I love my b/f and I don't want to be with anyone else and I can't imagine being with another man. i am 23 and he is 27 we have been together 3 1/2 years (today actually is our 3 1/2 year anniversary0. We have a 2 1/2 year old son, we have been through hell and high water. I know he wants to marry me but I can't figure out why he hasn't propsed to me. So if I proposed to him I know he would accept. Do women propose to me? Would I put a ring on his finger or would I go get a ring for my self and after I ask him have him slip the ring on my finger? How would the ring thing work?

My second wife proposed to me and we were married on Valentines day 2003. She knew I had been burned bad by my first wife and that I was gun shy about getting married again. So she asked me to marry her and I was suprised but said YES. We went out together and bought rings soon after she asked me. After we bought the wedding rings I went and bought her an engagement ring even tho my friends thought it was stupid. But then I got down on bended knee and asked her to marry me. I told her that I knew we were already going to get married but that I wanted her to know how much I loved her and that I wanted to ask HER also...thankfully she said yes..lol

There are no laws saying that women can't propose to men. The engagement ring is more of an incidental and not a requirement.
Be careful . . . even though you have been together for a long time and you have a child together, he still may not be ready for marriage. My husband and I have been together for 14 years and married for one plus we have three children together. It took 13 years and we married on April Fool's Day which is a month before our youngest was born and we really only married because I lost my medical insurance.
I'm not saying that he doesn't love you and doesn't want to make that commitment because he obviously does. He just may not be ready to give up that "single" status yet. Men are strange that way.
Good luck and don't worry. Everything has a way of working out the way it's meant to.

ABSOLUTELY you can propose to him! It sounds like you've got a wonderful life together. He may not think YOU will accept or perhaps he wants to make sure he's ready. I would find him a nice ring and put it on his right ring finger (that's an Irish tradition) to symbolize that he is engaged. When you get married, have him move it to his left hand. The ring for you would be pretty simple. If he accepts your proposal, tell him you'd like to have him put the ring on YOUR finger and go and choose one together. Good luck! Congratulations!

Yes, I believe you can. But, I think you are getting ahead of yourself thinking about the ring thing and all. I would say a nice dinner and a talk about the subject would be a good way to break the ice about popping the question.

Sure if you know your man. It should not be a problem and there is no rule that says a woman cannot propose to a guy. But be careful it may not work all the time.

I proposed to my husband; it works! We've been married 9 yrs. After he says yes, go have a celebratory dinner and then go shopping (for the ring!). Congratulations!

Yes, many women have asked men. You can make hima romantic dinner and just tell him you know you want to spend the rest of your life together.
You don't need to get hima ring, but if you want one, you can go shopping together and buy one.
Good luck!

I personally wouldn't propose to a man. If a man wanted to get married, he'd do the asking. Perhaps you need to find out why he hasn't before you go shotgun.
But, if you insist...here are some tips:

You can, but you shouldn't. Let the guy have his balls! And if he's not asking you, then he's definitely not ready or you're just not the one. The fact that you two already have a kid together - he's probably wishing he could get the heck out of there!!!

Sure, but I'm old-fashioned....to me, if the guy isn't asking you, then there's a reason.....maybe he's not ready and if you ask him he will feel obligated to say yes, even if he's questionable on it. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life wondering if that was the case.
