Marriage Proposal On Phone? by Eby22: 11:48am On Mar 17, 2008
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?
Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by micklplus(m): 11:58am On Mar 17, 2008
Personally and most sincerely, i dont 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.

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. shocked

[size=13pt]If he doesn't go down on one knee, it's not a proposal?
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 grin[/size]

Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by Nobody: 2:07pm On Mar 19, 2008
dat 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,cos 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

Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by MsLurker(f): 3:01pm On Mar 19, 2008
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.
Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by ty4real(m): 3:01pm On Mar 19, 2008
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! grin grin
Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by Nobody: 3:07pm On Mar 19, 2008
@scorpium

a guy can only zell a girl he loves her and wants to marry her while they are dating,it is normal,but african or no african it is only made official wen the guy comes wt a ring to propose to her,proposal for mouth does not go and she is still available to accept any ring from any guy as far as im concerned

[size=13pt]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 [/size]
Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by Nobody: 3:29pm On Mar 19, 2008
change is the only constant thing in life.My Grandpa proposed to Grandma 2ru an intermediary.Things must change, we cant 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 cant 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
Re: Marriage Proposal On Phone? by romsky: 3:48pm On Mar 19, 2008
diffrent stroke 4 diffrent folks. 4 me d answer would av bin hell no . but den it cld be that d guy wasn't courageous enough to bear d turn down or was very emotional & eager to propose at that particular time

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?  undecided
