Or would it sort of be emasculating him. I would like to buy him a ring and get down on my knees and ask, of course I wouldn't forget the roses and candelight. Would a man like this if he really loved someone?

It's a very sweet thought,,,,but it might "steal his thunder" a bit. Especially if he already has something in mind.

It depends what kind of guy they are. I think if they have a big ego or always feel the need to be "the man" in the relationship then they'd probably be angry. On the other hand if he's fun and not as serious then he'd see past the emasculating thing and would see the real meaning. It all depends on your guy. I know my guy would love it but would later propose to me to make it all traditional. Oh yea, I wouldn't embarass myself and do the whole set-up. I'd ask in private.

Sounds like you cannot wait any longer and are afraid he will never ask. If you do all that and he says no--you will devastated and writing to us again---if he is pressured and really doesn't have the guts to say no---he will subject you to a short lousy marriage. Either way it is NOT a good idea to do this....romantic or not--it is dangerous---maybe you should just ask him what the future holds and see if he gives an honest answer--if you cannot wait or absoluetly have to be married--move on--don't waste any more time.

I think he wouldn't mind, but only you know him more. So not sure how he will handle it. He might have gotten you a ring already and is planning the same, but probably is waiting for the perfect time. I would plan as you have already, and then ask him, but don't get on your knees, sit on his lap with your arms around him instead! (smile)

I would not get on my knees but go out to dinner with a ring and ask. I don't think it would bother him if you two feel the same way he might be thinking the same thing. Good luck

believe it or not, my father did not propose to my mother. My mom ended up asking him if they wanted to get married, and they did. But when my mom proposed, she left out the theatrics. She just asked him in a casual conversation. Personally, I would ask him in a casual way. Don't make a big deal out of it because he might get scared (which is probably why he hasn't asked you yet).

You should wait and let your boyfriend ask you.... Can you imagine him talking to his friends and family telling them how his g/f got one one knee and asked him? Its a point of pride to most men to ask their g/f to marry them and provide a beautiful ring. I guess if you really want to know how he feels about it ask him. You can always play the every popular *I read in cosmo or, I know someone who... and see what he says

I proposed to my husband. Just make sure you're going to get a "yes". No roses, no candlelight. Too girlie.
