Is it okay for a women to propose to a man?

Yes, you are correct. Gone are the days when women should act demure and men should be on their knees with roses. If we women are to expect equal rights in everything, then we should not feel hesitant in matters of love. Even I had proposed first to my hubby (then bf) and we are now together for 11 long years, more as friends than as couple.

No, i think it's not okay. That the man should propose to the woman. It will be funny when the woman propose to the man. It's tradition that the man propose to the woman. So what the woman will give to a man at the propose time, flowers?, ring?, No, it's absolutely not okay.

We're living in a modern world where there's not so much a difference between male and female anymore. I have friends who confessed to the guys they love before and some of them are getting married soon. Although I must admit I've yet to know a girl who actually propose, I don't see it as anything wrong. If you're afraid or shy, then maybe you can drop some very serious hints or ask your family members to help out. Dropping hints can be quite straightforward and I'm sure the guy will get it.

I think it certainly is OK for a woman to propose to a man. I asked my husband out many years ago and he said "yes" so asking a man to marry you sure sounds OK to me. If you talk about marriage first it will give you a rough idea of what he really wants. Some men just need a little push I think.

I think you did the right thing Its always hard to know what the other person is thinking I commend you for your effort but make sure is always mutual.

I really find no harm in a woman proposing a man as long as there is a bond of love in between them....... infact it reflects d true bond of relationship between them..... Keep loving & mylotting :)

Yes I think its okay and think thats how it should be. I mean why does the men have to do all the work. It seems like the man have to be the first one to talk and then the first one to ask out the girl then he has to be the one to propose. I wouldnt mind if a girl proposed to me I wouldnt feel embarased.

Dear friend, In my opinion I do agree it is okay for a women to propose to a man. May be the man would be waiting for the as in your case. Hence if both of them love each other and if both do not like to propose I hope that loving would be hidden and would go in another way. Hence I feel if you anyone like other even if it is girl or boy proposing is some thing opening up one heart to other. But if there is any probability of not accepting that proposal I hope it has be though twice or well before proposing.

i think as for me, it should be the guy who should and must make the first move. he should take into considerations the things that is needed and essential for life.. guys should do the first move. girls should and must patiently wait. and of course, guys should be sensitive too to know the feeling of the other. so as not to spoil the patience of the women.. i still hold on to the tradition which is highly and really effective.. and most of all, it is holds the magic.. hehe

There are cultures in which women are not supposed to propose to a man. If you belong to one of these cultures and you want to hang on tight to its values then what you did may have created frowns in the elders. As for me I have nothing against women proposing to a man. My religion allows it. There are cases where a man would not dare to propose to a woman. An example would be when the man is poor and the woman is rich, or the woman has a higher formal education level. In my case my present spouse made the first move. Even though she had certain reasons which I only found out much later, we are still together after 27 years. all the best, rosdimy

I am a male if a woman propose to me it does not make me less a man but that is just my thoughts. I think it's really sexy been propose to by a woman i just could'nt say no. That's just my views thanks.

I agree with you completely ..i man if he proposes too early may look like a freak and if he takes a little more time then he may be disqualified as a non-suitor..the best scenario is teh one where the female gives indications to the man so that he gets the assuarance to come close and be intimate...the problem might occur when either one or both are uncapable of communicating their feeling to the other...

yes why not if she really loves him ,then there is no harm in propsing first rather than to wait for the other person

Of course is it okay for a woman to propose to a man. Why wouldn't it be? Women are somewhat ;) equal to men, so it is all the same. Although, it is known for gentlemens' to propose, since it's charming and all that.

yeah...its ok....without propose how can some one know about ...there is any feeling or not

There is nothing wrong with a women proposing to a man. Years ago it was unheard of a women to ask a guy out on a date much less propose to him. Things are different now and I think it is for the better. Why should it be only the guys that let a women know that they are interested. I am glad that things have turned around so that if a women sees a guy she is interested in she lets him know. Same thing on the proposing. I don't think it should matter who does the proposing. If the feelings are there than it shouldn't matter who asks who.

Personally I really vote for a woman to make direct proposal to the man. However, like what you did, I guess it's ok to make the initiative in talking about future plans including marraige, nothing's wrong with that. Traditionally it's still quite rewarding in a relationship for the man to propose first to the woman but it still depends on the maturity and intesity of the relationship.

I think there is not anything wrong in proposing a anybody who you are in love with. Both male and female fall in love. So who told that only the male folk have the right to express that feeling of love? Female may also want to disclose the love for a male.

We can't help that some women still play hard-to-get if they feel that they can keep their dignity intact that way. And some men actually prefer something which gives them quite a challenge. Sort of a guessing game whether the girl really likes him or not. Whatever really suits people. For me, I was kind of shy too and really waited for my guy to say his stuff before I said mine. We are kind of old-fashioned so we stick to the traditions really. But it didn't mean I was immature for not telling him first.

love should come from our heart ,it doesn't matter whether men or woman propose first.i think what you did is correct ,your bf too had the same feeling but he may not have the guds to reveal it ,thinking that what you may feel.and it might have remained in his mind.this may have led to some wrong decision.so i appreciate you for this . just remember that love above every think.
