Marriage Proposal

marylou82

Hi Guys
What do you think of a girl asking a guy to marry her!!??

Boys, what would you do if your girlfriend asked you?
Would you prefer to be the one asking??

Girls,would you consider asking?Or would you wait for the man to drop on one knee??

I am interested in hearing the opinions!!:)

Sorry but: Is this a personal issue? (Mods don't like people not reading the charter!)
I'd have no problem with a girl asking me, but I'd want an A5, or something in place of an engagement ring.

I probably would prefer to ask though. Just because I know Ms. Zulu is a bit of a traditionalist and prefer it that way.

a good few threads on this about the 29th Feb

As Zulu says, is this a PI? Sounds more like you want a discussion or poll.

but not sure if i have the guts?
will his friends think its weird??
my sis says go for it, but im unsure..........

It depends on the situation - how long have you known each other? Do you think he knows how you feel (major commitment etc)? Have you approached the subject at all before (perhaps even as a joke)?

If your answers are something like: ages, yes and yes then I'd say go for it

I wouldn't feel strange about a girl asking me to marry her at all, but I'd want to have an idea it's that serious myself to avoid getting into a situation where she thinks it's forever while i'm thinking in the here and now

If it's a reasonable possibility, then I'd be pretty chuffed. There are lots of girls out there that guys don't (and will never) have a clue where they stand with them, so it would be cool to be with someone that let you know where you stood like this - I know I'd love it if someone I was serious about asked.

As said above, though, it depends on how serious you already are; if it all feels right, go for it, and best of luck!!!!!

I'd rather be asked , than to ask...

I think if you two are on the same page about such a big committment, go for it! I think people who scoff at a woman proposing are stuck in the dark ages. Good luck!

My bf mentioned it after he asked the question. Not sure how serious he is about.
It has something to do with a leap year - that this is the year when girls can happily do that.
So why not? Go ahead and in worst case scenario you can always turn it into joke And he may appreciate your courage and that you stand out of the crowd

well we live together a year, are blissfully happy, spend every minute we can with each other.
i think he's hesitant asking,as i remember stating when we first met that i would'never get married'.That was 3 years ago.....:rolleyes:
then we started dating and my whole perspective changed!
I think the balls in my park now!!;)

aye

i hav no prob with the girl askin the guy. im 22 and the gf is 28 and she wants to get married but she knows im just too young at the moment so she's gonna wait a couple of years but anyway i'd have no prob if she gets down asks me!

saves me aswell tryin to find her the right ring she'd like as she's pick it out herself if she asks me!:D

chuci

id do it.why not go for it? you seem to be in the perfect position for the asking to be done.good luck.

Looking at your username, I'm guessing your other half would prefer not to be asked if he's the same age as you. Very few people in Ireland get married that young nowadays.

I think it's lovely.

Fella's do like surprises too and if you feel the relationship is going that way and well, I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.

This thing about his friends thinking it's weird and all that, who are you in love with and hopefully marrying, it's not his mates anyway!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

25 isnt that young!!
