Hello!

I love my boyfriend and would like to get married. I’m thinking of asking him, wondering if it’s the right thing to do.

  • 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


  • YES! Men take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr haha Go for it!


  • 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


  • I think etiquette says on leap years…. but I think its fine anytime.


  • yes of course! My friend asked her partner…I cant wait for the wedding!


  • Valentines Day is around the corner too!


  • Absolutely; equality! If it feels right; do it. Good Luck!


  • These days yes ,but he wants to first.


  • 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.


  • If you know in your heart he is the one ..GO FOR IT..This is 2014 not 1914 lol. All the very best of wishes for future happiness. ;-)


  • Sure! If it feels right to you, it’s the right thing to do. Good luck!
