Labake1, ask your friend (though I think it's you), when she proposes to him, will she also pay his groom price?

Bear the cost of the wedding?

Handled all the financial aspects of the wedding?

Or she will just place expenses on somebody that wasn't expecting it or is not even ready for it?

Is that the plan?

Lol cheesy grin cheesy at the bold faced. My thoughts as well.

Asking for a friend

Both of them has been dating for four years, she has met all his family and her siblings knows him but he doesn't seem like moving to the next stage.

So she is thinking on proposing to him this weekend but worried of his reaction.

You men sef... tongue
You people say, you guys will no longer propose to ladies that it is not befitting of an African man...

Now ladies wanna propose and it is still a problem to you people...

What do you people want sef

You're mixing it up. Asking someone out is different from proposing. There's nothing wrong if a girl asks a guy out because you'll just be dating.

Proposing means you're ready to cater for the person on your own expenses for life. So its absurd for a woman to propose to a man because no be you go house and cater for me. That is a mans role.

She should sit him down and talk to him about wanting to take the relationship to the next level. Ask him what his plans her and tell him she needs to know if he has any plan for their future together.

I personally will not propose to a guy so I will not advocate for that. But to each his own.

Where is she hurrying to

On the other hand, she should get the guy to propose to her instead.

The act of proposing is just an act of promise, it's symbolic. Where the work is, is when you carry the responsibilities of a proposer. And I'm 100% sure that's not something your friend wants to carry.

So after she proposed to him, will she also pay his groom price, then sponsor their wedding, then pay for honeymoon, have a house for him to move into later on? And he probably will bear her surname?

The act of proposal is basically a man saying, "I owe you marital responsibilities". I will provide for you, care for you, love you, and see you as a part of me. Its a statement that carries weight.

Since men carry the burden of performance, he has the responsibility to propose, it's it him declaring to you that he is willing to be your performer.

Men are like drivers, and women are like passengers. You'll only enter a bus that is going to direction you want. So a man's proposals is like saying, hey, I'm going to Abuja, it's better than Lagos, are you onboarding?

Then as a woman, you decide if Abuja is better than Lagos, or Cotonou, or Paris. You choose from your options and pick the best. This is the natural dynamic.

So if you propose to a man, it's like a passenger forcing the driver to go Enugu when he is not ready, or don't want to go there. Also you don't want to put the wrong driver in the steering.

If you understand my alalogy, then proposing is not your job as a woman. Refrain from it. You may ask him where this relationship is heading, to determine your next step.

Word of wisdom!!!

We know you are the so called friend. You are tired of waiting and you want to move the relationship to the next level.

Don't do it. Whatever weed you are taking, just don't do it!

Thank me later.

It’s not appropriate,If he wants the girl he will definitely propose, If not the girl shouldn’t force herself on him because it will be a case of desperation And that’s not good.Cus the girl may likely not be happy in the marriage.
Re: Guys, What Would Be Your Reaction If Your Girlfriend Proposed To You? by Allwell96: 4:06pm On Aug 04, 2023
If as a man, I'm ready, I would have proposed before now. Except if she's ready to take the responsibility of the man in the house now and after marriage. His not proposing to her means he's not ready yet or he doesn't want to marry her simple.
Re: Guys, What Would Be Your Reaction If Your Girlfriend Proposed To You? by stanisbaratheon: 4:12pm On Aug 04, 2023
culturally, it is not right for a woman to propose to an African man. He should take the initiative and propose to her if he truly loves her.

Why is she your girlfriend if you're not planning to marry her?

She needs to walk away from a man who is not ready to take the relationship to the next level after 4 years of being together.
