Dear readers,
first of all, English is not my first language, there might be quite a few mistakes in the text. I am sorry.
Who was the one in your relationship who proposed? What was it like? Was it like you had expected it or did you hope for a different proposal? How would have been your dream poposal like?
I am just curious.

I don’t have any expectations for a grand proposal. But if he really wanted to hit me in the “hell yeah” it would be while we are out camping and yaking. I would be so thrilled! When we first met that was what we did most often and probably the reason I fell so hard. I previously had a long marriage with a man that had zero interest in the outdoors unless we were at a sporting event.
I didn’t have expectations. In fact, I didn’t expect it when he did it (we had talked about marriage beforehand and agreed we were ready). It wasn’t this huge elaborate thing. He just brought me somewhere scenic on a hike, stopped me, said he wanted to marry me and spend his life with me, and that was that. He got me a simple band that I loved, and I was just excited to marry him.
I honestly could give a shit about a proposal or weddings. I have friends that do and hype it up more than the actual idea of marrying their spouses and I wonder how happy they are. But maybe that’s just being judgmental because I don’t really understand how someone could freak out over a proposal when the real reward is spending their lives with someone they love.
We’d discussed marriage and she expected I’d be proposing some time soon. I proposed on a double date (the other couple knew what was up and were going to take pics). All four of us were on this goofy date where we were all dressed a clowns. I wanted her to be caught off guard despite knowing I was intending to propose. I think I accomplished that, lol.
I actually never excepted to get proposed to 1st off all, I make it very clear to whom ever I date, not a girl you bring home to mom, I do want to get married but most people neither understand nor accept me and definitely not the #1 choice in wife for your son. Despite that, my husband asked. I actually walked right into it. I can’t figure out if he was planning it or he just kinda said it on the spur of the moment but here’s how it happened:
We’re watching TV. There’s a seen with Halloween and I say. “I know it’s been like 4 months but be warned; if we ever get married I’ll only accept a Halloween wedding date.” To which he responded. “Let’s do it.” And 4 months later we were married on Halloween just like I said. I honestly wouldn’t have asked for it any other way, it was perfect. We’re not fancy, I don’t need a ring, that told me right there where his heart was. That was my dream proposal my husband doing it the way he saw fit.
