who does the proposing? o.O

[CanadianGirl]

I'm not extremely traditional, by any means, but I've never thought about proposing to someone in the future but my SO clearly has. If we decide to get married in the future, I'll let him be the one to formally ask.

I don't really want a big fuss over the proposal. I would want him to just ask.

"Soo..about that whole "forever" thing. Wanna make that happen? " <- I'd actually say yes to that and probably cry tears of joy at some point.

So I guess I would say I am old fashioned bc I would never propose to him. He would definitely have to take that step :P Easy to say he has definitely been dropping hints

[AllieBaba]

I have to agree and say that I'm a bit old fashioned, I want him to propose We've talked about it already and the reason why we're in this relationship is because we want to spend the rest of our lives together so to him it's no surprise what my answer will be.. it's just about finding the right time to do it...

"Soo..about that whole "forever" thing. Wanna make that happen? " <- I'd actually say yes to that and probably cry tears of joy at some point.

If my SO said that, I'd be obligated to say "fo shizzle."
I have a feeling that unless I just nod and say "Of course," I'm gonna ruin the "moment." Lol.

Aw, hopeless romantic.... that's me
I'm not saying that we couldn't discuss the possibility beforehand... on the contrary, we should! marriage is a pretty big deal.
I just really really want the proposal itself to be a down-on-one-knee surprise^^
I'm not traditional in every sense, though.. for example, I'd think it a biiiiiit boring to have the proposal at a restaurant or something like that..

And btw: No ring in ANY type of beverage or dessert, haha.. that trick wouldn't work on me at ALL -.- it's a bit too movie-like.
- plus, with my luck I'm sure I'd accidentally end up swallowing the damn thing jeez..

THAT!!!
i agree with everything you said.
well, i never even considered marrying before i met my SO, but i always thought that the perfect marriage proposal is the down on one knee thingy. so its what i would like for me. but i would rather have it at our home, after a normal but nice night, like i want the rest of my life with him to be.
but yes, what i mean is, when it comes the day, he will have the one to do the proposing, or such proposal will never exist

Traditionally, the man, but that is because women did not have a lot of power of choice in other eras. I am a bit of a romantic, so while it is perfectly fine for the girl to propose (and I have several female friends who have done the proposing) I wanted Aaron to, and am so glad he did

[Nicks Valentine]

Old Fashioned Way, Man asking.

[PucasKitten]

I would want him to propose -blushes- I guess im old fashion like that, though if I got impatient I would prolly do it myself but we have already discussed it some I doubt It will take us long for it to happen <3 we laid down some pre-requisites though before it were to happen just so we don't rush into it like I'm sure we want to and the asking the dad thing would be cute but my Da would prolly scare him lol

[MeeshaLenee]

Well, I'm like a lot of other people on here--I prefer that my SO do the proposing, but when it comes right down to it, I'm okay with proposing myself. Or us entering into an engagement after a discussion about it.... *shrugs*

My SO is pretty traditional, he wants to wait till he can get down on one knee and ask me to marry him, so no proposals over the internet for me! :P

[prinzeza87]

we already decided will marry, i gave him a ring and we both have it n he took it as a promise ring n i agree with the idea, so when the day comes it would be his turn to propose, i want him to surprise me n he know it lol....

[OliveOyl]

in my SO's culture the Woman's Family Negotiates the marriage and pays for the wedding. jaja. but I told him that was never going to happen. he has to ask for my parents permission...lol....we did go and pick out promise rings together though. So he should know my style. I really want the proposal to be a surprise. lol he knows i would've married him the second night I knew him. lol.

[xopookie]

My SO and I ... just kinda agreed on getting engaged.
No romantic, movie-like proposal. XD Too bad.
But, yes I do kinda also like the old fashioned thing, where the guy proposes. And at least it was my SO who took the initiative to discuss the idea of an engagement.

Aww how nice! ... well usually I'm a no non sense kick yo butt chica! KEE YA that put you in the coffin chick BAM ok but I mean after being with my SO for 4 years... I'm surprised to say that I'm going to be doing the proposing because after being with him and stuff I'm really in love with him and well if the time comes I would actually propose. I feel like my feelings are strong that I'd rather be single than not be with him. My love is so strong for him. But I'm not going to be thinking about marriage until I'm in my 30's got some stuff to take care of. Plus when I'm married, I want to raise a family and I wanna achieve goals that'll make my kids proud . But I mean honestly, I don't see nothing wrong with a female proposing. If she feels strongly about it and is truly in love but waits for the right time to do it like have a good set of finances, and secured her goals than I say go for it!

[xopookie]

But of course, I'll do the proposal in private. I don't want people looking at me funny and whispering being like "Hey, he should be proposing not her!" lol

[sandymaxy]

Well my boyfriend and I have talked about marriage several times now, and we've decided that he will propose. He knows what my answer will be. <3 It's just we need to find the right time, and I trust him that he will be able to. I did got emotional talking about the subject last year because I wanted him to propose to me then.

I find it so romantic just thinking about when he propose. I want it to be a surprise, and knowing us, it probably will be a surprise. It's not that we are old-fashion... maybe we are, but we just think it's so meaningful and it will be nice to be old-fashion once in a while, since it's the other way around for us or some things. I don't really care how he does it, I just know I will be so touched and start crying like a baby. :P

It's gonna be a while before he does propose. We're still so young after all.

Oh, and when he asked me if I didn't mind if I proposed, I said I didn't, but prefer if he did it. We are both romantics, anyway. <3

[WakeUpSusie]

I don't know... maybe this is my traditional side coming out but I think it would be a bit odd for a girl to propose to a guy. Just my opinion.

I definitely want the down-on-one-knee, romantic proposal
