Ladies, would you actually ask your lover's hand in marriage? As for what I think about this, I wouldn't have a problem with her asking me to marry her. I know there's a lot of women out there that is old fashion and would never ask her lover to marry her, and instead wants to be asked. I'm old fashion too, just I find it a breath of fresh air when I see a woman asking her guy for marriage. If she so happen to ask me to marry her, I may actually accept. This question is for the guys too out there and would love to hear your input on this as well. 
This is a repost. I did this blog in Feb.2007 and thought that I would brush the dust off this old blog and throw it right back out there for the newbies.

this is good to hear.. it seems like life cycles with difficult times and great ones, and many times these are mixed up with difficult moments and great ones.. Smile.. my favorite saying is "this to shall pass" I am happy when the difficult times pass and savor the great ones passing.. Smile
I think this is perhaps why I would ask a man to marry me, if the cycle were just right it would just feel natural to do so.

So what's wrong with her asking your hand in marriage? Nothing! Monica asked Chandler (on Friends) and that was THE best scene ever!

I think that now days that the edges are blurred enough to be able to just be.. smile.. it is like asking for sex/dates/marriage lol men used to have to be the ones asking all the time and now we can to... men are also socially accepted that they can make less money and can stay home with the kiddos, as well as be supported by a woman if they so choose..

If your woman really loved you, why would she wish something as evil and life destroying as marriage on you? I wouldn't wish marriage on my worst enemy.

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with marriage. As for me, I'm just not ready to give up my freedom yet.

I asked my first wife to marry me and that turned out a total disaster ! we were divorced less than 5 years later.
my wife I've got now asked me to marry her, 15 years later we are still together and as happy as the first day we were together.

I have mixed feelings. Not that I don't feel it ok for the woman to ask, I just have found that the old saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" is written in stone Would you ladies feel scorned if your man was not ready or just preferred the status quo? Would you immediately began to plot vengence? Or....would you just accept it like us poor fellas have had to do for centuries?  Just wondering how a woman would feel......HONESTLY?

I would ask a man to marry me, without a problem. I would prefer for the old fashiioned style, but if push came to shove and I wanted it bad enough yeah!

Ooops! I see not one woman on here has delt with that lil concern I mentioned. I wonder what that means? Ladies, what happens if you get a no? Does that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" kick in? Just curious

Shy, I suppose that depends on how long a woman has patiently stuck by her man waiting on the question. I read somewhere, and there's some truth in it (especially for the younger couples that have never been married a first time); if the guy talks about and agrees with the same concept, morals, etc., but doesn't ask the woman.... he wants to be married, just not to her.
Truthfully, I think every woman who decides to ask is just as prepared as the man for that possible no. I can't see vengeance. Hurt, anger, betrayal... yah, sure. But vengeance?
