I wouldn't mind asking the guy to marry me. I think it's a good idea. A girl shouldn't have to wait for him to purpose to her. Yeah it's romantic when the guy does that and sees his girl in tears and says yes, I will marry you. What if the guy has tears in his eyes if a girl asks him to marry him. I have always thought about it too. I've never been engaged or married. I think about about purposing to my bf. But I'm also afraid he might turned me down. I love surprises and hope that one day soon will happen to me.

Not sure I'd ask a man to marry me.Seem when the time is right the topic has already been discussed many times.
Being on the same page in life makes marriage a strong possibility.
But if in the beginning it was disclosed neither wanted to remarry or one didn't,odds are the man never changes his mind.

What I hear many times from men and woman I know personally is.To many want the big rock on their hand,which neither can afford.A commitment is between 2 people.The ring is only a symbol,in trust they will marry.So for the woman if your going to ask your mate to marry,start saving for his rock.
I know I feel the shake of heads when a few read this. 
Keep in mind a ring is nothing.But a well commited relationship is priceless.
Marriage should have no price tags.  
If my man does not already have a rock @Alady, then I am for sure not goint to marry him.
Could not resist saying this.

I wouldn't mind a rock. I'm not a golddigger in any way but I don't see anything wrong with a man displaying his love and affection by gifting his wife with a nice ring. I would rather have a ring than a high priced wedding.In our family all of the women have decent sized rings that they have worn through their marriage rain or shine. My Dad upped his rings when his finances improved after years of marriage and five kids.

Janet I'd have to agree.My X gave me 1ct VVS diamond solitare on our 17 anniversery.We were married on the 17th.Thought it was a wonderful,besides a shock.The ring will get passed to our son,when he get married.Not as an engagement ring tho.As well they have to learn what they can budget for.Hopefully he will have a long marriage,when he desides to marry.But his lady will have to wait 15 yrs to get ring.

Talking about rings, a few years ago I was dating this guy I met at church. We had talked about possibly getting married, etc.
We were looking at rings one day and I saw what I thought was a reasonably priced ring that looked good but not going to break a working man's bank.
He looks over and sees these other rings that are only $38 dollars. He said, "Hey, how about one of these?" I was stunned and the clerk said to him in exasperation, "Sir those are promise rings." He said, "So?" Needles to say we never did get married.

Lately I seem to navigate to the cute ones with their hands in their pockets. Maybe because of my age? I rarely meet men in their sixties. I do have a few friends that age and they are budgeting their money trying to catch up to retirement needs. The younger ones have no long term investments. Money is not everything but it helps.

Thanks for the coffee Packer.
texasgal i'm sure,most of the comments have been helpful.I understand you have never been married,and hope someday you will be.
Sometimes pushing a man or a woman,to make that commitment only pushes a person farther away.Enjoy what you have with Eric,and as a few have mentioned have your ducks in a row.
You may consider living together first.Because you'll understand the day to day life styles and each others habits,and quirks,also who's responsible,with timly things like bills,home upkeep,etc.
Right now dating 6 months your only seeing the positives of each other.As well a factor of lust,and the excitement of a new relationship.
Good luck in looking at all factors of that commitment.

6 months?!?!?!?
Whoa girlfriend, hold your horses!!!
I'm not going to pretend to give out marriage advice - being in separation purgatory & all.
Last week, when my young (22) friend was having man problems, I told her this....
We both know these 2 women who live in our tiny town. Both close to my age. Both have 4 children. Neither have ever been married. They are 2 of the toughest, strongest, most successful women I know. I reminded my young friend of these 2 women.
And for me, after dating my husband for a year (then he proposed), we still didn't get married for another 4 years, and look at me now? I'm on a cheesy dating site (from which I never date) & my marriage was the single biggest mistake of my life.
Oh I know my hubby is "one of a kind" (lol - not really because all I meet are men that could be his clone!), but please - take your time!
btw, my 1st wedding, the diamond was a 1 carat. If there's ever a 2nd, I'll expect at least 2 carats....j/s.

If anyone knew my husband they knew in order to get groceries or take out the garbage it took post it notes. He was so laid back the dog had to go to him for a walk. Some men just assume that marriage follows courtship and are waiting on the woman to let them know the date.

Had to come back to this topic.Ran in to an old class mate this week end at a car show.Has a beautiful 78 all orginal Z28,was stunning.I knew he lost his wife 5 years ago.and mentioned I'm glad he's busy with his hobbies and cars.We both laugh when I mentioned remember when those low riding cars didn't kill our back and knees?He replied yeah but my wife made me forget,when we got home.Have to find a new one.
Was that my clue????lol

Yes I would ask a man to marry me, some might really like that, and were scared to ask you for not knowing for sure if the feelings you have for them were as strong or the same. Like me I don't express my feelings, I'm not a touchy feely type I don't want my man all up under me. We can walk together w/o hugging, holding hands, I'm with you were together you know I'm your girl I know your my man, but don't get me wrong I do like that at times but don't smother me with affection its a turn off makes you look needy and weak. My opinion only ijs

I'm the opposite, could not be with a cold fish man. My man is far from needy and weak, but is very affectionate and I love it. To each her own.

By the time I was 28 I had been engaged 3 times and asked 5...yikes! Never married any of them...I had cold feet or circumstances gave me a change of heart.
At 31 I was dating this wonderful man who lived 350 miles away...6 hour drive...after 2 years I asked ...what are we doing? How come we don't just get married, you quit your job and move in with me? We married 3 weeks later, he put a 3 month notice in at his job, and he was settled in by Christmas. It lasted until the end of his lifetime.
Don't be afraid to ask...something good may come from it and at least you will know where you stand after the question.

Sunshine Thank you for the story,and congrat on your asking a man after 2 yrs of dating.I would say that a fair time to get answers.And a beautiful outcome.
Having vested time in a relationship of 2 years,is worthy of asking questions of where are we going with this relationship.
Many after 6 months or less,wonder the same thing.If you don't see signs that the relationship is building,odds are you might not be on same page.Communication is a strong factor in any relationship.

~ My initial answer is ‘no’ ……… but then again ‘never say never’. I would have to be pretty dog-gone sure or had picked up that he wanted to but was maybe too shy to ask …….. I dunno. Still, initially I would say ‘no’.
~ At this age, I don’t want a long drawn out courtship and yet ……… I don’t consider myself the type to just jump into a relationship. Sounds like an oxymoron I know.

Do you think a woman asking a man to marry them is a good idea? How long would you date a man before you asked him to marry you? Or is it better to wait for the man to ask you to marry him?
Just looking for opinions. It was brought up in a conversation with a friend about me asking my boyfriend Eric to marry me. I have never been married or engaged.
Ask him.....get it off of your chest.....if he says no.....then you can either stay with him a little while longer unless you decide to break up because he said no....and if he says yes....you can plan your wedding.... I smell a wedding sometime this year....let me know how it turns out.....I wish you the best....

Asking the man to marry me I would not do. But letting him know my expectations of relationship growth to marriage,from day one is a given.If he does not fufill my expectations,time to move on.If the relationship was 6 month or longer the nagging kicks in and I would say "why aren't we married yet?" "did we ever talk about marriage? humm can't recall if we did." "do you expect to live with me forever without a commitment"--suttel hints comment etc
