Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by raphy(m): 8:26pm On Oct 01, 2006
Hi all,

I just can't stand it. This babe walked up to me and started telling what I didn't expect. She said she is single and looking for a hubby. I don't know what to do, but now we are friends anyway.

But can a woman propose to a man? I need your advise all. grin

There is a difference between inviting and proposing

Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by PrinceTolu(m): 1:00am On Oct 02, 2006
Well. I guess I made a mistake. I did;'t realise the issue was propose. I don't think it's ok. A girl canstill tell a guy that she fancies him.
Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by cyprianjr(m): 1:35am On Oct 02, 2006
Its ok for a woman to propose, true love is all that matters
Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by leketoye(m): 8:47am On Oct 02, 2006
I see it happen all the time. women proposing to men. Guys haven't you been in a relationship and the girl keeps asking when you are going to take her to the altar even when you haven't asked her to marry you That's it.

as men are less faithful than women they should make they first move, i once had a client who asked her boyfriend to marry her, 1yr into the marriage he started saying I ONLY MARRY YOU BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS WHEN YOU ASKED so now every argument they have is based on this.

i should not say it is wrong but it goes against the norms of society.

We hear of some women desperate to get married, and when the right guy comes along, they stall, because the man is expected to fulfil his traditional obligations. But what if he chooses not to propose to you, because we are living in the 21st centurty, what would you do? Break of the relationship in search of a traditional man who would do the proposal, complete with a carat diamond engagement ring? How about you do it since we live in the 21st century? I think the book of etiquette, or romance need to be updated, if it hasnt been. Women can also go on bended knees and propose too. I read Halle Berry did the same for her then husband, David Justice.

There is nothing undignifying of a woman to do the proposal, neither does it spell desperation to me. If love compels you to do so, then go for it.

Cheers.

this is how marriage has been westernize, what diamond ring? how many kids are killed or have there hands and legs cut off for diamonds- and look at where Halle berry is now.

i need to know that the man i marry( never again) wants me, the only way i can know that is for him to ask.

Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by BUSHFELLOW(m): 12:11pm On Oct 02, 2006
Why not abi you get scurvey. Realy apart from joke there is nothing wrong but please becarefull if the guy is not expose to the real world he might mistake you of being desperate to have a husbanb. If he is all this religeous fanatic he might think what was writen in the bible that there shall come a time when women will run after men for marriage so it is up to you. you know your man well enough to decide but if i will advice you i think if your man is is not expose as iam you just keep the african women pride up i.e allow him to make the call.


And for you Mr. Man for saying you cant stand it wake up and stop living in the past for a woman to walk up to you respect her for she has her pride and ego

Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by juliedoe(f): 4:40pm On Oct 02, 2006
i think if a girl luvs a guy n d guy seems be uncertain to go into marriage wit her, she should propose thou is not normal but atleast to know if the guy is really serious wit her or jst feel passion n lust 4 her. then if the guy says no 2 her, fine. But sometimes if the guy agrees 2 marry her, he might use it as an excuse wen they have a misunderstanding. so it is not wise 4 a girl 2 propose to a guy.
Re: Can A Woman Propose To A Man? by popsonj(m): 4:55pm On Oct 02, 2006
There is nothing wrong in a girl proposing to a guy, but to so many people, it's not ideal.
In the real sense, if girls won't propose if truly in love with a guy, that might just restrict their choice.
So i feel it should be encouraged since love involves both the guy and the lady.
