Call me old-fashioned, traditionalist, whatever, but a woman should not propose to a man. Like some peeps have said, there is more to proposing than just kneeling down and flashing the ring. |

5yrs is really a long time but, I would have prefered it the other way. I hope he goes on with the YES answer and the marriage last forever . Is very unAfrican however, 21st century or not. I hope it doesn't happen to me cause, it squeezes out everything juicy about the whole thing. Just my humble openion but, what do I know. I wish them well |

coogar: I'm not repeating myself. Scroll up and read my posts carefully. coogar: Are you seriously comparing joining military to marriage? Weak analogy. coogar: Sweerat, since we are going against the norm; I'm proposing with a pair of Gucci Shoes. You ok with that? |

The best i think a lady could do is to systematically guide/engineer her man towards proposing and doing it her self is just 2 odd. And pls note that this is a defferent thing entirely from a lady asking a guy out. |

What is food for the goose is surely palatable to the gander. In reminiscence of the "21st century" women equivocal bla bla bla stuff,asking a man out/proposing to a man should not be made to be a mountain when its nothing but a molehill. It is very,very acceptable in a "21st century" society . |

A woman proposing marriage to a man. Hmmm. Would she do it out in the public? Would she get on a bended knee and do it? Would she present him a ring? The questions are almost endless, but I, as a man, would be embarrassed and not feel comfortable with this at all. I think two years is enough time for me to decide whether I want to spend the rest of my life with a woman or not. |

Mrs, Chima: If Women now like to ride their guys "on top" and "go down" on them, I don't see why proposing to a man is different? |

sexkillz: @Sexhillz Hypothetically lets say you have daughter you love so much and she dates a guy for 5 years [s](2 years should be the limit in my books)[/s] and tells you he has not asked so she will have to propose herself. She needs your advise on whether to go ahead and propose What will your advise be not NL advise o, your flesh and blood advise as a fatherly guardian ? I ask as I am always open to learning and there are many ladies reading NL now thinking they can now propose to a man i 2011 . |

Adding my 25 shillings to the discuss; traditionally it seems wrong(i.e if the guy is from from an I thinks that role of proposing to a woman depicts authority,true love by the man(considering he actually asked her out,asked her to be engaged to him)its more like the concluding part of our 'romantic journey' i.e getting to know you,what you like,ambition,expectations in the relationship e.t.c Permit me to say proposing is like sealing the relationship built on trust e.t.c and deciding to take the next step into being one To the question,by accepting the proposal of a lady are you not exposing yourself? Anyway,whatever works for you but don't let your emotions cloud sound judgement |

For those saying it is 21st century and referring to the western world need to take a closer look at how long their marriages averagely last over there. For a man not to have proposed after 5 years of dating should make us ask some questions. A real man that is ready for marriage and knows he is with the right person will definetely propose, in fact he will do it as soon as he can Anything that makes him not to do that means something is wrong somewhere with him. With all the agitation for gender equality going on around, it is still worthy of note that there are fundamental differences between a man and a woman. Things as simple as men being naturally muscular and women being on the fleshy side. In essence, what I mean is that we can be said to be equal, but we are not the same Irrespective of what religious views people may take, I want to remind us that God is the one that created marriage, and not the western world. It was in existence before they knew what it was all about. Their efforts to do things the way they want is what has led to the failure of most of their marriages today A man will be the head of the home. A man has an hunting mentality. He should go for the person and propose. For the lady, if the man is not proposing to you, you dont need to wait for him to or beg him to. He probably has his reasons. What I will suggest to such a lady is: Dont prospose to him. Dont force him out of it. But u can tell him that you cannot just hang around if the relationship is not leading anywhere. If he still does not do anything, then he is not ready for it. Take your break and go ahead with your life. Chikena If a woman proposes to the man, she has taken away a fundamental role and function of a man. In fact, its only a weak man that will accept that. |

klovesh: Blaming others for a man's flaw is not cool. A weak man is weak period regardless if a woman propose to him or not. It take an individualistic man not to conform to cookie cutter mentality and individualistic men are rare these days. |
