please, I want to ask.
Is it wrong for a guy to propose to a lady on phone?
My friend had this experience and from the way she reacted,
I believe the guy regretted ever knowing her.
What is your own view about that?

Personally and most sincerely, i don't think theres nothing wrong in proposing to a girl on the phone but, the mood and "lyrics has to be right ! If the proposal is done at a wrong time, ofcourse, it cud make the girl go "kind of, whats wrong with this guy" ! Marriage proposal could come in any format or stlye but ofcourse, the setting, lyrics, mood and time has to be right ! i think physical proposal is most ideal LOLThats my personal opinion.
Cheers

Proposing on phone is not bad, but i would say her that i depends on the mood of the lady.

Not for me  With him planning all his lyrics to say over the phone i might not even answer the bloody phone So that would just ruin his plans

I don't get the reason why a proposal shld be on phone. Is he sooo excited he can't wait till they see. Phone talk, phone toasting, phone fight, phone kiss, phone Duh! Phone proposal again? Soon enough we'll have phone marriage.  |

I think it's best done in person unless there's an understandable reason why you can't be physically present. For instance the guy/girl may be in Nigeria while the other person is in Iraq |

Hell no! it doesn't go down with me at all.I'm sure the guy in question must freaking out at the time.be that as it may,I just think serious issues like marriage proposal should be done in the most romantic and respectful way.

It's a new world we are living in people. . . Everything is growing in techinology. . .The guy should get reward for inventing this way of proposing to a woman. . some people do have what is called phone sex right? . . why not phone proposal. . . please the this world advance in everything people and lets appreciate new ideas  The girls shouldn't have over reacted to this lovely proposal. . .to me it's the most romantic thing ever . . .the guy try for even picking the phone to say to her "honey will you marry me" i think that is very brave LORD HAVE MERCY. . . |

that one na proposal for mouth,wey d ring?i believe d right way for a guy to propose to a girl,is by coming to her one on one,because d girl has to look into his eyes to find out if he is for real,or if he is a player,we(girls) need to see the love poking out from his face nose mouth ear, and so on

Does the typical African marriage proposal require any ring? |

A school friend accepted a proposal from her husband on the phone.
I think he was at basic training though. So it works for some.
I think I would appreciate it more in person. I would be okay with it ONLY if we weren't able to see each other in person.

The issue is that most ladies have a programmed mind about the way they want to be proposed to and to be sincere with you ,marriage proposal on the phone is the least on their list ooo! |

The TRUTH is typical African marriage proposal DON'T require any RING officially or unofficially. Just say it to the girl which she may accept or reject, meet her parents and folks if they accept, you get married or otherwise. NO RING INTENDED |

change is the only constant thing in life.My Grandpa proposed to Grandma 2ru an intermediary.Things must change, we can't remain in the normal way,proposal can be in any form, the only clause is IS THE GUY REALLY SERIOUS? My fiancee proposed 2 me on phone. he was on an official trip to russia, and he was scheduled to stay there for 2 years, he can't fly home to proposed, so he did it on phone.
Many face to face proposals end up in shambles, so it depends on the lovers in question.Ladies have that notion that a guy must propose to them face to face, its good but remember , things are changing.TECH DAYS

Hey, Nairalanders! Why remain in the past ages for goodness' sake? Life and technology has made it possible for us to experience new possibilities. This shouldn't be different. I know a guy that's been following a lady for over three years on the phone, and is currently thinking of proposing. They love each other now, nothing is wrong with that. Is there? |
