Should you propose to him?
In today’s modern world, many traditional roles have changed and women are now standing proudly at the forefront of many things that were previously deemed masculine. There are those who will say that a woman can now do anything that a man can do, but does this extend to relationships? For example, is it OK for a woman to ask a man to marry her?
Pat, 29:
No, I’d rather he asked me.
Frankie, 30:
I think it would put a nice twist on the concept of a proposal. I think it would be a nice idea.
Carla, 34:
I’m big on doing things the traditional way so I don’t see myself popping the question to a man. Even though things and times have changed, I think certain things should remain the same.
Max, 28:
No, I think that as the man in the relationship, I should be the one getting down on bended knees asking her for her hand in marriage.
Kameca, 23:
He has to be the one for me to do that. I have to know that he is the love of my life. Then I would have no problem asking him to marry me.
Dujon, 28:
Women these days are the ones in the driving seat; they have full control over things, so asking a man to marry them is just the next phase in modern-day relationships. So if she wants to ask me she should feel free and comfortable to do so.
Brenda, 37:
No, I wouldn’t ask my man to marry me. To me it takes away the softness and romance of being asked. I love surprises and being asked by your man is really romantic.
Kerry, 31:
Listen, if I have to ask a man to marry me then he is not worth it. The fact that I have to play his role in the relationship is an indication that he isn’t ready for marriage.
Tyson, 20:
I see nothing wrong with it. Long gone are the days of doing things by the norm of society’s expectations. People nowadays are living their lives to please themselves. So if she wants to ask me then I’m all for it.
Sasha, 35:
No I wouldn’t. There is an air of desperation around a woman having to ask her man to marry her. I think it is the man who should ask, not the woman.
Tamoya, 24:
I would ask, but I think I would be embarrassed if he said no.
Martin, 34:
Not at all, let me be the one to ask. Let me make that day a special one for her. She shouldn’t have to worry about asking me such a thing.
Mel, 38:
If I was to ask my man he had better say yes. Because I must have run out of patience waiting on him to ask me, to ask him to marry me.
