What would you do if your girlfriend proposed?

[Hidden_P]

[NourSy]

This is kind of weird I just read a news today about the 29th of Feb being as a day in which girls propose to their loved ones

To me I believe that it is going to be predictable since girls give a lot of hints rather than saying whatever the thing is in ur face so I wouldn't make it reach to a point where she gets on her knees and ask me for my hand instead I would do that if I really want her or drift away and if I failed I would definitely be happy and appreciate her!

Now I guess that everyone wants to feel special even if it is something that the society doesn't buy but at the end of the day, deep down they will feel on top of the world.
There is something about most of the men that I believe girls take for granted is that when the opposite side gives a full range of expression girls do start playing games even if they like the boy but men wouldn't. Not saying they are angels but they just don't

[Azara]

you are saying if men express themselves women play games? the question is about women expressing themselves and men reacting. some guys are saying they'd say no even if they would've asked themselves.

[Married-in-PA]

Mademoiselle,

Does the Horse ride the Jockey? Does the moon dictate when the Sun Rises? Does the Ocean when the Tide should come in?

Let your man ask you, when you are ready. This is Natural in every way. A Knight should ask a Lady for her hand. To provide for her, and protect her, as her Father would have done, when he is ready and able to do so.

It would be bad form otherwise.

[hazoplmeught]

i totally agree with you, i dont want a girl to propose to me. Like is she the man in the situation? My family would not like that either which would make matters worse.

[Noxifer626]

I think you need to go back to the 12th century...

[hazoplmeught]

@Noxifer626 wtf you talkin about. I want to be the man in my relationship. Im not saying women aren't allowed to do the same things as men in many areas, but proposing is not her job. It makes you look weak as a man

[Noxifer626]

@hazoplmeught Well, that's what you think. I think being strong or being weak doesn't matter. We are all weak at some times and strong at some others. Pretending otherwise is foolish.

[hazoplmeught]

@Noxifer626 media.salon.com/.../...cline_of_the_modern_man.jpg
id rather be strong than weak.. this shows we are two different strands of men. Strong men vs Weak men

[Noxifer626]

@hazoplmeught You're talking about physical strength. Maybe that was important in the 12th century, but what about now? I think being buff but emotionally unstable is worse than being scrawny but emotionally stable.

[hazoplmeught]

@Noxifer626 i obviously wasn't talking about physical, but mental The picture was there to make a visual reference. this just shows your immaturity. im done with this conversation

[ThatNiceGuy]

Sooo much sexism in this thread

[Banimalshmanimal]

If a guy wants to have a traditional relationship, let him! There are PLENTY of girls out there who want the same. There is nothing wrong with wanting tradition. And there is nothing wrong with not wanting it. I like tradition and so does my husband. If both people agree on the values then no one else has the right to throw in their 2 cents on what the fuck goes on in your relationship

[Azara]

its bad for for the guy to think a grown woman is his child.

by the way the horse carries the jockey without horses there were not jockies. without the ocean there's no tide.

[Azara]

#Married in PA

I'm just curious bc i often see Guys tell Women guys don't like to be pressured, as if they are imparting some obscure little understood wisdom... Do you think Women like to be pressured? Do you think any human being enjoys being pressured? Its not less stressful to be asked s a Woman, Women just don't complain about it. Ad if you want to be together then stressful or not, the answer will be yes. If either of you are not ready, you will wait until you are. Thats what engagement is for.

[Married-in-PA]

@Azara I do not think of my wife as a Child. In fact, she is a great Mother to my (Grown) children... What I am trying to say is that Marriage is a serious commitment. Too many people take it lightly, as if its some "fashionable thing to do".

The vow is for LIFE. "Until death do us part"? Not a "bad fight", Not "Well, I want to move on"... No. for LIFE.

There is a reason a Father walks a Lady to his Man, and it's to show the World that she is YOUR responsibility now... be she as independent or not.

[93stepsawayfromhome]

The 1500s are that way.

[Protagoras]

Jesus Christ, it's 2016, these analogies are ridiculous.

