Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Mutee: 5:55pm On Jun 23, 2007 |
Guys and ladies, Please kindly answer this question. Who in a relationship is supposed to ask the question 'would you marry me'. I mean is it nice for the lady to ask the question? |

I had a school mate who went by the alias, "Mutee". The guy was rival with a junior student, who was trying to establish himself as the school's musician. |

The question is not "would you marry me" but "Will you marry me" mate. And in this modern day and age the question can be popped by either the man or the woman. Though it is traditional for the man to do the asking. For women who do not like overstepping the mark, they are given free rein to pop the question on the 29th of February (every four years). |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Mutee: 7:16pm On Jul 01, 2007 |
Dear SMC, I think the statement (would you marry me) in form of a question is correct. 'Will you marry me' this statement begining with the word 'will' is no longer a question but a command. 'Would' as it is being used in a statement makes it a question of which the answer may be a 'yes' or 'no' as the case may be. Make a research into the topic- concord rules and agreement in English. Just answer questions and not to correct cause it's not our language. |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by SMC(f): 8:51pm On Jul 01, 2007 |
Mutee: You are definitely wrong about the question. And English may not be your first language but it is mine. Be gracious enough to accept corrections instead of exposing your deficiency of the language further. It's not like I did not answer the question so I'd suggest you accept comments/suggestions/corrections in good fate. PS. Whoever has told you that using the word "will" automatically turns a question into a command has certainly led you up the garden path. At the risk of giving an English lecture, I'll say the word can be used in a plethora of ways (for asking, for ordering, for stating, for showing e.t.c.). I suggest you research further or take a look at the meaning of the word in the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary. |

@ oracle aye ti yi , times have changed man , wats the big deal ? |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Oracle(m): 1:15pm On Jul 28, 2007 |
I don't know, but it really feels like a big deal. Its like Emasculation. Like i'm not man enough to do what I'm meant to do or like i'm wasting time about the marriage thing. That doesn't feel right. |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by ladebi(m): 4:43pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
The ladies ask the question a lot but they are not asking you to marry them but they want to know if you are going to marry them. |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Ralvy(m): 5:00pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
It dosen't really matter, but most likely, Its a man's responsibility, I've heard of cases where the lady asked the man Y He has not asked her to marry him! |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by joeola4u(m): 5:12pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
From my own view,the man should do the job, but if it comes from the Lady,which means she's speeding up the reaction(No room for time WASTERS in ladies lives} |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Echidime(m): 5:28pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
when your having sex,Whoever enjoy it most should ask right there when the HIT is still on. I can remember my former girl friend, while blessing her with all what GOD has giving to me,she cried out p-l-e-a-s-e would you marry me and MESS me till I die? P-l-e-a-s-e- don't say noooooooooooooo |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Ralvy(m): 5:35pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
Echidime: lol, she probably said that 'cos she was so into IT, I mean high on sex! |

Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Caradona(f): 5:43pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
@ TOPIC I wouldn't dream of asking a man to marry me, even if my Life depends on it. YUKS!!! If a woman asks a Man, "Will you marry me". Before she knows it, she becomes a doormat and a mother of 12 kids. |

The Bible says whosoever that fines a wife fines a good thing and obtain favour from the Lord! so is strictly for men ok!! Don't try it o if you are a woman, |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Nobody: 5:53pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
Caradona: good point. You don't want the man to wake up tomorrrow and blame you for forcing him into marriage let him do the asking. That is a manly duty when he asks it also means he's financially and emotionally able to handle the job |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by coollove: 5:59pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
outrightly is the guy that will ask that question. its the girl that is marrying not the guy. that is why in every wedding it reads woman weds man and not otherwise. |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Baxilexi(m): 6:11pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
my fellow nairalanderians, if the couple think or know there totally caught in each others web of love, why then do they need to ask the "question" or would they soon be a question for having kids. "honey i think i should get you pregnant". i think its bad enough that the guy has to beg 4 love. ladies please be merciful |

Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by denex: 8:10pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
The partner who feels they have something special going and believes the other person is holding back should should break the ice. However popping the question is getting kind of old. I can't ask anybody "will you marry me?" as if the marriage is for only my own benefit. "Let's get married"! End of story. |

Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by CrazyMan(m): 9:00pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
It’s supposed to be the man who should ask the question. A woman shouldn’t put herself in that position because she doesn’t know if the man is financially prepared for the marriage, or if the man has other plans for his future. |
Re: Who Should Ask, 'Will You Marry Me?' by Nobody: 12:32am On Aug 03, 2007 |
I'v not earned the right to offer an opinion but I hope when i get there I won't have to pop the question to confirm if she'll marry me. Our antecedents should have foretold the likelihood of our getting married Perhaps for formality's sake it'll be ok to ask, and that's always a man's job to do. |
