Is it ok for a girl to propose to a guy?

This is totally up to the person. Some girls still hold to tradition. Some say they will ask as they love this guy. And be really some guys won't ask for the fear of being told, "no'. Well the girls do have the same problem. It's the same about asking them out on a date. This was typically the man that did this. Woman must work to make the family life easier for all concerned. They have a lot of responsibility, why not also have some of the rewards in all aspects of life. Woman before took care of the children and home. But it was a thankless duty. Guys feel it's their job. These things are also done by men now as times have changes. It should be mutual and equal responsibilities and rewards.

i wont propose to a guy.but i'l give him enough hints to understand the i like him.if he likes me,he'l propose me.if he doesnt it wil be fine wid me.i want a guy to propose me wid ring n roses n bent on his knees n stuffs.

I don't see why it shouldn't be, after all you need to know just where you stand and if you want marriage and this relationship is not leading that way you need to know.

I think it totally depends on the couple. I dont know if I would want to propose to a guy because I am a closet romantic, and want the roses, ring, and him on his knee. I think now a days, its more a agreement that people come to, to get married, then it is a proposal. I think people mutually decide they are going to get married, rather than accepting a proposal.

its absolutely fine for a girl to express a feeling, atleast she will get a clear picture in mind about what the guys thinks about her. by not doing so, i hope she may not regret for life for not having the guts to speak up.

I dont see anything wrong with a girl proposing to a guy. Its not a mans world anymore so why not.. I think it takes a certain type of girl to propose. She needs to be strong and independent. Most girls would probably want the guy to propose. I know that I wanted my husband to propose.

I don't see anything wrong with the girl asking the guy, but I am secretly a biiiiig romantic, and would want my boyfriend to propose to me. I'd want the diamond ring, him down on one knee... I'd want the excitement of showing people my ring, telling people that he'd proposed etc, as shallow as that might sound! But I know couples where the girl has proposed to the guy :)

i think its ok.. its not for me though.. i had had 1 or 2 exs before my husband propose and they totally didnt mean it so i needed it to be the guy to do it so that i knew i was thinking we were more serious than we were.. i think if i had done it i would always wonder if he felt the same amount of love for me and wonder why he didnt do it first

it's strange that in all other aspects of life most women insist on equality however when it comes to romance they insist it is the mans job to do the running and do the romantic gestures .. like proposing :) I am a modern man in my outlook and I think if a woman feels strongly enough then she has just as much right to propose as the guy .. tradition is fast becoming an outdated idea. I don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing ..

I might sound very old-fashioned but I think men are supposed to be the one propose to girl traditionally. In our home country, way back to 2000 years old, women cannot say "I want to marry to somebody!" unless the men propose it to the women's family and they are compatible to be together. I personally think men should be the one to propose to women and put on the ring on her finger. I wish I had this experience but I didn't and it is such a huge regret in my life.

yes time have changed.so why can;t girl propose. she can express her own feeling,after all she is also a human being,she has also right to tell . and she has also feelings . as i am lady , i feel good if any lady proposes first to a guy .this is good change in this world. If the man is liberal enough then the lady can ask him for marriage but that would also depend on how long you have courted and how much you know each other.

As you have stated, times have changed and the roles that girls assume in a society have also undergone a lot of change. Thus, I see no wrong in a girl proposing a guy. It has happened a lot here in India, though largely it will still be men proposing women rather than the other way round.

Cheers agrim!! well, why not. that's the society nowadays. It grows in complexity and diversity. Everybody can do everything regardless of gender. Moreover, it is a discretion of all to express their feelings in that way since there's no way around to show it. It's also nice to have someone being open. At least she was able to express herself although there's no success result in it. Happy mylotting.

I think is the same ,It only depend on the love. Love can be the strength pull the person to do anything they could so ,why can't for the propose? girl or guy ,not so important ,just go ahead,because love!

I think it's okay for a girl to propose to a guy. If the girl really love the guy, it is not a matter for the girl to be the one who more initiatively.But personally,I won't do so to any guy.Firstly,I'm too shy to do so. Besides, I love romantic things, I want to have the romance that each girl can gain in her life. I hope I can enjoy the happiness of being proposed from the guy I love.

Hi, agrim94! It is okay, but it looks better for a man to propose to a woman. That is how I feel about it. It seems like the woman is too needy for a man when she proposes to him. But, what can I say, when you are in love, you are in love.. Do as they wish!!

I don't see why not. My husband proposed to me and I did enjoy that but I think if he hadn't I probably would have done it myself. I don't know if I would have got down on one knee or anything like that though! I know my husband wouldn’t have minded. Some guys are a little funny about it because they like to be the one to do it; they should get with the times, things have changed!

I think for a woman to propose it is totally up to her. But men usually are the ones who are not ready and by them proposing it insures that the relationship is ready to go to the next step. I once considered being the one to propose. I panicked. I rather wait untill a man gets down and does the deed.

I don't see anything wrong with the girl proposing to a guy, as long as they love each other and they respect one another. Right now with modern times what a guy can do it can be done also by a girl.

Fantastic discussion by the way. I am not too sure to be honest, as i think it all depends how the relationship is really, i would prefer the man to propose more, as it seems more real and special if you know what i mean, and it shows he is committed to you and everything. Also, i hardly even hear of women proposing to men, it just doesn't seem right for some reason, but a man proposing to a woman just goes nicely, if you get me, abit hard to explain really.
