Queen Victoria proposed to her future husband Albert. That was because she was the Queen. I remember some cartoons from the Victorian era making fun of Bloomers. They would show the women wearing Bloomers propose to their emasculated boyfriends.

I like the old.....She chases him until he catches her.

The following is so obvious:

“Women traditionally want to be courted, and men still want to propose. Most men are not comfortable being asked.” She added: “Men can feel powerless or rushed. They think, ‘Why isn’t she waiting. I want to do it on my time.’ ”

If the woman asks, she may resent that decision years later, Ms. Velazquez said. “If she jumps the gun, five years down the line that action might backfire. She might say to her husband: ‘Why didn’t you ask me? I don’t have the great story to tell people about how you proposed.’”

What? You mean women might later blame the man? Shocking, I say, shocking!

Hmm. I proposed to my husband in February of 1992, a leap year. I didn’t even know about this tradition. I may have to choose Brigid as my patron saint.

My wife asked me to marry her, I thought it was great she had the guts to do it. I had already bought the ring however, though she didn’t know that, so she was extra happy when I took her back to my place and put it on her finger.

Like minds and all, hell we both knew after the third date we were meant for each other.

26 years come April and it was the smartest decision of my life hands down.

Did she ask lesbian couples for their opinions?

St Brigid was known for making long lasting supplies of beer for churches and lepers out of water.

Heck, I can’t even ask a guy out. It’s not who I am.

My wife proposed to me.

Does “either we get married or I’m walking away” count as a proposal?

You're forgetting that other exception . . .
