Woman proposing to the man

Del, on January 23, 2016 at 12:09 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 62

How do you guys feel about the girl proposing to the guy?

Are there any girls here who actually proposed to their guys? If so, how was it received?

    I personally don't care, but I wouldn't do it.

    DF on the other hand would have probably been embarrassed and felt incredibly emasculated by something like that, but I know him well enough to know that.

    I almost proposed to my FH but simply put, he beat me to it. We picked my ring out together and one of us was going to ask at some point. He just did it first Smiley smile

    Where's CatsBonin! She proposed to her DH!

    I think it's completely fine for the girl to propose! I really don't see a difference. The only time I have a problem with it is if the girl is doing it because the guy isn't ready yet. Before anyone proposes, everyone should be on the same page.

    I did!!!

    To be fair- he already proposed and I'm also a seriously into equality. I felt like it was super important to him to propose (I didn't care honestly- I was happy to go wedding band shopping with him- but he wanted to propose)

    So after the first proposal- we sent that ring back- and we agreed for a do-over- I cried half the night and then he got me a vagina ring.

    We ordered the new ring together and he said he would surprise me. So in the mean time- I got him a ring and planned a surprise trip to Niagara Falls- and paid my friend to come down from Canada to be a surprise photographer. Ironically he had plans to propose the following day anyway- where he took me horse back riding and re proposed.

    Win Win- we have awesome stories.

    Whatever works for you, I would never do it. I have always viewed it as the man's place to ask.

    It depends on you and your guy. If you're both comfortable with it, go for it! If it would be uncomfortable for either of you, don't.

    I don't think my FH would have liked that very much. But he would have dealt with it. Haha.

    FH would feel that I emasculated him if I proposed. We discussed marriage openly all the time and we aren't very traditional but I knew this was one tradition important to him. He also wanted to pay for and pick out the ring entirely on his own (I make more money and we share finances somewhat because we've been living together for a while and own a home together). I think as long as you talk about it and are on the same page it's fine either way.

    I think it depends on the couple. I think my FH would not have liked that, he may have felt emasculated by it. Plus, I've always wanted to be on the receiving end of the proposal. That being said, we had already discussed marriage at great length beforehand, so of course I played a big role in causing the engagement to happen (as opposed to more of a "surprise" proposal.)

    Whatever works for you! I knew it was important to my FH though. He wouldn't have been mad if I did, he just really wanted to.

    It was a garnet marquis cut ring- so it was <> shaped.

    technically a labia ring- but vagina was funnier.

    UO, it makes me sad that some men would feel 'emasculated' by this.

    Whatever floats your boat and works for your relationship. In my relationship, proposing to him would not go over well.

    It depends on the couple! FH said he would've definitely felt emasculated. FH would've been so embarrassed that he'd probably bolt outta there, and never returned!
