Is it okay for the woman to propose? Or, men, would you prefer to be the one to propose? Honestly, women, would you propose instead of waiting for the man to propose?

I like tradition of a man proposing, but if a woman asked me to get married, I would not see anything wrong with that. Maybe a mixture of the 2 could happen. Keep the traditional man proposing to a woman, and after the woman says yes, the the woman proposes to the man.

Oh,no, I'd never propose..

Why not, if you don't mind my asking...?

Simple- because I am a traditionalist!!

Come on...try it...you can practice on me....

You want me to try??

YES!!

I asked Eric to Marry Me But i dont think he really took me seriously So he asked Me

I have never had a man go down on one knee....my ex and I just sort of arranged it together...a bit clinical I guess...so maybe next time I'll be lucky!! Id rather be asked though than do the asking to be honest.

Please, not here.

I wouln't propose but that may be just because i would not get married again, i am happy not being

married but if i met the right person as a friend first and then it developed to more i would consider

living with someone .

You mustn't let yourself get so carried away! Hold back, be cautious...

LOL......Marriage proposals....I once knew a some good jokes about them......then I got married.



Personally, I think prior to either doing the proposing....you need to come so close in life, in values, in believes.....that the proposal is kind of a technicality. You both know the answer before the question is popped. It really does not matter who is popping the question....the known answer returned is going to be "affirmative", "si", "yes", "you betcha", "when and where?", "for sure", "Oh my yes", and my favorite, "why did it take you so long to ask?".

It is kind of like a major corporation buy out. Think of Microsoft and Yahoo for a moment. Microsofts make a offer to buy Yahoo out. Yahoo plays hard to get and ups the price. Just to se how far Microsoft would go. Microsoft should have known the answer prior to asking the question. Same thing in marraige proposals.

Or like the golden rule for criminal court attroneys. Don't ask the question, unless you know the answer. Or else your client could be headed to the gas chamber.The same thing. If you don't know the answer, don't pop the question.

For me.....it ain't the question that gets you into trouble here.....is the answer that both have to live with afterwards.

Me too. Must be more traditional than I thought.

unpleasant past experience's

You are overly romantic!!

I'd tell him somebody else proposed me and then see what happens

I would not do the asking. I'm not saying that a woman SHOULDN'T ask, but that I wouldn't.

I do like the traditional thing of a man asking a woman. I want the ring popped on me and the whole nine yards. The knee is optional.