[hazoplmeught]

@Noxifer626 @Protagoras @Banimalshmanimal @Azara @93stepsawayfromhome i think this became so funny because some radio show told this girl to propose to her man and he rejected her (not on radio but in person later that day, she told the radio that she got rejected) LOLOL. If he dnt propose and you want him to. Leave. I was sitting with some other guys i never spoke about this with and he said he wouldn't want a girl propose to him. In fact the "manly men" said yes and no one said no. Sorry but "strong men" dont be want to be proposed to.

[Married-in-PA]

@hazoplmeught Thanks, this is the way it should be

[Noxifer626]

@hazoplmeught I don't think you get it. People aren't "strong" or "weak". We all have moments of weakness and moments of strength.

[Mustachekitteh]

Welp I was the first to ask him if he wanted to be in a relationship with me. So i guess I should be the one to do that as well. Though I don't think I could keep a straight face while asking. If that ever crosses my mind down the road. Mainly since I suck horrible at trying to ask anything that serious. I would probably end up cracking under how nervous I would be. Then do something extremely silly and goofy by how I would ask. :D

Just thinking about it feels kind of weird. Mainly due to how serious that kind of thing seems.

[Afro-dite9]

we'll i'd be surprised as shit cause i don't have a girlfriend so where did this mystery bitch come from lol. It's not a big deal if she did If i was a guy i wouldn't care and if i was into vagina literally lol same applies. y'all should want the same if not move on but don't rush it either. Namaste

[kdizzleforizzle91]

This would have been a nice pole... If I were in a relationship that was getting serious, I'd ask the guy's thoughts on it before considering doing the asking. I don't have a preference of who would make the proposal.

[Aizou]

Neither of us are Christian, and I don't feel like I need a paper to prove our love.

The only reason I'd marry at all, is if she really wanted to
so if she proposed, I don't see why not. I'd give her a wonderful wedding
getting married only means that we want to stay together, it's not like we're
planning kids.. yet. ^.^

[YourFutureEx]

So, in normal case, you don't want to get married?
If yes, then why not? It's not strictly a religious thing. It's just a celebration and an occasion to remember.

[Aizou]

@YourFutureEx It's not that I don't want to, rather than I don't need to
I see it like having a party "just because we can".

But I wouldn't say no if she wanted.

[sawno]

Get a spontanious headace.

I am to young to marry and not willing to for a few years, but i'd certainly want to be with her. So i'd need a really good think about it, ill probably reject it in the end explaining why i want to wait and ensuring her that from the moment we got together i did it with the intentions of staying together forever.

[dogbert444]

If I was in a position to accept, then that's what I'd do. I'm sure it would have been discussed way before, so that we can be sure we're compatible.

Of course, I might beat her to it and ask her myself. it doesn't matter a damn who asks. it's the end result that counts!!

[Prettygurl12]

If August rolls around... I may be doing just that :p

[Married-in-PA]

Don't jump the gun, and don't underestimate a young man's love.

If you truly want some insight, men are hard on the outside, but very sensitive on the inside. It's why we say stupid things when we are drunk... "I love you man... No, I LOVE YOU MAN". LOL

Hint: Don't pressure him. Men hate that... I have been married for almost 21 years, I have made so many mistakes, it's crazy.

I am not saying you should sit there until you are an Old Maid, but give your boy a chance to catch up to you in maturity.

In any case, you should be enjoying every moment with him, hopely.

[Prettygurl12]

@Married-in-PA lol it's been 4 and a half years. He has been dropping some heavy hints about a July proposal. Ergo... if August rolls around and nada then I'll do it lol

[Married-in-PA]

I love your comment, "If August rolls around, then Nada, I'll do it". Laughing out loud (in a good way).

You make it sound like a play option in Football... if you can't find a man open to throw to, you are just going for the QB sneak, you'll take the damn ball across the goal line yourself, if you have to. LOL

[Anonymous]

Depends on if I'm ready or not. If I'm ready for marriage I wouldn't care and would be surprised but happy. I'd probably do something surprising and special for her in return. If I wasn't ready I'd ask to think about it say thank you a ton then later try and have a discussion in private.

