You Do But Does He?

Every four years the roles are reversed and on February 29th  women can get down on one knee and propose. 

You can  also eat your own weight in chocolate but it doesn't mean it is a good idea.



Reasons why this idea should be boycotted!!!

1) Its emasculating

Instead of handing him a ring you may as well hand him his testicles in a pretty lil box.
Men like to feel they are in control of a situation - don't be the one to take away that feeling.
For example IF he is really old school and wanted to ask your father before he proposed you have taken that away from as well as his testicles.



2) Men Like To Feel Like erm Men!

He is the alpha male, king of the castle, he wears the trousers in the relationship and even if he doesn't go ahead an pretend like he does, proposing is an important decision that you should let him make.  It is common knowledge that if a man wants to do something he will! Men do not like to be rushed or feel manipulated into anything.  If a man REALLY wants you there is nothing that can keep him away. 

Maybe you should just exercise a little patience?


3) That awkward moment when he says no! 

Seriously, though are you really prepared for that level of rejection?
Your relationship will cease to be the same, a cloud of confusion will set over what you had or at least what you thought you had as well as the shattered self esteem.

I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around.

Sorry to break it to you - you may be the girl of the moment and not the woman of his life, yes he may talk about marriage and children but that doesn't necessarily mean he will want all those things with you. 

4) If it was really okay...

If women proposing to men was really fine and dandy it wouldn't have a special date in the calender nor would this date occur every four years - so I'm inclined to think that it is a little bit abnormal. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO!!!!

There is an alternative option for women that are dead set on this whole proposal malarkey - you could give him a promise ring (or a watch if prefer you can even engrave it) it has the same premise without the big commitment afterwards.

With a promise ring you can let him know that you will always be the woman that he first fell in love and will never change and that you believe you have A LONG FUTURE together.

You can gauge from his reaction how he feels and by that you know where you stand.

Clever, isn't it?
