How many get engaged on valentines day

And some people go truly over the top on their proposals. According to The Guardian , this year, one man, named James, took out a front page advertisement in The Observer Magazine to propose to his girlfriend, Katie. James and Katie's love story was almost like a fairy tale from the get go. Apparently, they met through a friend of a friend, and James had thought about Katie for years after they first met.

Finally, when he knew he was going to be in Manhattan, where Katie lived, he got in touch with her and asked her out to dinner. Their second date wouldn't come until six weeks later, where they laughed for three days, and that's when he realized he loved her. Sinead and Hayley Jane by Infinity Photos.

And, perhaps even more surprising, according to new survey, 43 percent of Millennials say Valentine's Day is their top day to propose or be proposed to.

That's right, according to a new survey of 1, married adults by James Allen, an online diamond and bridal jewelry retailer , people really love getting engaged on Valentine's Day. That seems a little on the nose to me, but I guess most people aren't going for subtly with their proposal. In fact, most people said they would prefer to get proposed to on a random day, but it's still weighted really heavy onto Valentine's Day and the "proposal season" as a whole, which means other major holidays, like Christmas and New Year's, must be getting some love.

We also see this hold true in their preference to design their own engagement ring versus choosing from a small selection in-store. Maybe it's because they are more likely to propose and are nervous, but it's not actually women dropping hints about wanting to get married.

Men were more likely to hint toward proposals and drop it into conversations, so if you're in a relationship with a man and unsure what he's feeling, you just need to open your ears.
