Proposal by text !?!?!

sorry but that seems pretty lame to me to do it this way. to me it is like firing someone via text. obviously, the person has no guts to face the person. i am like you, i prefer the old fashioned way. it sure is way more romantic! imagine telling your kids that their father proposed via text! lol!

i want that he asks me in person^^ by text isnt romantic at all. actually i think if a guy proposes to a girl by text then he doesnt want to marry her. thats a nonsense for sure. im someone that likes technologies but there are things that cant be surpassed. we all need romance^^ and whats better than a guy on his knee asking a girl to marry him? thats super sweet and super romantic^^ i really dont understand how he could propose by text. or refuse a proposal by text.

No, I wouldn't necessarily accept a proposal via text. I might accept one if say I got a text saying "look in the cookie jar" or "in the silverware drawer" and I looked and there was a ring.. a sort of "hey look here.." type thing and then I turn around the guy is behind me on one knee.. but just plain "will you marry me?" via text, no thanks...

Back when I was in school we didn't have cellphones and texts and all that, but I remember me and my group of friends were completely against any guys who tried to ask us out in a note or over the phone. We felt that they needed to have the nerve and desire to ask us out face to face. So now in this digital age I think it's the same thing. A guy needs to have the nerve to speak to a woman face to face, and especially a marriage proposal. That is something that should be romantic and planned, not spur of the moment over the phone. As for asking the parents blessing.. that's not something I feel is important these days. Yes if a girl is close to her parents she should have their approval before the wedding, but I don't think that means they need to give the guy permission to propose. We live in a different era where women are far more valued and aren't considered property anymore. In the olden days she was property of her parents until she was married, then she was property of her husband.

There are just some circumstances that call for a face to face connection. I think that a mariage proposal deserves mor consideration than just to have a text response. We should have more respect for the one we want to share a love with than to just give a simeple txt where no emotions are betrsyed,. It is alsmost as if you give something but leave the door open when it foes not go your way. A marriage proposal does need to be more personal. save the texting for a personal message instead.

Oh gosh, that's too funny. I wouldn't want my boyfriend to propose to me through a text message. I'd rather he do it the old fashioned way by getting down on one knee and asking me. People are too caught up in all this technology. I know my boyfriend plans on proposing soon and I know he's going to do it in person. In the past, he's texted me things like marry me and stuff like that, but it wasn't like he was asking me for real, he was just saying those things because he really does want to get married but he wants to do the real thing in person.

Getting married is a very big issue. So the proposal is also important. It is quite informal for a person to propose by text. It is more like a joke in my opinion. I still prefer to the tradition so that I know it is real. And I also need the surprise and excitement and this memory will leave in my mind forever. I love China

Something like that should be in person....not in a text...not if they really meant it. If I got a text like that I would think they were just yanking my chain.

I dont have a problem with a person breaking up with someone else via a text message but for someone to propose to someone else via a text message. It would not show much thought to do something like that. It should wait until the couple is together and then the guy can propose to her in person and make her happy and hug and kiss her. I would feel very slighted if someone asked me to marry them over the phone or through email or a text message etc.

What a jerk! He's probably the same guy who texts his wife to tell her he's leaving her for another woman. lol. Not funny but just trying to lighten it up. I am a very traditional and old fashioned person. And a marriage proposal should be handled alittle better than by a text. What a cheap skate!

I may be old fashion, in fact I am old. But I want to look a person in the face to make sure the communication is clear when making any committment, like marriage. A text justdoen't do it for me any more than a hand written letter would have when I was younger.

I would turn that down too. No way, Jose. I am not THAT old fashioned but that is just beyond ridiculous. Takes the romance right out of the proposal! Gah! I would turn them down too! Maybe not necessarily a "traditional" proposal - I think it's often cool when the guys (or gals) get creative and romantic by surprising them with unexpected proposals. Can't think of an example on hand, though.

I believe something as big and significant like proposal should be done face to face. This will show hoe committed the guy is and the effect goes instantly. This can really strengthen the relationship of a couple as these are important memories to be remembered and cherished throughout their lives. The same goes to confessing love. My friend did it via sms, while I insisted to do it in a humanize way.

Any sort of proposal is a serious thing. How much more when it comes to marriage proposal. As for me, proposing via text is a kind of a big joke. There is no sincerity in there and it feels like I'm a bit insulted and of no value to him. Technology is not an excuse for me. I would be turned off if my guy would propose via text. He sound so silly, arrogant, or maybe he still need a little more growing up. He'd rather not do that.

I think it totally depends on the situation. What if my intended was stationed in Iraq, or something, and the best way to get the message to me was viat text message? However, if he and I were in the same place, it would be pretty tacky.

we live in a whole new world now that we have internet. I am of the old school and would not accept a proposal by email or internet. Now if the person lived out of the country I think I might I am not sure but I would rather a telephone call at least.

I think there's less of the parental blessing, but I agree that at least being asked in person is necessary!

I think so too. There are just some things that should be done in person. There would be no way I accepted a proposal by text. It would make me feel like they didn't even have time to propose face to face..what would a marriage be like?

What person would think of a proposal through text? This is just insane and a very sure fire way of getting rejected.

Proposal by text is not at all good. Traditional marriage relationships only good and long lasting. So I Like only the traditional marriage relationships.
