How would you feel if your girlfriend proposed to you. The two of you have already talked about marraige and even set a date. Would you feel uncomfortable or even less of a man?
For the ladies..has anyone ever done it? How did it go?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 4 years now. I know he's the one. We discussed marrrage numeroud times.

Did I mention that I am a female wanting to propose to my boyfriend, my bestfriend?
2007-01-03 01:55:52 · update #2
Oh, one more thing. When we were together before, we had everything planned. I was the one who wasn't ready and I ended the relationship.

I'd be fine with it. She can express her love and desires the same as I can. I feel even better about it if I actually wanted to marry her too!

In This Day And Age It Shouldn't Really Matter Which Of You Makes The Proposal. That Said, I Can Already See From Other Answers That Some Men Think It Does.
Traditionally You Can Safely Propose To Your Man During A Leap Year But As With Every Tradition There Is Always A Time For Change. I Would Hope That After 4 Years Together, You Would Know How He Is Likely To React If You Pop The Question? If You Think You Still Want To Be The One To Do It, As Others Have Said Maybe Don't Make Too Much Of A Show Of It. You Should Still Make It A Really Special Occasion For The Two Of You. I Proposed Over A Candle Light Dinner With A Bottle Of Champagne And My Lady Said Yes! Romance Is The Thing Darl, Let Your Heart Take The Lead And Good Luck!
God Bless You Both And May 2007 Be A Very Special Year For You!

Hey, I believe in the romantic tradition of a man asking for the hand of a woman. I don't care how powerful her job, or the amount of her income...a woman (most women) wants the man to come to her. It's nature...the male doing the mating dance. I think there's something just a little too desperate, or head-strong, or penis envy....whatever you want to call it....if a woman asks a man.
The talking about it is one thing, but the setting a date? I've heard plenty of women say..."we've talked about marriage and are going to get married on...(whatever day)..." That day comes and goes....the guy has the cold statement of..."Hey, we never made anything official, all we did is talk about what we'd like to do..." Vicious circle...
Bottom line, really consider everything you can about your future together...kids, religion, who works/doesn't work, politics. Then, be a man and propose they way MOST women would want. Again....I say MOST women.
2) Now, I see that you are a woman, consider your boyfriend...is he the traditional type? I'd make pretty darn certain of his REAL feelings. If he says no or gives you the old "let's not rush into this", that's going to hurt.

Yes, I've done it. I proposed to my now fiancee on New Year's Eve and he was shocked but he doesn't feel less than a man. He actually loved the fact that I love him enough to buy him a ring and ask him to marry me. You have to make sure the time and place is just right. If he loves you and you love him what difference does it make who askes. Girl, if you want to ask your man to marry you I say go for it.

I always appreciate a surprise in a relationship. I would not feel uncomfortable. If you have a high level of communication in your relationship, he will smile and appreciate a non-traditional approach. IF you feel the timing is right, I say go for it. Hope it helps. Bob

No. I asked my wife to marry me, but I would have been OK with her asking me. She made the first move in our relationship and I was glad she did. Before we started dating I had been hurt badly by a previous girlfriend and was reluctant about beginning another one, but it worked out fine in the end.

My wife proposed to me 17 years ago and we have been happily married since. Nothing wrong with it as long as your boy friend is not hung up on tradition.

it would probably be uncomfortable at first, but in the end- if you want to be married, that is all that is important. so you didn't go about it in the traditional way. both of you being happy long-term is what is important.

I havent, but i have a friend that did, it seems to be working out well.
I think that a girl dreams of being asked, but if she feels she is waiting too long she will ask.
