Even in 2018, this isn't a very popular thing for women to do. I personally don't see a problem with women or men proposing to their significant other no matter the gender. My boyfriend and I have this thing where he ask me when I am buying him ring & proposing (on one knee, of course) to him. I told him when I propose him is when he knows I'm serious about marriage and then he can propose to me on one knee and all that jazz. We always laughed about it because neither of us is ready for marriage right now.
Recently, I have started to look at rings for him and would like to have one and planning on proposing before the end of next year. I really think he is the one. I know it was always a joke about me proposing to him first but I think at this point it would be a sweet/cute and fun thing to do for him given our relationship.
What our your thoughts on who should propose to who?

You don't have to be rich to get married or propose.

What is behind getting on one knee while proposing? Why not just sit down? Why can't they discuss it and see how they feel and if they are ready to marry?

Well you should discuss it before actually going through with it. The only way you know what you both want is to talk about it. The whole getting bon one knee thing is tradition for some. I don't know the story behind it but like a lot of traditions people just continue them because that's what they are. Some people do just sit at a table and do it and some just stand. In my case it is just a joke we do and we always include the getting on one knee because that's what people do when they propose normally specially in all those silly romcom movies.

Well in your situation I think he wants to get married, that is why he is hinting to find out if you are ready, No man wants to be turned down after spilling his guts like that.
Do it!
But for women to just ask and not be for sure, naaaaa. I would not do it or recommend to do it.

It was a running joke we have had because we have had the marriage talk in the past and we both know we weren't ready at those times. It was just something we joked about but we are more seriously talking about it now. That is why I think it would something cute & different to do & he'll know for sure then that I an ready for it.

I am a traditionalist and believe that the man should propose. How a gay couple (of either gender) decide who proposes is a bit of a puzzle to me. If you feel comfortable proposing to your man then go ahead. Good luck!
