The man should do the asking

The guy is responsible of doing the asking. It looks cheap on the girl doing the asking.
It goes for the guy.

The man of course, if he's not man enough to ask, then, he should wear the white wedding gown and the lady the Armani suits! This is Naira Land oh, we are inculcated in the African culture.

in an Archaic world, D woman, mIn a civilised world, Any

As for me, the man should be responsible enough to be the first to ask the question.

As for the ladies,it will look as though you are cheap.

na it shud b 7/30 men 70 n ladies d oda inshut 60/40 we both love each oda n not d male doin all d loving init

nairaland ppls,i feel anybody shud just pop the question,after thinkin deep 'bout it

It's only in Naija that i come to find out things in a relationship is only for the men to ask but not for the ladies to ask. Now tell me, what the difference if a girl ask a guy if he would marry her? she want to know where the relationship is leading her to not that she is forcing him to marry her. If a girl ask me, would I marry her, "If am not a player and really do love the girl in questioned, i will give her my best answer and that will be, "yes i would love to marry you." and if in the cause of the relationship there is any circumstances hindering my plans in getting married to her, i will let her know soonest not to give her a wrong signal.

In most advance countries that we are all eager to learn their ways of life and still do, a girl will boastfully be admiring a guy, wishing one day he will say some thing nice to her. They will even go as professing their love for the guy even if he did not. But for naija babes, hmmm!!! chicken go grow teeth first. If ever a naija babe confess her love to you, check the time at which she is confessing those love words, circumstances and who the hell are you?

anyone can ask ,this is to help them know their stand. if you don't get a positive reply , its up to u to decide whether to stay or leave

i think d man should,
yea he should. . . . .

THE MAN SHOULD DO THIS JOB OF ASKING,

AND THE LADY SHOULD BE PATIENT

Let me tell a story, (not sure if its fiction or true, also i might add or subtract from the story).
     Once upon a time, a boy and a girl became good friends during their freshman year. They dated each other (i am not sure whether there was sexual intimacy), through out their university days, the girl fell deeply in love with the guy.
     After graduation, they where still close and they saw each other regularly and talked on the phone. The guy didn't say anything about permanence with their relationship, but the girl (being a typical naija babe) didn't ask any questions, instead she was nursing high hopes that the guy will take the initiative to take the first step.
     Few years later (about 7 years, with the girl still hoping that she has found Mr. Right), the guy came to the girl's house to drop his wedding invitation to another girl. The girl fainted, when she became conscious, she almost went insane.
     The lesson of the story; if you are in a relationship (both males and females, but especially the females), don't hesitate to ask (in a non threatening way), about the future of the relationship, and be able to understand/discern the meaning of answers given (if na player you dey deal with). It is very important so that you don't waste valuable time with a relationship that has no future.

exactly what iice said, whatever floats your boat, i doesn't matter who proposes, as long as it works out,

the guy should be man enough to ask a lady to marry her but some guys are so shy especially the first time lovers. If a lady asks a guy to marry her, she will be taken as being cheap or forcing herself on a man. it is not an idea i will ever support. You can give him a sign an encourage him to ask but do not go ahead.

It should be the man.....because if the woman ask, the man will take great advantage of her............
