I live with modern and humane rules, so I'm for equality. but what if she would be waiting for me to propose her?
but do I really have to give her a ring? what if she would say yes just because of the ring? can I propose her without any jewellery? I dont like jewellery.

Sure she can. But this is a pretty new idea, so there isn't really a good chance that she will. You can propose to her without a ring, but she might expect one.

You have lots of questions there! And yes, a woman can propose to the man. It has happened plenty of times before. And she might be more traditional than that, so she might want to be the one to be proposed to. It would depend on her personality and such. Additionally, I don't think that women would ever enter into a marriage situation just because of the ring involved! This is a life commitment, we are not that selfish. And I would really suggest a ring. This is not really about what you like as far as jewelry goes. You should get a ring or something meaningful and do it like that. You can propose to her without it, there is no law, but I would think there would be a weirdness about that.

Depends on the woman-you should talk to her about marriage before asking her, you might be surprised (good or bad) about her views of marrying and marriage itself.
Some women might propose to you, but many women won't. If a ring is important to either one of you, I'd get rings for both of you or some other sort of jewelry, to symbolize joining. Some women and men are real into jewelry, others aren't. If you think she would say yes because of the ring, she doesn't sound like someone you'd want to ask, right? Yes, you can propose without any jewelry, but you don't sound like you know her very well, if you don't know what her views are on these questions...I'd try to discuss many of these concerns with her before asking her.
Personally, I dislike tradition and ritual, and when I married, I didn't want an engagement ring or big ceremony, and didn't. Now, I don't want marriage. But I've already tried it!
Good luck!

Yes sure, I proposed to my husband on christmas day and he was thrilled. I bought him an engagement ring, then later on he got me one.
Have you talked about the prospect of marriage? Either sex, it's a lovely gesture. You don't have to use rings, but does SHE like jewellery? It's nice to give a symbol of teh occassion, which is why jewellery usually is given.

It depends on the woman. Personally, I would never propose to a man, but I wouldn't look down on somebody else for doing it. If your girlfriend is very feminist and pro-equality, she might be okay with it.
And as for the ring... It's a nice touch, and its traditional. You don't have to have it if you really don't want, but it will be something to remind her of your proposal, and it's always nice to be able to have something tangible to show off the engagement. And, just because you don't like jewelry, doesn't mean she doesn't.
I suggest talking with one of her friends (sworn to secrecy) to see if they know anything about what your girlfriend expects as far as proposals go. Somebody that knows her will be able to give you a much better judgement than anybody on here.

Of course a woman can propose to a man. She can even give you an engagement ring........silver, rectrangular onyx stone with a single diamond in the b/r corner.....or something of your own design.
Ask her to marry you and find out about the ring. Get it off your conscience. If you two are going to worry about 'value' objects now, what are you going to be like after the wedding?

You could try giving her an onion ring and see how she reacts, although the more valuable the ring, the more you're saying that you're willing to sacrifice something for her which means that you're saying that she means a lot to you etc.
