How Do I Propose To A Man?



"Will You Be My ... Husband?"

Today, women are twisting traditional gender roles more than ever, whether they're running for the presidential nomination, competing in a male-dominated professional golf tournament, hitting the open-wheel racing circuit, or heading a Fortune 500(TM) company.

As women take on larger leadership roles in the workplace and in society, it's only natural that they've begun to assume these roles in the realm of romance, as well. This "role reversal" trend is not only evident in the number of women proposing, but in society's willingness to accept this shift, as six out of ten Americans (59 percent) do not think that men should always be the ones to propose.

I've always considered myself a Modern Maria Clara, and lately, this idea popped up in my head, which really sounds very unconventional for me, and I know, I am "capable" of doing this, when the "good candidate" comes along.....And I know, I don't have to wait for the next LEAP YEAR to have this done (for some reasons, I was told that it's okay for women to propose to men during Leap Year (the last one was 2008 )...And all I needed is that good candidate, the right reason to propose, and of course, the right time.. ..I know, a lot of eyebrows will be raised, but hey! there is this good possibility that I will!...Don't dare me!...(you'll never regret it anyway)

Elz,

Kinda bold approach. You have a lot to offer a man!!! The man would be blessed. But, for me still living in the dark ages. Prefer for a man to still propose. Because i might be the queen of his castle. His still the king of my heart. And he can rule anyway he please!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

[I God is pure love...

Hahahahah! Liz, indeed, that is an ultimatum, a DO or DIE one....But hey, some men respond to it faster when there is a "sudden death" threat!

AMS, I wouldn't mind if she's my girlfriend but I would still like to feel that I proposed because I like to prepare for this with roses and an engagement ring and a special dinner. I'd like it to be a BIG MOMENT for both of us! It means that I am ready for the plunge. But during courtship, I rather like to do the chasing and the wooing. The most I would appreciate is the "subtle" hints from her side and I would pick it up from there!
