"Many years back, a man proposed to me over the phone. To make matters more baffling, he proposed via text message. I was weak.

I later asked him if that is how men propose to women in his village and his response was "My father proposed to my mother through NIPOST". And he meant every word." Lol

So ladies and gents, can you make or accept a phone proposal? Lets Discuss
so you've been dating him for years for what reason exactly, I guess for him to pull the crowd just to propose to you. Stay away from telemundo and zee world, too much TV is dangerous

Lol

So many things we put so much value on doesn't count in years to come...

How does how he proposed make a difference...

Some people no propose self..

Life is supposed to be easy
Lol. It makes a lot of difference. Is it important? Maybe not, but it certainly counts.

There are two things we should bear in mind,if its God will,you do not need to see him/her facially before you agreed. I proposed to my wife while in Germany without knowing her facially, and the marriage has been successful with children and for over 30 yes now.

Well with the advent of technology - He could make it a bit romantic.
I mean do it over video call but have someone kneel down and give you the ring.

- Someone who does it over a phone call might mean
1. You are setting yourself up for a less romantic relationship
2. The dude has no creative juices in his bone.
3. The fact that he referenced his mom's proposal eons ago might mean he will expect you to do things as old school
- You do all the house chores
- Sit at home and take care of the kids while he alone works
- In short " be domesticated"

It is during the courtship that a man is supposed to be most romantic . How many married men sing their wives R&B love songs compared to bf/gf relationships.
Unless there is a huge ocean between you two - He could be creative and put more effort in it.

Why worry how he did it?

You should weigh much on how to navigate the next phase....For the fact he found you worthy to be his support for life...

Ladies stop over thinking little little issues....Not all men want the fanfare and gram pictures..

Infact if you have a private man by your side nowadays, you are lucky...Social media buzz no deh last more than crackers biscuits.

As long as you know him physically and he ticks your boxes...why not enjoy the ride.

It's not the medium he proposes but how truthful is the proposal and the manner of the communication or approach especially choice of words

I propose to my wife on phone even though the last time I saw her was over a year before the proposal. We are now married for 5 years and still counting.

What difference would it make that he proposes physically?
What if he's unavoidably unavailable , what do you want him to do?

Their is no rule book that said so....Even proposal is a modern stuff very different from how our ancestors will visit a maiden home with keg of wine and kolanut to come ask about a ripe fruit they saw...cheesy

Even, some of our parents married without seeing the wife...just when the marriage rights was completed, the wife joined next available bus to Lagos or elsewhere from village to go and meet her man and they become one..cheesy


And such marriage lasted till death comes....Such marriages produced some of us that are now looking for rings and drama at shopping malls to kneel and propose with fanfare only to cancel wedding when the ovation is gone..grin


Things fall Apart....Each aboki with his kettle sha..

Yes, To each their own.
Because our ancestors did it that way doesn't mean we have to do the same way nor was there love involved. It was seen more of a duty . Our "eyes' and minds have been enlightened to know that - those ways will no longer work or last in this age. There are many woman who felt trapped in such arranged marriages but considered divorce terrible and therefore stayed in such arrangements not nowadays.

In any case.... whoever pays the piper dictates its tune.

The method of proposal is the least one should worry about.. The MESSAGE is more important than the MESSENGER

It's better to accept a responsible man phone proposal than a stunning lake side proposal by an irresponsible man on one knee.
Re: Proposing Through The Phone; Would You Accept? by olamoses75(m): 2:11pm On Sep 13, 2021
I still don't understand the proposing of a thing. Like we've been dating for years, what were your expectations from the relationship if not marriage? I dated you for 3-5yrs and you're still expecting me to ask you "will you marry me"? Is that not the reason why we're dating initially? Am not gonna propose to anyone, if you can't interpret our relationship as a pre requisite for marriage, then I will assume you to be a clown. My dad ask mom out, she agreed to date him, there's nothing like kneeing to propose, and the union is 35yrs and still counting. It's only those mumu feminist that request for such thing that a man must buy a ring and knee and ask "will you marry me"

She is lucky he proposed.

You two have been dating, knacking, wearing uniforms to weddings of his friends and yours.

Wetin remain?

Some guys just ask when they are coming to see your people.

Some proposals starts with “I missed my period”

The most important thing is he treats you right and you do the same. If he isn’t a man into fanfare, you shouldn’t overthink it because you need pictures and videos for the gram.

LOL I still argue with my wife on if I actually proposed to her. grin
Some will just go straight to introduction without the proper ceremonial proposal ish.

If you like go propose on top Liberty Statue � your marriage will still pack up if it's not meant to be. And a marriage can last forever without any proposal done.

Last last all na wash, all na packaging and when the packaging is fully unveiled you might not like what is enclosed.

So don't dwell too much on frivolities, seek your long term wellbeing, happiness and security rather than impressing your friends and competitors grin grin grin