[SunDevil11]

If we had talked about marriage and agreed upon it happening then she proposed I would not be against it! I would probably be shocked and nervous, but I would say yes :D
(although personally I would like to propose)

[aggressivebunny]

I don't see my current girlfriend as a girl that I want to marry. Its just the way its, its not clicking, maybe not now or maybe in the future.

Id have 2 choices, say yes or run away from the scene. If I say no, Id get slapped in the face.

[Prettygurl12]

Why are you with her if you've already decided that you don't want to marry her?

[aggressivebunny]

I don't know. The big question "where is this relationship going" was asked by her not too long ago. I was honest and I said, don't expect me to put a ring on you yet because I just don't feel it. I've got an ambition and I need to fullfil it. I told her that if you want to be with me, then follow me to the end of the world. This is also a test if she respects the way I lead, if she doesn't, she can always leave.

[YourFutureEx]

@Prettygurl12 in case you didn't read his reply.

[Prettygurl12]

@YourFutureEx Thanks

- at least you were honest with her, I guess.

[Azara]

if you think she'd slap you for saying no, why are you with her.

[Mistnigqa808]

I'd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVR8sdFTTw

to her proprosal <3

[RedRobin]

One of my aunts proposed to her now husband and they're completely happy together now.

[AleDeEurope]

If I wanna get married, I'd say yes.
I'd be a little saddened I couldn't propose myself and give her the surprise, but that's it. I would happily say yes if I wanted to marry her.

[Anonymous]

if i feel i can honestly spend the rest of my life with her i would say yes if not i would say no but out of respect if its a public proposal i would say yes and then if i didn't want to say yes i would say no to her in private so she isn't embarrassed

[Littlett25]

Id probably be like "I'm flattered! I didn't even know I was dating anyone, much less a girl!"

I don't think it would be too big of a deal. Maybe it would be surprising.

[Prof_Don]

If I was ready to get married and she proposed to me, I'd kiss her and say "(insert name here), will you marry me?"...
...
...
... just to feel like I'm the man proposing. ;-)

[Throwaway420]

Ask who the hell are you? (I'm single).

But if I were in his shoes it would matter what level I felt the relationship was at. If you've been living with him for like 3 or 4 years then it may be time, only dating for a year or so then no.

[ThisDudeHere]

Well if I had a girlfriend whom I loved, I wouldn't mind if she asked me out. Why not?

[takumii]

Moron proposing means proposing for marriage xD

[ThisDudeHere]

@takumii yes I know I know. Wrote something else from what I intended.

[Diesel_724]

I'd probably have to say yes. This is the 21st century and I think it would be awesome and I'd be flattered.

[ambertaylor]

I think it's fine. It's still the same sentiment, who cares who makes it happen? I'm not one for tradition.

[Facepalm]

If It happened today I would say no.

I am only 23, still at university, no job yet, definitely not family material.

[takumii]

Well definitely not before 27 and I need at least 3 years of relationship including 1 year live in.
Because I really need to know if it will work or not, not fond of shuffling my shit around, am only gonna marry once.

[RBD12]

I will never propose to no man. Im old school. But i will give him clear signs that I am ready for marriage.

[Toad-1]

What if he's too scared?

[RBD12]

Then he just lost a good one

[matheus_mb]

If I felt ready to say yes, I'd say yes. It's that simple. I wouldn't mind her proposing me.

[fauchelevent]

The boyfriend says he has no issue with being proposed to by me, just not anytime soon.

[Zorax]

If I had a girlfriend, I would be very happy, and I would accept

[BertMacklinFBI]

i really dont know. i know that I'll be silent for a while though.

[VirginiaBeachBum]

If we had been dating for a sufficient amount of time and I felt marriage was right for us, I'd go for it.

[singlebee]

I would be happy and say yes to her... ! :-) as I would be with someone only if I see a future with them.

[SarahsSummer]

I just read that today, being leap year, is the only day girls can propose to their guy in the UK.

