Women, would you propose to your guy?

Men, what would be your reaction?

    It's only a question, why does it matter WHO asks it?

    Proposing leaving after sex? Sure.

    Proposing marriage? No.

    Same here-I'm old school when it comes to relationship things so I want him to ask me just cause that's how I am

    There was just a thread about this topic the other day.

    I wouldn't. Not necessarily because of the gender role, but because marriage is just not important to me. Commitment is. I would get married if it was important to the person I was committed to, but I wouldn't initiate it because marriage is just not my priority.

    I wouldn't, simply because I'm a goofy romantic. But I think it's fine if it works for the girl, and even better when the guy says yes!

    well, i didnt exactly ask, but i did start the conversation about getting married. and he agreed it was time, and he wanted to marry me, but he had no clue about what ring to get me, so i found the ring i liked and sent him the link.

    after that it was all him. and it was a great proposal :)

    but it wouldnt have happened had i not steered the conversation that way, or at least it wouldnt have happened as fast.

    I don't think there is any kind of rule to this. Different strokes at different folks.

    I think I would have a difficult time with it because I require expressions of commitment in order to not feel insecure. So, whether or not it was warranted, if I proposed and he said yes I would be very concerned that I had "forced" him into it. For that reason, I would want it to come from him.

    In terms of the guy caring, I have heard before that men dream of an epic proposal the way women plan out a dream wedding. It is the time they really get to feel like a "man." I think that's a bit silly, and I know that my current boyfriend is much more of a feminist than that, but its something to consider.

    But underlying all of this- I don't think a proposal should ever happen without both parties having honest and mature conversations about their future goals and intentions for the relationship long prior to marriage....I guess I mean that my personal belief is that no one in this day and age should propose without already knowing the answer! Then again, I'm a big believer in living with someone for a long time before marriage and children, etc, and religious or traditional people might certainly feel otherwise.

    OP, do you have plans to propose??? I'd be interested in hearing about them!!! Good luck!!

    if me and the guy already established that it wouldn't make him feel less of a man, and i really wanna get married to him, why wouldn't i propose?

    I would discuss the possibility of marriage, and think most long term relationships should have this discussion at a certain point and it doesn't matter who starts it. But no, I wouldn't do a formal proposal.

    Yes it is acceptable. Equal rights remember? lol. It depends on the situation. If both parties know they want a traditional relationship then no, the man should ask. If more modern relationship then it is acceptable. It is more than acceptable if the woman is the bread winner and wears the pants. Hell I would EXPECT the woman to ask.
