Should i ask my boyfriend to marry me?

If you feel that it is the right time, then i say go for it. Just because the standard proposal is made by a man doesnt mean you have to abide by that. If you think the timing is right go for it. I wish you luck with whatever you do!

PLEASE listen to me. I know I’m way down this long list but I think I might be the only sane person here.

GO FOR IT! Asking your boyfriend will be the best decision you could make and if you don’t you might regret it.

Everyone is saying don’t do it, you’ll scare him away…well if he’s that of much a wimp you probably don’t want him anyway.

I knew that my boyfriend is not the most romantic so when we decided to head to France for a couple of weeks, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to propose. We’ve been together for over 4 years and we had just bought a house before going away together. I thought, well, I cannot pass up getting engaged in the most romantic city and the world…and he certainly won’t come up with any great plan.

Originally I had wanted to ask him while having dinner in the Eiffel Tower but their restaurants were booked while we were there. That was okay because I managed to get us tickets for a dinner boat cruise on the Seine River…so romantic.

I proposed to him through many tears and of course he said yes! He had always said he wanted to be the one to propose but was so excited about all the effort and love I had put into the proposal.

AND than to make things even better, about a month after we got home, he did a second proposal (which was a total surprise) on the beach!

Listen, all I can say is that things could never have been so perfect and romantic (the way I wanted it to be) if I hadn’t done it myself. I’ve heard so many horror stories for proposals and I told myself that wasn’t going to be me.

Anyways, enough rambling. Good luck and I say go for it, it’ll be the best moment of your life!!

You can try but I strongly suggest you not to, if he doesn’t want to get married you might be putting him in a difficult position and I promise you if he marries you just “because you asked” you will regret it the rest of your life.

I suggest you to use a trick to make him see how much he loves you and needs you and how easy it would be to lose you. For some reason people , especially men can’t see how wonderful marriage can be with the right person and when they see it it is usually too late, the girl is married or dead or something. So go ahead and give him a hint about getting married, if he refuses move on (trick #1), if he still doesn’t want to get married then move on for good, you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with a person who can’t commit, why doesn’t he want to get married?, just in case someone better comes along?…

In this day and age, no, it’s not wrong for you to ask. The old tradition used to be that women could ask their boyfriends to marry them on 29th February of a leap year, but as is with most older traditions, this seems to have faded out.

Be careful though, and make sure you’re not going to frighten him off. Make sure he’s going to be receptive to a proposal from you. Softly softly wins the day… good luck.

I asked my then boyfriend of six months to marry me at the top of what felt like a huge mountain in Matlock. He said yes (didn’t dare do any otherwise, or I’d’ve pushed him off the hillside!) and we’ve been happily married (most of the time!!!!!) for 30 years. It was the last day of February on a leap year, tradition says that girls are allowed to ask on that day. I’m so glad I plucked up the courage.

My friends mom was going out with this guy for 5 years. She asked to marry HIM in front of 7-11! HA! shes an awesome lady. but about 2 years ago he fell off a ladder and past away.

Talk about it, but don’t ask him to marry you. There is just something special about a man asking a woman to marry him…be a little more patient and keep loving him! Maybe he’s getting ready for it, you should be communicating your feelings to him without pressuring him, though.

Enjoy your partnership and make the best of it for now.

God Bless!

I dont think it`s particuarly wrong for a woman to do the asking,but me personally i`d wait until my bf asked me because although i`d know i`m ready for the commitment i couldn`t be certain that he also is,but if it was him doing the asking then i know he`s ready and not feel let down if he says no when asked.

Goodluck in whatever you decide to do,xx

Experts say youll starting a bad precedent in your relationship where he’ll sit back and you will do everything and when the relationship is in trouble he’ll say youre the one that asked for it.

But I would love that, I would be shaking out of my boots, unable to speak and would you have a ring my God, I would wonder why did I wait so long to bring you to ask though, but I’m speechless.

Start putting it to him (indirectly) that u would say yes if he asked u to marry him. If he truly loves u, he will get the message and will pop the question. However, if u have been seeing each other for less than 1.5 years, it is highly unlikely that he will ask u to marry him, and I suggest u don’t pressure him to. Just my opinion. Gd luck

My wife gave me a hint by telling me that her mom had alwayz thought that we would get married and all the happy endings. That made me ask in less than 30 days.

Be smart when you have to introduce the idea and be very creative in the way that you dont ruin it for him.
