Popping the question in San Francisco

altguy

The 26th will be my 10th anniversary with my girlfriend, and I'm finally getting off my lazy ass and getting her a ring. Anyone have any suggestions for good, romantic spots to do it? I'll be taking her out to dinner, and we were thinking of drinks afterwards, so I was thinking perhaps in between would be a good time. It'll be dark and probably cold. Right now I'm thinking of Land's End Trail near Lincoln Park, the view of the bridge is supposed to be pretty good. Any other suggestions, H/A?

(this is an alt account because she has admitted to e-stalking me at every opportunity)

Do you have any super meaningful locations with her?

For example "that one place where we danced and didn't say a word and all was right and yadda yadda". Those memorable spots are always nice to retrace.

If not that then I say the trail is fine. Looks nice enough. Dress warm and make sure it isn't too dark outside.

Maybe get out there at sunset.

Fort Point at the very end of Marine Drive is nice.

I saw the thread title and jumped on here to recommend Land's End.

So, I'll just add a "good luck!"

yea i would walk down crissy field towards the bridge and do it down there. once you start heading that way its pretty secluded.


there is always coit tower, but i have never been up there

do you have any time to yourself? I would try to scout out some of these locations if possible

You might look into the ruins of the Sutro Baths. Great views of the ocean and the Seal Rocks, with the Cliff House nearby, where you could get drinks beforehand.

The pictures don't really do the setting justice. They're really eerily beautiful, especially around sunset.

also might want to head over to saulsolito area

Any outdoor location with a decent view is going to be cold this time of year.

But I'm going to throw in a recommendation for Ina Coolbrith Park.

It's close enough to Columbus & Broadway that you can walk it from there, and there are plenty of places in that area to get drinks/food/coffee/etc. And it's not going to be a huge hike. (Just a little hike )

It's not well-known enough to have a shitload of tourists and it's not cliche.

i always found SF to be warmest in teh winter.
