Is it okay for a female to propose marriage?

Nothing is wrong in his decision for asking that guy. Why can female propose for marriage. whether she is lagging from something to ask or dont have rights to ask.. Let her ask and there is nothing to worry he will okay with her due to 7 yrs of strong relationship...

well why not?This is era of equality.Women can propose for marriage as well.I think if i was that women then i would have drop hints here and there ,if guy does not get it i would have ask him for marriage.

It is ok, although the man should have the guts to do it before she has to. :)

Where there is love thee is a way. Where there are needs there are wants. Love and needs have no gender specific set rules. We as humans must attempt regardless of our genders to be happy. So tell you friend to take a few deep breaths and be herself and begin the interaction.

Yes! It's how my godfather and godmother got married! If it's not okay, then why is it okay for them to accuse people of ... things? Anyway, sounds like that guy's "fine with things just the way they are"; which means she'll have to make it an either/or-proposal: either they can keep their money separate the way it is now, or get married so that they pay less taxes; etc.

If the two of them are talking of marriage, then it is okay for the girl to propose marriage. If they are living together but not talking of marriage, then she should wait for the guy to propose.

There is nothing wrong with a female doing the proposing. This isn't something that is only up to one gender to do. Men and women can both be just as persuasive in proposing marriage. Females don't have to wait for the male to do the asking. They have the same opportunity to ask someone to share their lives.

Since they have been in a long engagement , she can drop a hint to her boyfriend that she wanted them to get married. The long engagement could have made them very at ease and comfortable with each other so making suggestion would not be considered an inappropriate move from the lady!

Me and my husband were 7 years dating before our marriage, I didn't propose but I'm telling him before that if we're not destined for each other it's okay with me and then he will say, why wouldn't be , I'll marry you sweetheart, so later on he proposed and we get married {em}smile{em}. Happy ending.

I think wedding proposal should be done only by male. But a female can ask if her boyfriend has a plan of marrying her in an indirect way. For example, during breakfast, she can give some hint about marriage. I think the male will get the idea doing this.

The old generations have it that it is the males who propose marriage. That has been the tradition. However, it is the new generation already, and i know of some couples where it was actually the woman who proposed and asked for marriages. Even more have shotguns pointing on the head of the guy because he got her pregnant.

you know.. ummm..,. i think its kind of normal for a girl to propose,. you know its quite different though, and i just think its not like romantic..but if she really wants to. then idk go ahead.... but cmon on.. i think the guy is just probably waiting for the rite...
