lets see... my ex husband proposed repeatedly til I said yes.(from the 3rd date with him on... thought it was a bit quick and a bit odd which is why it didn't work) He typically did it hanging around my house ust sorta standing there and out of the blue "you wanna marry me?" I said it was too soon to give it time... Then after a few months I said "do it the right way and I'll probably say yes." So we had a nice quiet romantic dinner for 2 out and I did say yes. Proof that opposites attract and sometimes that is a very bad thing...
Anyways there was the one that I found classy... This guy I dated in highschool. He talked to his dad and asked permission then talked to my dad. It was very sweet but I was young and definitly not ready. It was awful saying no though he understood why. He was a sweet person and a dear friend but in his asking and peristance mentioning it I had to think on things and realized I just wasn't ready and I couldn't be sure I felt to him as he did to me and it would be unfair to him. We had a nice dinner and when we were alone in the basement of his parents house he asked.(later asked again at a park... and again brought it up a few more times)
Then there was another guy in highschool. It was true love til an oopsie with the door alignment that caused it to end up like romeo and julliet.(long story) We were alike in many ways and we would of waited til the other was ready and we had talked on it. He asked me the totally wrong way though... drunk and over the phone. :P But then tried to do it the right way later... then my dad went wacky and forbade us being together.(this incident was before that other one where the dude asked his dad and mine permission)
Then there was the one that took me on a moonlite drive and too the beach and asked... we were going to handfast but over time and due to challanges of various things happening it never happened.
Then there was one of my ex's I met online(they one with the substance abuse issue). He asked online after long mushyness... He could be romantic when he set his mind to it and I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. But after we got together offline it became apprent that probably it would be unwise to marry him. He wasn't the same offline as on... and it was just awful.
The two from highschool and the one newagy had no ring... They had some sincere love though and good hearts. But my exhusband he did have a ring and but it was his ex gf before me...(neither she nor I were amused with that fact)
I've heard of some prosing online... later though they do it again offline and get married. The few I know that did that actually did well.(except in one case where they didn't get married and poor guy ended up hurt)
As for me I combine traditional with modern. I perfer to discuss things and if one is thinking something bring up the topic and get a feel for how the other feels. Then talk on life philosphies, goals, hopes/dreams, etc... feelings on kids, careers, and various things. Figure out how compatable you are and how feasible it is if attempted. If it looks like its feasible and it just feels right well then go for it... traditional way. Not necisarily some fancy restaurant but a nice quiet candle lite dinner for two, picknick in the park, stroll under the stars, that sort of thing and then ask.(and who says it should only be the man that does women should too) then it would be an engagment for awhile til we were sure we were prepared for things... Least in my case I've had one bad marriage which I got pressured into(within 6months of the engagement I got married because he and his family said we must, etc due to chinese horiscope and just because he wanted to do it that exact moment). If I get married again I want it to last and to hopefully assure that it takes time and compatability... without quickly jumping into things. |
