Why won`t he propose to you? What is stopping him?

J,
Yes it has been done before. I have seen where the girl asks the guy to marry her. I see nothing wrong with that. Times are changing with everything and i think that will eventually become very common. I say if you don`t have your heart set on him asking you, then i say GO FOR IT!!!

I feel different about this we men should ask our lovely ladies to marry us that is just how it should be they should be pampered with the question not us!

This is leap year, which means the woman can ask the man to marry her.

I agree with Mindy, I have heard that as well!
And Missy, some guys may not propose due to fear of rejection or something.
I think it would be beautifully romantic if the tables were turned! You would definately have a different story to tell. Be a little unique and GO FOR IT!

I don`t see how, after 6 years, he could be that scared of rejection.

It is that whole committment thing, a lot of guys are afraid of it. And to persue a more committed relationship brings out all kids of fears. It is one thing to date somebody for a number of years than to be married to them. He might possibly think that maybe she doesn`t want to get married, or maybe he is just trying to throw her off by not proposing yet.
My friends were together for 10 yrs before they got engaged, and they broke up for awhile after they did. Enagement and marriage changes relationships and some guys don`t like that change.

In my opinion, nobody should have to date someone for ten years to get a marriage proposal.

With my friends, they met as jr in high school and waited until they were ready for marriage. She is graduating college this spring and works and he is half way through school, which he does from home and works.
They wanted to make sure they were financially set and all of that. They did it the smart and responsible way. They made sure they would not be going into any debt or have any debt before getting married.
She paid off all of her student loans, which she paid her whole college tution herself, and he is legally blind so he is going to school for cheap.
THey knew they were going to get married sooner or later, they just wanted to make sure the timing was right for both of them.
God forbid, people think before they leap!
