Isn't this like role reversal where she will wear the pants in the family? And then he goes out and buys a ring later?
Isn't the guy supposed to do this if he truly loves the woman?

ASK HIM, if you think he's ready! It's scary, but it is for him as well. If I had waited for my husband to propose, we'd still be dating. (10.5 yrs)
My husband and I talked about getting married. We looked for rings for me, but I had a hard time finding one that I liked. He hates shopping and does anything he can to get out of it. So one day I'm shopping with my mom for Christmas items and I go into a jewelry store and I found the perfect ring. I asked the sales lady to right down the information for the ring on the back of her business card. I wanted it to be so complete that he could just walk into the store and say, "I want this," and hand them the card. Then I selected a ring for him, I bought it and I proposed. After he said "Yes!" I gave him the card with my information on it and he handled the rest. I'd say he still wears the pants in the family, but he lets me buy the ones I like. He's still the provider about 60/40.
Good Luck!

While it may NOT be the "normal" thing in someone's eyes, it doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't do it. You should ALWAYS DO WHAT YOUR HEART DICTATES! AND NOT GIVE A DAMN WHAT ANYBODY ELSE SAYS OR DOES!
If you love the guy, and if you feel that you could wake up next to him for the next 50 years or so, then why not? What if the guy is shy? There is no yes or no in any situation like this. GO FOR IT! The worst that can happen is that he will say either a flat out Yes, or a No.
If you don't take a chance, you will never know, will you"

The worst which could take place is that he will say the two a flat out particular, or a No. in case you do no longer take of venture, you will by no ability comprehend, will you"

There is nothing wrong with women taking the bull by the horns and asking. I'll admit the ring is a new twist I've not heard of. Just because a woman does the asking doesn't mean she wants to run things, relationships should be equal partnerships anyways.
Since I'm the more outgoing one, I asked my husband to marry me.

Define 'normal'.
It is not typical but it is not uncommon either.
Why should the man have to do the proposing, why should the woman not do it?
My mother proposed to my father, I have friends where the girl proposed to the guy.
If he truly loves her it should not matter & he should just say yes.

Normal...why do you care if people consider this to be normal or not?! If you love your boyfriend/girlfriend and want to spend the rest of your life with him/her then just propose to him/her! If he thinks that "oh, I should have done the proposal. you are too manly for me" then he is not the right one.

It is accepted in today's society. I would not propose to a guy, but that's not to say it's wrong... it's just not for me. And I'm a little old-fashioned anyway.

This is the year 2007... It is acceptable for either gender to propose..
As for the pants in the family my husband and I share them and it's worked out great for 10.8 years.. If my husband suddenly said "Me Tarzan you Jane." he'd be swinging with his vine around his neck..

What possible difference does it make? Save me from people who think the way things are 'supposed to' happen is the only right one.

Gender roles completely skewed. It is the mans position to do this.
