    Hi guys :slight_smile:

    Coming from a conservative and backward community, I don't understand so many things about dating etc. :icon_redf

    I have seen many photos of the guy proposing to the girl. (or guy proposing to guy and girl proposing to girl) :slight_smile:

    But I always had this doubt. Is proposal done to ask for marriage? Or is proposal done to ask one to be his/her boyfriend/girlfriend (be in a relationship)?

    :confused:

    It's to ask for marriage...to be each others forever. To tied the knot type of deal

    Ok question with this because I am in the same boat... Is it acceptable for the dominant one in the relationship to propose?

    It's to get married but it's almost like what's the point? The divorce rates get higher every year.

    Actually its beginning to flat line. However that's more so because fewer people are getting married rather people liking one another eternally more.

    But I get what your intent was.

    Yknow what's weird, I don't like the idea of marriage but I do like the idea of some guy proposing to me. But that's probably just my ego talking.

    You propose with a ring and you are engaged, then after that you get married, some people stay just engaged. Either way, it's a big commitment.

    Yeah, I don't see that it would be a problem. The submissive one can definitely be the one to propose :3

    Either party should be able to approach the other. After all, it takes two to marry, why shouldn't it also be possible for two to propose?

    This might be kind of mean, but I was thinking about what I'd do, if I were proposed to first:

    Them: *Kneels down*
    Me: We're not in the bedroom, this can only mean...
    Them: ___, will you marry me?
    Me: *intentional pause* No.
    Them: What?! Why?!
    Me: Because, I was going to ask you!

    And then we make sexy engaged love.

    I've asked my mother why her and my father never got married, her response was something along the lines of:
    "Well he did propose, three times. I laughed."*




    *To understand that you sort of have to know the kind of man my father is, he has a habit of proposing to women really quickly, convincing someone else to pay for the ring, not paying the money back, and in one instance he actually pawned a ring and kept the money.



    In reference to the subject about who should propose, I don't see any reason why it should have to be one partner or the other specifically. I do think that proposals are best done in private though. I'm not keen on this idea of public proposals where it's like the style of the act itself and subsequent reaction/response is at least partially dependent on the audience of onlookers.

    Usually when someone refers to a proposal, they're referring to a proposal of marriage.

    But technically, a proposal is anytime someone suggests or offers something to someone, and that could be offering a date or a relationship.

    I don't think it matters who in the relationship proposes. Whoever gets to it first! ^^
