That was yesterday, February 8, but l am posting this today because yesterday my internet connection was down for most of the day.
Propose day: the day designated for recognition and awareness of love, relationships, commitments and of course proposals. In fact, many decide to pop the question on that day.
Talking about proposals. - Do you remember the day or night your partner proposed? Did you expect it and did you accept immediately?
Do you think it is proper for a woman to propose to a man? - if not , why not?
And men, how would you feel about a woman who takes the bold step of proposing to you?
Happy Valentine's Day when it comes.

I do remember when I got my proposal (almost 57 years ago). I accepted immediately and we were married a few short months later.

You are going to laugh as only probably my first husband proposed actually in a proper manner.
The rest just dragged me there

I've never known there was a propose day but now I know.
I think a man should be the one to propose and not the woman. This is because it is better for a man to willingly commit to the relationship than be forced to commit.
Although I've read stories of successful relationships that started with the woman proposing.

@Kandae11 Asking someone out is easy and gives them courage to ask you out too next time. Proposing is really a big deal. Men should do it

How is asking a man to marry you forcing them to commit? They can always say NO if a woman proposes just like a woman to a man.

I proposed to both of my ex-wives... and neither one of them was in February.
And yes, I've been proposed to by two women. I turned them both down... very gently.

@Kandae11 I backed quickly away from the first woman and ran screaming from the second.
Actually, I thanked them both and explained I wasn't getting married ever again

I didn't know about this day.
Yes, I remember the day, hour, and moment of the proposal and my immediate reaction. A couple of days later, after I thought about it, I told him no. A couple of months later, I told him yes. Looking back, I should have stuck with my first decision. Though I wouldn't have the children I do. There's a reason for everything. But that's not your topic. It's the reaction.
I would feel uncomfortable proposing to the man. I would fear it would backfire and make me look like a fool. I was also brought up to believe the man asked the woman, not the other way around.

Well said. About the proposal , you didn't say yes immediately. Two days later after thinking about it you told him no. I suppose there was some pressure from him ( men don't like to be turned down) so after a couple of months you gave in and accepted.
Your were unsure from the beginning, but that's life - sometimes we go forward and hope for the best.

My Aunt proposed to my Uncle when it was considered improper and my uncle was ollllllld fashioned back then. He gladly accepted and they're still together over 35 years later... My dad proposed to my mum and they divorced. Ladies get down on one knee and propose if you think it is time if the person you are proposing to throws a fit because you had the audacity to ask them to marry you it means they feel immasculated and you need to pick yourself up and leave immediately
