Step 1: Go to the Seattle-developed website proposalrater.com.

Step 2: Read through a few of the stories listed under Read ’Em and Rate ’Em, and, well, give the great ones five rings, the lame ones one or two.

Who gets more? The soon-to-be-proposer with eyes on the Seattle Symphony? Or the one with the cabin in the woods? Yeah, there’s a guy who says he’s going to Mars, too. It’s amazing that some people will take the time to create a profile just to be ridiculous.

Think your plan is better? Step 3: Submit your grand romantic scheme (or a friend’s) under the appropriate heading.

The recently launched ProposalRater.com is the work of a local wedding industry insider who shall remain nameless. I know who he/she is, but I’m not telling.

The idea behind the site is to give feedback to folks working up their popping-the-question strategy, and to share ideas with guys and gals (we live in a modern world, right?) who might be, well, as the creator puts it, "romantically challenged".

I hear there’s been some interest in a live version of the site—we’re talking reality TV. What do you think of that proposal?
