Declining a marriage proposal, I hope would never be a part of my life. This is something both people usually know that’s coming sometime in the near future too. I certainly would not be having a woman proposing to me or taking her last name as prescribed in the Feminist mentality.

If more people were upfront about what they really want, it shouldn’t have to come to that… I’m not looking to get married, I would like to be married in two years time, etc… I want kids, I don’t want kids… these are conversations people should be having before anything gets THAT serious… But no it’s text a day, a week, jump into bed together and call that a relationship🤦🏼♀️
The chances are low cause if I do not view a guy’s personality as a desirable lover, I would not date him. I know people who married people they did not like because they thought some relationship with an unloving person was better then none, I think they made the biggest mistakes of their lives. Either I’m totally interested or not even a coffee date.
I have said no to more than one marriage proposal.
I am not really into marriage, and will likely say no to any future proposals as well.

When I was younger, I was going to propose to the girl I was dating, but changed my mind at the last minute. I guess that's the equivalent of declining a marriage proposal.
Unfortunately yes if there is misunderstanding or sometimes people are do distracted they can't hear... but if someone proposes to me it has to mean we have a serious relationship but I've been telling them "not as yet. We have to sort out this first". But I would tell them "yes but not as yet" ...
The only reason engaging for a long time may not be so good an idea is I don't want them to feel embarrassed or be asked awkward questions from family.
I didn’t think I would but I did once.
I think getting the questioned popped really solidifies what we want in life. I really thought I’d spend my life with that particular person. But when I got asked, it was a moments pause for me to realize that lifestyle wasn’t what I wanted.Yes, I make it pretty clear I dont look for that
I got too many of my own issues, and I dont want someone yo suffer from it, so not going to merry, if anyone offer it, they ask anyway they miss something or hope I say yes anyway.. I am honestly a little scared of someone trying something really stupid with it, like doing it in a big event and just placing me in a real panic becouse they miss the memoone sided proposals are not my thing...
if we had planned for it though... and then, they surprise me, but still an expected proposal that was oncoming... I would not a reason to declineI have twice. Only both proposals weren't genuine (or official) just somebody saying stuff because they were desperate to stay in a relationship or apply for a visa.
I is once after I divorced my ex when I found out she was cheating on me , she tried getting me back and proposed to me , I laughed and said No fucking way
Yeap, have once before. Marriage holds 0 appeal for me, they knew this and still did so. They lost a relationship for it.
Of course. If the timing isn't right, it isn't right. You can't pressure me into saying yes if I'm not feeling it.
I would say no because I don't want to get married again... I've already done it twice 😒
I was declined a proposal. She regretted it after I got married to someone else. Funny how that works
I'm a somewhat liberated guy who doesn't think it should be written in stone who's supposed to say it first. If I wasn't taking the initiative soon enough, then yes, I would accept a marriage proposal, but only from a woman, not another man, because I am straight, no offense to gay people, it's just the way I am, believe.
I will accept marriage proposal only once.
I will have only one sexual partner for this one life.
Don't rush into it and don't do it in public. Meet these two conditions and I'll say yes.
if i wasn't ready then yeah i'd say no, but i'd like to think i would talk with my partner about marriage before a proposal pops out of nowhere
If it's my boyfriend no, if it's someone else yea
Depends on if I was really ready for marriage or if I was seriously in love. If I had any doubts about it yes I would. I honestly don't know if I could do marriage again...
I said no twice to two different men before finally saying yes to my now husband.
Most likely I would since I have no desire getting married. They would have no argument for me to say yes.
I did so. But in a polite and somewhat humorous way :)
I would do it again. To marry nowadays has become a meaningless act of administration.
