What to Write on a Proposal Website: Examples & Templates
The design takes five minutes. The words are the hard part - so here's exactly what to write on a proposal website, broken into a question line, a subtitle, and 10 fill-in templates.
You've picked the theme. You've got the runaway NO button armed and ready. And now there's a blinking cursor where the words go, and your brain has decided that every sweet thing you've ever felt sounds either cringey or flat. Deciding what to write on a proposal website is the part everyone underestimates - so this guide gives you the structure, the formulas, and ready-made templates to fill in.
The single most useful thing to understand first: on a Bondlyfe page, your words live in three places, and each one has a different job. Get the jobs right and the writing almost does itself.
๐ Question line = the big headline they read first (4-8 words)
๐ฌ Subtitle = one or two warm, specific sentences underneath
๐ Yes-screen = the short, happy line they see after they click yes
The question line vs the subtitle
This is the distinction people get wrong most often. They try to cram the whole feeling into the headline and end up with a question that reads like a paragraph. Don't. The question line is the part their eyes land on first, so it has to be readable in a single breath: "Will you be mine?", "Will you marry me?", "Be my girlfriend?". Four to eight words, no commas if you can help it.
The subtitle is where the heart goes - the one or two sentences that explain why you and why now. This is where a real detail does all the heavy lifting. "I've loved you since the train was delayed two hours and you didn't stop talking the whole time" beats any borrowed poem, because it could only ever be about this one person. Together the two lines read like a tiny love letter: the question on top, the reason below.
Three formulas that always work
If you're staring at the blank box, pick one of these and plug your details in. They are deliberately simple - the goal is honest, not Shakespearean.
1. The Specific-Detail formula. Question: the clear ask. Subtitle: "Ever since [a real moment], I've known it was you."
2. The Then-and-Now formula. Question: the clear ask. Subtitle: "[Where you started]. [Where you are now]. Say yes and let's keep going."
3. The Playful-Dodge formula. Question: the clear ask. Subtitle: "Fair warning - the NO button is shy and tends to run. Just go with it."
That third formula leans into Bondlyfe's signature trick: the NO button that scampers away every time they try to click it. If your relationship runs on teasing, name it in the subtitle - it primes them for the joke and makes the yes feel inevitable.
10 fill-in-the-blank templates
Copy any of these, swap the bracketed bits for your own, and you're done. Each one is a complete question line plus a subtitle.
1. "Will you be mine?" - Of all the people in all the world, it's only ever been [name].
2. "Will you marry me?" - I want every ordinary [day of week] with you. Say yes?
3. "Be my girlfriend?" - I've been working up the nerve since [the moment you met]. Soโฆ official?
4. "Date me forever?" - I already stole your [hoodie / fries / playlist]. Might as well make it permanent.
5. "Same address someday?" - [X] miles and [X] time zones are too many. Marry me and let's fix that.
6. "Will you be my person?" - The one I text [the dumb thing] first. The one I want next to me for the rest of it.
7. "Forever - starting now?" - I knew the day [the detail]. I've just been waiting for the courage to ask.
8. "Will you put up with me forever?" - There's no NO button. Well - there is, it just won't hold still.
9. "You + me. Yes?" - That's the whole question. [Name], that's the whole answer I'm hoping for.
10. "Stay with me?" - Today, [their birthday], every anniversary after, and all the loud ordinary days in between.

What to write on the yes-screen
Everyone obsesses over the question and forgets the screen that appears after they click yes - which is a shame, because that's the one they screenshot. Keep it short, celebratory, and a little smug. This is your victory lap, not another paragraph.
๐ "I knew it."
๐ "Best decision you've ever made."
๐ "Now come here."
๐ "See? The NO button never stood a chance."
Match the words to your tone
One rule beats all the others: the writing should sound like you two. If your relationship is built on inside jokes and roasting each other, a soft, solemn proposal will feel like it was written by someone else - and they'll know. Funny couples should be funny. Soft couples should be soft. The runaway NO button gives the playful crowd an easy on-ramp, and you can switch it off entirely if you want the moment to be purely tender.
Before you publish, run your draft through three quick filters. First, add one real detail - a place, a date, a habit. Second, read it out loud; if it sounds like a greeting card, cut a word. Third, make sure the question is short enough to read in one glance.
Where the words go
Once you've got your three pieces, they need a home. On Bondlyfe you drop the question into the headline, the warm line into the subtitle, write your yes-screen, pick a theme, and get a private link to share over WhatsApp, Instagram, or in person. Our step-by-step guide on how to create a proposal website walks through every field, including how to keep or disable the runaway NO button. The whole thing takes a few minutes - the writing is genuinely the longest part.
Frequently asked questions
What should I write on a proposal website? Write in two parts - a short question line (the headline, four to eight words) and a subtitle of one or two warm, specific sentences. Add one real detail only the two of you would know, and save anything longer for the yes-screen they see after clicking.
How long should the text be? Short. The question is one breath; the subtitle is one or two sentences, never a paragraph. People remember a single honest line far longer than a wall of text.
What should the yes-screen say? Keep it celebratory and a touch funny - one line of payoff like "I knew it." or "Now come here." It's the screen they'll screenshot, so make it feel like a high-five.
