Is it weird for women to propose to men?

I was planning on proposing to my boyfriend, we had been planning a romantic weekend out of town, I had even picked out the gift I would offer him,

I didn't even drop any hints or anything, but he actually beat me to it, the second I was gonna ask him, he asked me before I could ask him!!

(PS, I thought my gift was so cute, it was an engagement cactus, so that we could watch it grow, as our lives grew together-I originally wanted to plant a tree together and ask him then, but he lives in an appartment, and it would have been difficult logistically-but I was really flying by the seat of my pants, I hadn't thought anything through, I wasn't even sure if I would have gotten down on my knee or what!)

go for it! Take control of your life, if you want to marry him, Propose to him!

Anything goes these days, if you know what you want do it, I think its soo lame to hear about girls ragging on their boyfriends about, "when are you going to propose", dropping hints and so forth is not my style,

No - I think it's OK to go for it!

The only con I can think of is if he is planning to do it himself soon and he feels like you beat him to it.

I do think it's a good idea for couples to discuss marriage as a concept before either proposes - that way you know you're both on the same page and you won't have a nasty shock when you find out he never wants to get married or he views your relationship differently than you do. But that goes regardless who does the proposing.

i think myself that each couple is completly different. i dont see anything wrong with a girl proposing. way better than sitting around dropping hints like a tool!

but i know me and i think id like to know that the lad has properly thought this through and is fully commited and is doing it off his own bat so to speak. i wanna feel special and loved and stuff. and i know that if i proposed i would always think in the back of my mind that mb he wasnt truly ready etc. plus, i think id die if he said no!!! but maybe........... if i felt he really wanted to and just cudnt find the guts to ask i probably would. but it would have to involve paris and fairy lights. id still want my perfect proposal so id make him do it after i did it!! oh, im gona be a witch of a fiance! and id be ok bout the ring. would never trust a man or a friend for that matter to pick it out. no one knows my taste. i like the look of old style vintage designs and i know theyd arrive with a 3 stone on gold arrangement. and id hafta fake delighteness while looking to "accidently" loose it in the sea. oooops!

Traditionally, men propose to women, but if you don't like the traditional Thanksgiving, traditional wedding or traditional proposal, then go ahead and propose to him. If he is upset about you proposing to him, but he wants to get married, then say well, then you can surprise me and propose to me. Or bring up the subject of getting married, and maybe he propose within then next couple of weeks. Hope I helped!!!

I think every girls dream is for a man to get on his knees and propose to you, and get married in a sparkly white dress and have a huge wedding cake, but if you really love this guy go ahead and propose to him

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Though a lot of people are breaking traditions now days. A lot of people don't do things traditional anymore. Like paying for dinner it is nothing wrong with a woman buying dinner or buying the man a card, I see nothing wrong with it, just as long as he can do things for you too like that. Men like to be treated sometimes too. Though I just hope chivalry is not dead but in a lot of people it is. Ask him what he thinks of marriage and your relationship first to get an idea of what he thinks. Good Luck.

I don't think that its weird a lot, I think that women should propose to their boyfriends if that's what they want to do. Its doesn't always have to be the man that does it.

Do it and good luck

There is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. One of my friends proposed to her bf back then, now they are happily married. If he says no then forget about him because there are a lot other fish in the sea who will be very grateful if you propose to them.

Some men will say no because theyre the one who wants to propose to you. I see a classic already in neighbours, where Frazer said no and then he proposed straight after.

you know what if you are confident enough go for it...people always say that they want to be equal to men but when push come to shove they back down..things are constantly changing i don't see why it should matter..Be aggressive and take the lead why do men always have to take the lead in a relationship.Nothing wrong with proposing
