Not every relationship leads to marriage, so proposing to her gives her that "I'm the main chick".....

Oga, now relationships dey like Lotto,
Na try your luck,
Because i date you no mean say i go marry you,
Many men don use girls dey Bleep for more than two years in the name of fiancee, come later leave dem run go marry another pesin,
So if girl get luck see pesin were gree marry am,
She must happy nah.
Re: Whats The Need For Proposal When We Are Already Dating by sinaj(f):

Brother! Dating is a stage of the human mating process whereby two people meet socially, possibly as friends or possibly with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage while in courtship, u certain it will lead to marriage.

During courtship, the relationship is been recognized by the family nd that is where proposing comes in.

the lady is right. Dating and courtship are not the same.

The focus of dating is simply spending time with a person you are attracted to, to know each other better in a way you can't as just acquaintances.

For courtship you already know this person; you are steering the boat towards MARRIAGE and want to see how well it would work out. They differ in focus (goal) and scope.

A proposal is not a vow, it's a request.

if two words are synonymous, you can replace one with the other and not lose any info in transmission. If you replace dating with courtship in nearly every context, it wouldn't pass the same message.

With the exception of arranged marriages between near-strangers, everyone else passes through a period of courtship (no matter how long or brief) before marriage. No matter how long two persons have known each other even as childhood friends, there's always this "let's get serious" period just before the formal agreement (engagement) to get married.

[email] Nah, that's called "preparing for the unexpected". He wouldn't want his heart broken nor get disappointed.


That's outrightly boring.
