Probably not.
My first boyfriend was fairly traditional. We used to talk about getting married all the time. We almost got officially engaged but eventually broke up.
My ex-fiance wasn't that traditional - however, he had some commitment issues. I let him be the first to say I love you, let's move in together, let's get married. If I had done these things when I was ready - he probably would have been running for the hills. As it was - he brought up living together first - then when I brought it back up again a few months later - he said he didn't think we were ready. So no way in hell was I going to propose to someone that had already tried to backtrack about simply living together. And actually - we had some problems around the 2 year mark - and he said we weren't ready to get engaged. We were planning on living together and I told him that I wouldn't live with him unless we got engaged first. He said that he'd propose when he felt we were ready. So - the whole thing was kind of out of my hands anyway.
My husband is also very traditional. Me proposing to him would not have sat well with him. We talked about getting married a lot before he proposed - we actually had a place picked out and a time of year in mind - so it wasn't a total surprise. I can't imagine never discussing marriage prior to getting engaged.

You know I sometimes think about it. I'm not sure if I'll ever propose, so if I'm ever going to get married she'll probably be the one doing the proposing. I'm not peachy keen on the idea of marriage itself, but if I find 'the one', I guess proposing would at least show some commitment on her part.
I don't know I think it would be sexy not to mentioned just being flattered to have a women ask to marry me. More then likey I'll be doing the asking if the time comes but there is something about it that appeals to me.
nope. I would never do it. My mother always told me, if a man is interested in marrying you then he will ask. I think it's dumb when women do that, he feels pressured then and probably doesn't want to marry her anyways.

How do you the guy feels pressured & doesn't want to marry? You don't know.

How do I know he doesn't want to marry: because he didn't bother to ask.
Never knew a man that wanted to marry a woman and decided to wait around for her to ask him.
mind blowing, I know.