[YourFutureEx]

What? Why?

[SarahsSummer]

@YourFutureEx
Women Propose to Their Men
According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, St Brigid struck a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every four years.

This is believed to have been introduced to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how leap day balances the calendar.
For more on it see this!
www.people.com/article/leap-day-proposal-stories

[YourFutureEx]

Thanks for information :)

[astrOnaut01]

It's not the only day women are allowed to propose in the UK, it's just that that is the case according to Irish folklore

[hifromkai]

I tell her to ask again tomorrow so I could beat her to it the next day

[Hollywood-Glam]

That's my man ;)

[hifromkai]

@Hollywood-Glam and your are? Lol

[Hollywood-Glam]

Just a random girl commenting on people's opinions, lol.

[hifromkai]

@Hollywood-Glam fair enough

[shortandsweet24]

I would prefer you to ask. I'm old fashioned in that way. If we're on the subject. 😘

[shortandsweet24]

Sorry. This one's taken. 😋

[hifromkai]

@shortandsweet24 <3!<3!

[RaggaMon]

You know when shit gets real and you freeze in fear? I'd do that.

[Nomad69]

If I was ready to get married I would accept and go get our rings made up unless she already has them. I am not ready for that at this time

[Anonymous]

I'd say no and ask them why they have never listened to anything I've ever had to say since I'm against marriage and would absolutely bring it up at some point in the relationship that I'm against it.

[fenixx0083]

The reason women rarely propose (and rarer still that they get a "yes") is because a woman can't go to her knee without a man going to his zipper...

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Hot,... ok? I would accept as long as we were past a year of dating or longer the better.

[astrOnaut01]

I would say "No" because I don't want to get married.

[Omar5881]

Accept it? Lol , I don't have girlfriend at the moment

[Words_and_Wisdom]

Look around for a moment, then point to myself and ask. "Me?"

[Smells-like-lavender]

I'll hold her by her waist and I'll gently tell her to hush and I'll propose myself, by that time I'll definitely will have a proposal in mind.

[Anonymous]

I would love it.

Show's she's got balls... eerrrhhh metaphorical balls! :) :) which sadly all too many girls lack

[93stepsawayfromhome]

Be weirded out, because my girlfriend would know that I never plan on marrying.

[reventon4]

It was just a high school fling

[Dred1614]

Say no, and go find a friend to ask for more advice.

[Anonymous]

I'd turn her down. Maybe I'll propose to her when I'm good and ready.

[DarkHumorRUs]

I would be so happy.
If I had a girlfriend.

[oldanddecrepid]

... as long as she got down on one knee ;)

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Say nope lol since I don't want to get married.

[naphthalene]

I'd say yes, honestly

[JSmuve]

Throw myself out of a window.

[Katy16]

My boyfriend would say no

[Toad-1]

Why?

[Katy16]

@Toad-1 he feels It's the guys job to ask

[atomique]

If we are ready, say yes

[chrisbigman]

I'd be really happy that I'd marry a great woman.

[SarahsSummer]

Finally a nice guy happy to be proposed to.

[hazoplmeught]

@SarahsSummer exactly ->FINALLY <- guys dont want that to happen to them. Especially not me. i would say ill think about it and then propose myself. most guys dont like the idea of that

[SarahsSummer]

@hazoplmeught I think my use of the word finally in this context escapes you. Just as your word "exactly" escapes me.

[RedThread]

I would be happy if I wanted to marry her.

[blondfrog]

I'd cheat on her with cheetos.

[capsteverogers]

i would fucking flip with happiness

[sp33d]

A girlffriend of how many years?

[Waffles731]

If i was ready I'd say yes

[APRU5]

That wouod make things so much easier

[Anonymous]

Depends on the ring lol jk

[singlebee]

Haahahhahah :-D

[SuitAndTie]

If I loved her I'd happily accept!

[Noxifer626]

I'm too young. Maybe when I'm 30.

[anymours23]

I would honestly be flattered and love strucked.

[jmmmfi2]

Be wtf is going on here
