Either of you can bring the subject up and have a discussion. That way, before you ask "the question", you know where you stand.

it depends.
in my opinion there is nothing wrong with a woman asking the guy the question. im thinking who says the guy has to always ask? and what picture does that giv us women, if we are waiting there sitting patiently because we are sooo ready for marriage but afraid to ask the question.
i dont see anything wrong with asking personally. and if i was in your possition and i wanted to settle down, i would ask.
but you should not just POP the question - litterally. if you both have never discussed marriage b4 ever, then that would be a shock to his system!
i do agree that some guys have commitment issues, where yes they love you and you mean the world to them but the thought of settling down with one person 4ever will scare them senseless... if this is your man, then im guessing there is a reason why he has not asked you yet. if this is the case you have to just be patient and hope that he gets over his fear. reassure him and tell him good things... paint happy pictures of what your life will b like if you get married. but dont ask and push, it will scare him of and drive him away possibly.
but if there is no other factor involved, and he is not afraid of getting married, then there is nothing wrong with you asking. in fact, more respect to you for that!!!
:-)
All the best.

You should find out where you stand first as a knock back can be rather upsetting and can ruin a relationship. But theres nothing to stop you from asking your partner. Its not always up to the man.

Normally it's the guy, but these days I don't think that matters. If you are not truly comfortable in being able to ask then drop subtle hints about needing commitments.

Traditionally, it's the man. But I see nothing wrong with a woman asking a man to marry her. If you're ready to settle down then ask the person you're with.

The man should be the one to ask the question.
