. We've really grown and matured a lot over the past year, so I think it may be time to pop the question again.

Be very cautious. Since apparently she wasn't too thrilled about the ring the first time around, I think this time you should definitely talk it over with her and make the decision together. Before heading out to choose an engagement ring, ask her if about her feelings on marriage, if she feels ready, and if she wants to get married at all. Some people these days are just generally turned off by the institution of marriage, especially if they come from families with divorces or infidelity. To some, making such a formal commitment sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Do you think she's ready to say yes now? If you're bent on proposing to your girlfriend yet again then I recommend you not go too overboard with your proposal. Obviously your girlfriend is a little hesitant when it comes to marriage. So, making a huge deal out of the proposal may freak her out yet again and may prompt her to say 'no'. Your proposal should be simple and heartfelt. No grandiose gestures, an over the top proposal won't necessarily make her say 'yes'. I suggest you take her to a nice, romantic dinner, then get down on one knee, tell her how much you love and cherish her and ask her to reconsider her previous refusal. As for the engagement ring, If you kept it then there should be no reason why you shouldn't propose with the same ring. Good luck!

You're situation sounds a bit awkward, to say the least. I personally wouldn't have been able to get back together with a girl who declined my marriage proposal. Saying "no" to a proposal means saying "no" to spending the rest of your lives together. This rejection should have set off all your alarm bells and like I said before, personally I would have broken off the relationship at that point. It seems to me that you're really interested in getting married, but your girl doesn't feel the same way. Do you feel like anything changed from the last time you proposed? Do you honestly think that any of her views about marriage changed? Because otherwise, you're just in for yet another rejection and I think this one will be an even harder blow to you. Try to sniff out from her friends and family if your girlfriend is interested at all in getting married, and if not I strongly recommend you call it quits.

First of all, did you return the engagement ring last time, or did you keep it? If your returned it, of course choose a new engagement ring. If you still have it, I recommend you still choose a new engagement ring. Sounds like BAD luck to propose with the same ring twice. Take her someplace special - NOT the same place you took her the first time, maybe a weekend away at a beach resort, or a short trip to Europe even to set a super romantic mood. Tell her you want to spend the rest of your life with her and ask her if she'd like to get married. If she says yes, THEN get down on one knee and propose. If she says she still feels she's not ready yet, don't let her know you bought a ring. Pack it back in your suitcase and try to enjoy the rest of the weekend as best you can.

Go for it. Get the engagement ring, bend down on one knee, do the whole shebang all over again. If she says no again, you may have to face the fact that she might not be the one. If marriage is something that is really important to you - and it seems like it is - then you two need to have a serious talk about your future.
