I'm proposing to my boyfriend

OMG SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE! Tomorrow is our one year anniversary and I plan to propose to him. I know that there's a stereotype against this. However I'm more masculine (serious most of the time) and my boyfriend is more feminine (playful and more affectionate).

You shouldn't 12

    Do you mind telling us how old you are? 18-25, that sort of bracket?

    You said that "I'm proposing not to rush the wedding, but as a promise of my loyalty" and that's awesome! Stick to that!! No need to actually have the wedding for at least another year or two - the longer you wait, the better it'll be.

    Plus, it's great that you're asking him. I'm surprised that even in 2018 it still gets mentioned sometimes about whether it's cool for women to propose. Course it is!!

    Congrats!! Best wishes for you both.
    Luv u!!!
    too much too much

    Too soon.

    Give it another year, or live together for at least 6 months before deciding to get married.

    You can easily promise your loyalty with a Promise ring or something. Marriage on the other hand is joining your assets by law. That means all his debt, or future debts, as well as anything you get yourself into and more are all joined. Marriage shouldn't be like a quinceanera, celebrating a milestone of something, no. It's a serious partnership that started and survives off of genuine love, understanding, and acceptance of who you are with that took years to build.

    I understand you two are so much alike omg, but enjoy it. Bask in the love for a while before you tie the knot. It's not a bad idea to want to get married, but there's no rush.

      I agree totally. Seeking a proper marriage counselor beforehand helps to. My pastor made us go thru 6 sessions of questions. And kate and I aren't even doing it legally. Other than her being my registered owner in our county😂

    I don't think you being the woman is bad at all. I actually think it's kind of sexy. 1 year seems soon but it depends on the people.

    • I would agree with this in most cases, but I proposed to my beloved wife after less than two weeks. So far it's been 11 of the happiest years of my life.

      There's quicker proposals than this. It's your opinion, but I feel like it's the right time.

    Honestly, If you want to spend your life with him then good luck to you, but if you're both truly in love with eachother, getting married shouldn't matter. It changes the square root of jack that you have a piece of paper and a bit of extra jewellery.

      You're 100% right. Boyfriend and I been together for years and just recently started living together 9 months ago. We both know that when we do get married (saving up for a house first), that it'll be no different other than me helping him pay off his student loans. xD

      I'm not proposing because I want an extravagant wedding. I'm proposing because I can't imagine my life without him. I know marriage itself is just paper and jewellery. However we're so alike that it freaks me out (in a good way). I'm proposing not to rush the wedding, but as a promise of my loyalty.

  • I'd have a very biased opinion on this, but I think it's abnormal. However, if you enjoy this relationship, then keep going, including now with this

    It's fine for the woman to propose but be suttle. Talk about how long you've known each other and what's in your futures. His responses will gauge whether to pop the question or not. Being engaged for a lengthy time before marriage is acceptable.

      Oh yes he does :) He takes care of me every time I get sick. We had a few fights that didn't last long. We think alike, and texts me everyday to see if I'm ok. We even talked about marriage and the future together

        I hope that you have talked about marriage and the future a LOT. That is what makes for a successful relationship, tons of open communication.

        I will give an example. My girlfriend was pissed of, piiiissseeed off at me last year. She was being such a bitch I was ready to leave. Finally I asked her what the fuck is wrong with you.

        Get this, I was ready to leave the relationship I love over toilet paper. TOILET PAPER. Seems I always put it on backwards and it completely sends her off.

        So make sure you know what you are getting into, I guess is the moral of the story.

        I love my Kate still to this day and thought it was adorable. But hey, what can you put up with?

          Yes we both have talked about those topics a lot. We started around 4 months. We talk about it almost every day. We both know that marriage can bring tough times. We face tough times together. There's quirks that annoy me, but I love him regardless. Besides, we can be engaged without rushing into the wedding.

    Are you a chick? If so it sounds like you already have his balls, why not make it official? Either way, good luck.
