Will you marry me?

[alildevilish]

Whos job is it really to pop the question? I know its traditional for the man to ask the woman. If a woman pops the question is she required to present him with a ring? Would she have to buy hers to. I think im thinking to much???

Its up to the man.

Even if he says it doesnt bother him that she asked first,in reality it always will.

But if a woman feels that she has that right,then she should buy the ring,not only for her- but for him too.

I beg to differ

My Ex asked me out first and proposed. I was fine with all of it. If hes dragging his feet I say go for it.
The $ details can be worked out I would think.

I think either one can bring the subject up. It's an individual thing. And I don't believe a ring is essential on either side. The symbolism of the ring can be meaningful but the meaningfulness of the relationship is the most critical matter.

if you go by tradition

The man pops the question and the brides father pays for the wedding. But to me its 2002 and everythings changed. Whats tradional now???

I'm already taken, but if I was available, I would really be flattered and happy if a woman I cared about proposed to me.

I proposed to my husband - I knew what I wanted and didn't want to wait. It was still very romantic and I got my huge diamond the week before our elopement - which was a total surprise and really wonderful of him to do.

my ex made the first move. we had known each other for quite a while and one afternoon she just asked me, "so when are you going to take me out for a drink?". i did, we did and about a year later she said, "don't you think it's time we did this full time?"

well, there ain't no flies on me so i cleverly answered, "what, you wanna get married?"

i tease about it now but it was very flattering and not at all out of line. ask away.

go for it after being to gather almost 20 years if she had not approached me the first time all those years ago we would not be to gether. I think back and find that love we have shared and look to future without her around is going to be tough.

Call me old fassioned but...

I've never asked a guy out, I don't make the 1st move. I think the guy should propose. I mean I think it's great that some women have asked. I've cheered them on when they have. I just don't think that I'd do it.
