The only way I would do that is if we haven't been dating for that long. Come to me with a marriage proposal in two weeks and I'm gone. This isn't Skyrim. You can't just wear an amulet of Mara. Now, if it's been a year or more, I'll do it.
sure i would. i won't say yes just in order to "not ruin the moment". me giving my word means something. and i'm not gonna give it out of politeness if i don't mean it.
@SecretsofKB because men control access to relationships a woman getting down on one knee is the equivalent of a man getting on his knees and begging a woman for sex ( not very attractive is it? ) you and most women would most definitely say no to a man who thinks he can have access to your body simply by begging with no effort
@Guardian45 well first of all I'm a Muslim so our way of proposal isn't the Hollywood way.. it goes like this in our community , a man get interested in a woman , he propose , if she is interested she accept, they get engaged, that period of engagement they get to know each others to see if they are the ones for each others, then they get married or end the engagement.
So the first one who propose to me , I was still studying and I didn't feel like I'm ready to start a relationship to begin with so I refused.. The second one I accepted the proposal, but then when I start talking to him, he was a really nice man, respected, educated, rich... But I realized that there was certain things I can't tolerate in him as my life partner so I ended it.

The now ex wanted to marry me and have kids I ran a mile. No way would I marry into that toxic mess.
i’ve said no before.. when they’re just purposing because they think it would stop your fighting then it’s a big no.
No, I can't say NO to a marriage proposal from a sweet Lady.
I will only be dating people I see myself marrying to.
Hell yes, I would say NO.
I could of bet my house on that lol
I would have to think more about how to respectfully decline and then hopefully upped my cardio enough to RUN!
Ummm. I'm NOT proud to say this, but I have twice. First time was because she didn't want children. Second time was because it was too soon.
Marriage proposal needs to be divided into occasions and people. Satisfaction of these hard conditions can make a decision.
Yes because women shouldn't ask men. Yuck. I'd say no out of principle. That's just humiliating all around.
I told my ex-wife that wanted. to marry me after just a month but put it off for 6 months so said no at the time waited made a delayed yes
I could see it happening under the right circumstances.
Nope, some please marry me 😭😂
Pardone?
I want some to marry me 😂
I see. You want someone to marry you
Yes!
Yes and I have before.
May I ask why you said No?
Not the right person
EXCELLENT reason! LOL!
Haha. He just wasn’t the person I saw myself with forever
Best NOT to make THAT mistake!
Yeah marriage is a bit commitment…I only wanna do it once.
“Would”? Absolutely!
‘Could’? Highly unlikely.
I will say No
Unless I’m being asked to be a Concubine or a second wife especially if the first wife is bisexual
Women shouldn’t propose.
Why not?
@SecretsofKB because it’s desperate and pathetic
@SecretsofKB sorry if that was harsh
@painusndeeanus It did come off harsh. Why is it pathetic and desperate?

You can’t beg to be a wife
@painusndeeanus and men getting down on one knee isn't begging to be a husband? This seems like a big double standard to me.
@SecretsofKB yes it is a double standard and do you know why?
@painusndeeanus no but I'm sure you're going to tell me.
@SecretsofKB because that’s the way it is.
@painusndeeanus Such a well thought out answer
@SecretsofKB well it’s a gist and a simplified version of the answer
You make double standards sound like a bad thing only when they don’t benefit women
Double standards are unfair but they’re also the means by which we conduct ourselves socially
I have already.. 2 times actually.
May I ask why you said No?

Sounds logical
Yep.. You end up with the least damage possible, no trauma and drama needed... It either work out or don't.
Depends who asked, why and how 😂🙄
