THE PROPOSAL

Do you remember that special day or night when the love of your life proposed ? Was it , different, expected - or unexpected? And do you think it is right for a woman to pop the question to her long time boyfriend?
I was living in the Caribbean - and my boyfriend in the United States that fateful night when he proposed over the telephone. I accepted, though I would have preferred to see him in person when he proposed.

I once told a woman that it ought to be a federal law that a woman must ask a man out who she doesn't know at least once so women can know how nerve racking it is to ask someone out. The woman's reply? "I would never do that!" I don't know about a woman popping "the question" but I have no problem with women asking men out.

@Kandae11 I usually didn't have trouble asking women to dance. One woman said, "Ooh, ick, no!" Most women were nicer than that. Very few turned me down but when they did they simply said, "No thank you." But asking women out was a whole different thing.

Believe it or not, my love never really proposed. We started talking about getting married someday and then we were walking on Main Street and he took me into a jewelry store and we picked an engagement ring, He never really formally asked me!! lol

@Kandae11 Yes I guess that was it and we are still together so I guess we were right lol That engagement was April 1 1967.

My (at the time) boyfriend and I went to the wedding of our two friends and at the reception, my (now) husband started talking about where we would live and taking care of bills, etc. Later when he took me home, I said, "Was that a proposal tonight?" He said of course it was!
He likes to tease me that he really wasn't asking me to marry him, he was asking me to shack up! That was 52 years ago.

I'm sure you would have. My proposal came out of the blue on a back road where we had been talking for a couple hours - no hanky panky just talk, when all of a sudden he just asked me. I said yes, but I later said no, and then about a month later he asked again and were married.

"And do you think it is right for a woman to pop the question to her long time boyfriend?" Interesting question! I would want to do it. I think the man should take the lead.

There has been like three proposals but none of them has been long lasting, in the end all of them have failed for one reason or another. I proposed once to a girl and the other two have been proposals but I don´t remember how they ocurred

My husband never really proposed traditionally. He did get down on his knee in front of his friends and say what would it take to get you to marry me and I thought just ask me.

Don't remember much about the proposal but it wasn't anything elaborate.

It's a mixed emotions, hard to explain and describe.
Wish you all the best though

Ours was sort of a mutual agreement after we had been together for two years. The big moment was when we decided that Anne was going to move to where I lived to be with me. I believe it is fine for the woman to ask first.
