There are a few uses for propose.



It can mean to make a propsal or declare a plan for something e.g. I propose that we leave earlier to avoid rush hour traffic.



It can also mean a project or something up for consideration e.g. My proposal was well accepted and my company secured the contract.



The meaning that I think you are looking for is to ask somebody to marry them. He proposed to his girlfriend at the top of the Eiffel tower.



You wouls not say "I propose you" or "I propose you"....It would be will you marry me.

I propose to you that we do something.... sounds a bit awkward to me but it is the better of the 2 choices you gave.



Otherwise



I propose that we go at 5:00.

You propose to someone by saying, "Will you marry me?" not, "I propose to you."

But a person may propose a (toast, question) or propose that (we leave now). Bye!
