Is it ok for a woman to propose to a man?

Question

Or do men find that to be a real turn-off??

Answer 1

it's ok for a woman to propose to a man.

Answer 2

In this modern age, of course a woman may propose to the man. However, since proposals and weddings are so full of old traditions from times when this would have been unthinkable, there are tricky bits to consider like who provides the engagement ring and who wears it. After all, it might be rather tacky for the woman to propose, then ask the man to go purchase a ring for her.

You can get around this by going back a few centuries to the middle ages when couples that were to be married in the future (often royal children) wore "promise rings". These bands often had snippets of poetry or bible verses engraved on either the inside or outside of the band, or both. The rings were worn until the couple could be wedded, then replaced with wedding rings.

If you propose to him, and want to give a ring, then a pair of promise rings would do you well. You'll find many of them out there if you do a google search.

Congrats, by the way and good luck!

Answer 3

It's all right for a woman to propose to a man, and it's not a modern thing. Since ancient times, the woman or her family will ask a man to marry the woman (with wealth and services sometimes given to the man as a reward and/or compensation).

Example? Khadijah proposed to Muhammad.


Just remember that each man is different, some might accept it while others might resent.

Answer 4

Absolutely. A lot of men I know think it is a real turn on for a woman to ask.

Answer 5

Hi Sarah,

Generally, people thinks, it's a man's duty to convey their feelings of love, towards their lay loves. But, why, it's always a man's duty? I know several women, who have proposed to their men, and got accepted. :-)

It's not just about who says it. If you really love your man, really want to spend your life with him, then convey your feelings towards him. Just try to tell him all those magical words, in a great way, so that, you two can cherish the moments for a long time, even after some years.

If your man loves you from his heart, he won't mind at all. Infact, he would be the happiest man in this earth, to know, his love also loves him, like he loves her!

So, all the very very best for the great moment. Trust me, gather some courages, and tell him that you love him! I am sure, a great future is ahead of you!

:-)

Answer 6

Answer 7

I think so! My husband was hesitant on proposing to me, so I propsoed to him! He said "Yes!" We got married in a church without a big Wedding. His Grandfather said that we were the ones who got married the right way. We were the only ones in the family who did not go all out and spend alot of money for a wedding. All we did was say I DO and I LOVE YOU! Believe it or not we are the only ones so fat that has not been through a divorce. As a matter of fact our aniversary is comin up (Nov.28th).Eleven Years!!

Answer 8

It's a real turn off. I witnessed a woman propose to man in the middle of a comedy show. It was corny, tacky and made the guy look really weak and wimpy. I would not recommend it.

Answer 9

Yes it's ok. If you're really in love, why would it matter who proposed. Although, the guy will probably still have to go buy the engagement ring.

Answer 10

I did propose to my man and he said yes, on the condition that it was a verbal agreement that we would get married. He wanted to buy the ring and be the one proposing so I waited for him to get me ring and do the formal asking.
