Would you propose to a guy?

Nope. I'm old fashioned.

 

i think that it would be so much romantic if he did that. And then, men don't like to make decisions.... at least this one, WDF!
The maximum that I could do would be talk about it, you know, to make him understand that I'd love to get married. "last night I dreamed about you and me getting married and having a baby. Funny, uh? But we were so happy!" lol

 

Fear of rejection or seeming desperate maybe ???

I don't think I would propose either.

 

Be real

 

Not an old fashion Canadian? I'm shocked.

 

I wouldn't. Social mores prevent women from doing it and getting away with it. A woman would be looked down upon as desperate. It's no different than a woman "forcing" the man to propose.

In my experiences, if a man wants to marry a woman, he won't need to be poked, prodded, and otherwise forced to propose to her. He'll do it because he wants to, and when that happens, then you know that you're getting a real committment from him (at least you hope you are anyway! :lol: ).

 

lol, no I'm not very old fashioned when it comes to that.

 

how and where would you do it?

 

When I think about it, maybe I would. I guess I've never felt like that before (that I wanted to marry a guy) but if I ever do, then maybe I would. Surely if we were that comfortable with each other that I'd want to marry him, proposing would be no problem. Still, I'd be scared of rejection :smt089

 

The reason why the guy who keeps staring at you at the party won't approach is because he has a fear of rejection.

Take that fear multiply it by 10 and you'll know why the average woman would never ask a man to marry her.

 

SOOOOO right!!

No, I would NEVER propose to a man, I may hint, I may make it clear what my answer would be so he would get his own courage up, but I would not propose.

Why? Well, because as others have said, I want to KNOW my man wants to be with me for the rest of his life because he got there on his own, and not because I asked him to. I want to KNOW that I am the main object of his desire, and YES, he had better be ready to put his money where his mouth is and buy me a ring. (I doesn't need to cost a fortune, but it better not be an Avon special either.)

 

I generally just don't want a guy that I had to chase. I want to feel like the chosen prize.

 

Chosen prize?


Wow! I guess someone wants to be a trophy wife.

 

I've already been a wife. And I guess someone doesn't like my answer to his question... oh well.

 

I agree, well said Mosk, I too would like to feel like the chosen prize!! Treasured because he wanted me enough to make some sacrifices, and commitments, then I would be privileged to treat him as my prize also.

 

How & where would depend on how we met or perhaps our favourite activity. For example, maybe if we were both mountain climbers, I would propose on our favourite climb. If we were both divers, then on a great dive or on the beach or something like that. How would I deal with a ring question, hmmm I don't think he'd want an engagement ring, we could just consider ourselves engaged.

Also, I'd like to add that I wouldn't be chasing down some random dude in a brutal act of desperation. I'd propose to my love, my man, the person with whom I've already had conversations about marriage and confirmed that we were on the same page.

I met my former husband on a football field (I was the trainer and he a coach). He proposed to me at the exact spot where I first said "Hi" to him and it blew my mind!

 

most girls won't even approach a guy, i doubt any would propose to a guy.

 

Never say never.

 

Toronto, I would do and have done both.

I have some fear of rejection, but I am not going to stand still and let life take me, I take it. Believe it, there are women that propose.

I proposed to my former husband. He was so old school so he said no that men have to do it. He wanted to get married, he just wanted to be the proposer. So I let him do it and he did, lol.
