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.grin

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.

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

laugh

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.

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. wink
