When I used to see people propose to their loved ones and the lady mostly would burst in tears after the "Will you marry me" question I thought maybe it's because of fear or something scary not until yesterday when my friend proposed to his girlfriend and same thing happened too and til now I have sincerely failed to figure out why ladies normally cry instead of being filled with joy. But what could the tears means? Joy Surprise Pain or? I have failed to figure it. Did you proposed to your girlfriend/wife Did your boyfriend/husband proposed to you What was your experience

@rakski I think it's the surprise and unexpectedness that makes ladies cry right? I think even some ladies won't know that they are shading tears so funny

It's happy tears. Most of the time anyway. My husband was the one to propose. And he had this whole thing planned. Would be weird if I had proposed to him first... Now I wonder, if the future wife proposes to the future husband is she supposed to give the guy an engagement ring? Is there even such a thing?

@lovebuglena Definitely it would be so weird for a lady to propose to a guy and I was also thinking if such thing exist then would the guy wear the engagement ring with pride? Like seriously!!!

@Ciskoba There are definitely engagement rings for men out there because a guy can propose to a guy... But traditionally in a male/female relationship the guy is always the one to propose.

Well, I think it's a mixed emotion. I don't know for sure. When I was dating my husband back then, we planned everything together. We kind of knew from the start. We have 6 years age gap. And I was the only girlfriend that he brought to meet his parents. We dated around two years before gotten married.

@Ciskoba thank you so much for your wish. Well, just like any other marriage, we have up and down, but we talk and try. Marriage is about two parties. Both of you should show same effort, it will be useless if only one who tries, and the other one is not.

@Cheyee it's exactly that mixed emotions and feelings that I have failed to understand it. And for your case, I must say I really love how you and your husband handled your things and I think he must be a very lovely and loyal husband. Wow I wish you guys more thousand years of happy marriage

I guess, overwhelmed with mixed emotions. How many people have you seen propose? I would have thought it would be a private moment but nowadays it seems to have become a public performance. Of course that's just awkward if the person refuses, the person proposing feels humiliated, or the other person may feel obliged to accept even if they are not sure, because everyone is watching.

@Fleura I have seen very many couples propose as in my country it's not something people hide and most ladies wants their partners to propose to them in public. And by the way I have also seen a partner who turned the offer down and the guy was left in tears instead and I felt pity for him
