If that possible I will ask the permission of the parents because is a kind of respect to them...

Asking parents or to inform about the relationship is a kind of respect and this is also a kind of good custom

yes sure^^ is more romantic also ^^ and sure i know that your country is traditional yet^^ you value family much^^ even some families all live together with father, mother, daughters, sons, the husbands of the daughters^^ right?^^ like all family in one house^^ that happens there right? at least i heard before about some families that are like that^^

yes sure it shows respect^^ im happy that you would ask your gf parents^^ but you would ask her also right?^^ before ask them. bcs she could be angry with you if you didnt ask her first or she couldnt want to marry. we never know. so you better talk with her first and then ask her parents if she says yes^^ thats what you will do right?^^

My bf already asked me to marry him many times already but i said no, it's not yet time. Maybe in the right time i will say yes. He understands anyway. Since i haven't said yes yet, he hasn't opened it up to my parents yet. He already planned on asking my parents because it has always been practiced here in our country to ask for the hands of the daughter first before getting married.

Yes we are away now. We are not yet sure when he will be coming back so we are hoping he can save money fast so he can come back really soon. I prefer not to get married yet because i want us to have a stable job first and be able to sustain a married life and stand on our own without the help of our parents.

sorry that you dont know when he is coming back =( i guess that makes you sad. anyway im sure he can come back soon if he can save enough money^^ in what country is he? sure is normal that you want to find a stable job first so then can handle your life without parents^^ i understand you^^ anyway you know if he is away why dont you also try to go to other country and earn more? a friend of mine that live in phillipines she went to an agency there in pinas and she found a job as babysitter in dubai and she will receive much money :) she is going to help her family. she will be there for 2 years and then will come back. why dont you try to see? bcs if your bf dont come back to you for now maybe you also could try to work abroad =) the agency pays your trip and all :)) you just have to pay your inscription i guess but i guess isnt that much :)

Hello sweet, Of course, it would be romantic to asked the girl to walked down the isle. but it would be too awkward to asked the parents to marry her that will leave her speech less asked the girl first, then after that asked the parents. we have that "pamanhikan" tradition here. whereas the parents of the boy and girl will talk.

yes i meant ask the girl first and then the parents^^ not the parents without ask to the girl^^ but i meant not just ask her^^ if ask to parents too is more cute^^ but just if the girl says yes^^ anyway the parents of the boy and the girl talk? thats good^^ that way they know each other better and the families can have a good relation^^

My bf asked me to marry him, he did not talk to my parents before proposing. In my country, it is not the tradition to talk to the parents first anymore, so I think it was fine, but I guess it depends on where you are from as well...

I think it's not that important anymore. what if the girl has no knowledge of the proposal and then all of a sudden the guy just proposed with out the girls knowledge. also in my country that too is becoming a trend.

pucca thats cute that in your country thats not a big thing^^ and that he asked only you^^ but in some countries thats important to ask parents too^^ is sweet but first he should ask the girl in a more romantic way ahah maybe a cute dinner ahah bcs just in front of the parents isnt really that romantic ahah^^ letran i didnt mean he ask just to her parents. i meant ask the girl and ask the parents. first the girl sure and then if she says yes he asks the parents too^^ just to be more cute ahah^^ but in your country that happens still right?^^ i think ^^

Well about me I never asked but my family and and my lovers family had a program of having dinner together so there in all fun my lover's father simply told just to tease me that after these children finish their education we will get them married and me and my lover just ignored it though we felt happy but it was just taken as a joke in the family...

thats cute that your parents and your gf parents had dinner together^^ and that her father said that when you finish college both can marry^^ even as a joke i guess he meant in reality too^^ but maybe is a bit early for you to marry bcs you are with her since only 6 monthes right? so maybe is a bit early ^^ maybe you should be together for more time^^ also maybe you should find a job first^^ unless your both families are rich and money isnt a problem for you both to marry^^

Well we don't need to care about money as we both are born with a golden spoon and we both are rich enough and I don't need to find a job my father has his own factory and his own business which is now handled by me so I don't need to worry about money and even my girlfriends father is rich so she doesn't need to worry.......
