Is it appropriate for a lady to propose to a guy

March 15, 2018 10:16pm CST
It like the trending thing now in the world,I come online daily to see one video or another of a girl proposing to a guy, some agree but some walk away from agreeing to it telling the girls, they are already married or they can't spend the rest of their lives with them and stuff like that but do you think,this is appropriate for ladies to do?

Of course it is. I don't see any difference between the two doing it. If they love each other, if they feel they are ready to get married then sure, the girl can do it. If the guy gets upset if the girl does it, he isn't right for her then, he is a big baby and doesn't deserve such a confident lady who loved him enough to spend the rest of her life with him, she doesn't need that.

@augusta123 Engagement rings are not important, they are all a Hallmark scam to make people buy them. And I don't know about you, but both people pay for the wedding here, it has been that way for a while. Gender roles are no longer needed.

After the proposal who wears the engagement ring and who pays the groom's sorry bride price?

I suppose that it depends on many things. Age of both partners would be important for me.

@augusta123 what do you mean who pays the bride price? Brides don’t have a price tag?

I think it depends on the culture and tradition because in other countries ladies do proposals on guys.

So in that case who head the home?

@Shin26 oh really after the lady has proposed and married the man,the reverse should be the case in a situation like this.Don't you think so?

It can be appropriate. It depends on their traditions and the couple.

So who becomes the head in the marriage, since it the woman that proposed first?

@anikoonline Don't you think it will be absurd for a woman to be thr head of a family

@augusta123 I think a women can be the head in the marriage, if it is okay for the husband. And normally the head should be both as they make decisions about their common lives.

As of last five years, it's like an abomination for a lady to propose to a guy in my culture, but these past few years, ladies are now doing it. As for me, I still feel, it's not okay for a lady to do that...maybe, it's my upbringing as in my culture. I feel the guy should do the talking, but if I like a guy and would want to spend the rest of my life with him, I will give him signs. Giving him the red flag that I like him and that's all

Do you the lady will be submissive after proposing?

@augusta123 Well, being submissive is a personal thing. It has nothing to do with the situation of things if you ask me. It's just like asking if a lady who is the breadwinner of her family will be submissive to her husband? Her been submissive has nothing to do whether she's the breadwinner or not.

@ammyluv in Igbo tradition I don't think a woman can head the family no matter the circumstance

I think if you have known a person for many years and are confident that the man is going to say yes then it's ok but it should always be done in private because it's embarrassing if he says no!

I do not find anything wrong but however this depends on the situation. I would still prefer men doing the proposal, though.
17 Mar 18
it more appropriate that way.

Why not? There is nothing wrong with expressing own views and feeling.

I don't find anything wrong if a girl proposes a boy. If she finds her emotions uncontrollable, then she moved forward and tell the person about her feelings. At least it will relax her.
