Dear GhanaWeb: I struggle to propose to a lady

My current challenge is how to propose to a lady.

Ever since I became aware of love, marked by a racing heartbeat, I have never proposed to the ladies I secretly admired.

From senior high school to university, I have watched my friends and best friend steal every lady I have proclaimed love to in my head.

I do not want to blame the situation on my reserved personality, but I need to come out of it before I miss out on a big opportunity, which is why I am here.

There’s this cute lady at my workplace, and I have admired her since we became homegoing partners.

On the days she tells me to go ahead because she has unfinished work to complete, I insist on waiting on her.

It began as friends, which proceeded to a sister-and-brother relationship, and now I am in love with her.

My day is incomplete when she’s absent from work, and that made me realise how strong my feelings are for her.

I’m not sure I would ever forgive myself if I lost my guard and allowed someone to snatch her away from me.

I lack the words and techniques to woo a lady. I need some guidelines or tips, please.
