Mach said:

Damn...lol

Byron said:

the 4th time was me asking TR to marry me ...

the 1st 3 times i said yes to the guy cuz i thought at that moment in time it was the thing to do

silly me

dont say Damn like that to me Byron

Mach said:

No, hun...lol...my "damn" was more like "Whoa...I'm impressed!"..lol

I have been proposed to twice.
I didn't accept either propsal because i wasn't in love with either of them in that way.
It would have been selfish of me and unfair to them for me to do so.

Byron said:

you are saying i am not worthy of 3 proposals






i am SO worthy














just teasing ya hun

Mach said:

He's on a roll lately

you're a riot.

Ocean said:

indeed it is. we have a LOT of bureaucracy to get through before we're actually living in the same country though.

it's all good however - she's visiting next month for 5 weeks and we're getting the ball rolling with the paperwork in the meantime.

JohnP said:

that's great ..I'm happy for u.....hope it all goes well

Mach said:

Noooo...I meant that I thought you and TR were together from the beginning..and that I didn't realize you had half the male population proposing to you beforehand...lol

(whew...that's good)

Byron said:

Actually I had been .....

Heavenly said:

well we had cold feet a little right afterwards, but it's been on the cards for about 3 years and we've been together for 6....and best friends for like 11 years....so, um...quite happy about it actually.

it's the cost and the paperwork which is the biggest stress. and one of us will have to move away from family and their home country (most likely me).

thanks Kylie

This question should be just directed at the guys. Women don't have the guts to do the asking. Or they are just hanging on to that dream that they had when they were sappy little girls about their dream man getting on one knee and proposing to them. Barf. It's sad to see men still falling for that.

why? if it's a question of inequality then I can understand, but some people just like to be a little traditional. what a crime!

Spats said:

Ha! What a joke.

Spats said:

I know a few woman that have done the asking.....

Spats said:

Read the thread again, and open your mind back up.


My wife was the one who did the proposing - I dunno if it's the same elsewhere as in the UK, but the tradition is that on a leap year day (i.e. Feb 29th) the woman gets her chance to ask her man.



My wife asked me during her shift at the pub she worked at..just took me to one side (on the disabled access ramp, as it happened ) and kind of blurted it out as best she could. Nothing pre-planned, no roses, no ring, no seranade just the facts: She wanted to marry me, did I feel the same.
