Is It Ok For A Woman To Engage A Man

My female friend has been dating her mate for roughly 6 years now. She wishes to be married. She wants kids but she doesn't want to have any unless she's married (for security purposes she say). Everything pisses her off because she thinks that they have been dating long enough for him to propose to her. Do you think that she should keep getting frustrated over not being engaged/ married to him, or should she make a move and start the topic? Would you consider that being desperate if she makes that move?

considering the years they have been together its not bad if she makes the move so they can be engaged.. they are not getting any younger and six years for me is enough to get to know each other.. I will not consider it as a desperate move because in the first place they have been together that long and if the guy is not serious about her how come they made it that long.. they can talk about getting married and it is a mutual decision..

There is no reason for her to get frustrated over not being married to him, may be he is not ready yet. I am sure your female friend is not a child and is an adult who is able to exercise her own free mind to talk with her mate about marriage if necessary when time come. There is nothing wrong for couple to date for six years without getting marry, nothing unusual about it, some youngsters do that in this generation. If her sole purpose of getting marry is to produce children, then may be it is not a very good reason for closing the knot, there are more than just 'child production' in a marriage agreement. If she is eagerly looking forward for a marriage, she can either talk over it with her mate, or she can find other dates that is willing to promise marry her once dating for a while, it is strictly her choice and decision to make.

hello friend.. I think it will be a very good move from her side... as you have said the relationship is already lasted for 6 years .. so it is the good time for them to get married if they do not have any sound reason to wait for...what you say?

I think today it's not that much of a rare or weird in the modern times for a woman to take that step. Well, I wouldn't do that myself as a woman, because I like the male to be the more dominant one, but I don't see anything wrong with that, unless the guy is not that type who would get upset bnecause of the girl taking the initiation and who would feel that she hurt his masculinity.
