Is it ok for a girl to ask a boy to marry her?

Hell yes! Just started humming Sister Suffragette to myself! It's 2012, go for it!

I could never be with someone who would be emasculated by a proposal from a woman. Just my opinion....

I discussed our 'future plans' with my boyfriend and we both agreed to a long engagement and a small wedding. We have been together 23 years, have 3 beautiful daughters and still enjoy (rather than endure) each other's company.

It's not about who does the asking, it's about both of you agreeing/compromising and making each other happy.

TOTALLY AGREE!

If you cannot be yourself and ask if you want then the relationship is doomed to be filled with years of worrying about the others ego. Not a good sign when you are expressing your love for another.

DH have been together 20 yrs next month. Married almost 18 yrs and last night when he surprised me and showed up to pick up two of our kids for me the sight of him still made my heart leap. Doesn't get better than that!

My DH is a very confident man and never felt unmanly when I succeded at work (I was milue therapist of the year where we worked) beat him at a game/sport. I'm competitive not pushy. I just like a guy who can challenge me and likes to be challenged. It has made the past 20 yrs much more enganging in every way. Trust me he still wears the pants in the family he just does it with a strong woman beside him.

Why wait?
I'm a planner and DH is sooooo laid back, he's horizontal. Sometimes the planner needs to take the lead.
EpicKevin, is your real name Kevin? That's also my DH's name...

OMG "DH is sooooo laid back, he's horizontal" I just love that Takes all kinds to make the world go round and our hearts to flutter

My DH still wears the pants in my family too. I just tell him which ones to wear.

No! Don't do it!

I agree with the majority here.. Go for it.. Any male who is intimidated by that is probably not worthy.

Ah.
Yes! Do it as soon as possible!

Would it bother anyone in this day and age? Equal rights and all that.

Me and my DH have talked about this subject before and he wouldn't have liked me to propose because he wanted to do it, I just had to be patient.

I think of it this way, men plan the proposal, ladies plan the wedding, got to give them their moment.

But what if they have no intention of asking? I certainly would never have asked. I would have been just like my Brother, lived together 20+ years never been married.
You know your own partner, everyones different.
