There’s nothing wrong with asking. I hope everything goes well.

Yes, of course it’s okay! Traditionally it’s only on February 30 (so once every four years), but I don’t see why we should limit ourselves to that.

Yes, in 2019, for sure. My daughter hinted and hinted for her boyfriend to pop the question. I told her to just ask him, but prepared for a possible no. He ended up asking her, she said yes

I think it’s fine for a woman to ask a man. I’m just not sure if the man would feel like you’ve taken that opportunity away from him if he was planning to ask you.

How did you go? Some men are more traditional than others and wouldn’t appreciate it

It depends on each individual! I proposed to my husband after only being together for 6 months, he wore the engagement ring and everything! I do not regret it we have been happily been together for nearly ten years and married for 4 years.

Id say go for it but…. there aren’t many traditions left these days. Let him ask your dad and then ask you, it is a great surprise for you.

I know stereotypical romance & all, but I’m old fashioned & would still prefer a man to propose. Sorry

Yes it’s ok for a girl to ask a guy! If you’ve discussed marriage together and think it’s for you then I cant see why not. Some guys I think would like to do the asking themselves though but If the answer is yes then I’m sure he wont mind that it’s you that asked and not him.
Good luck!
