To be honest I don't understand why women act surprised and mushy when a man proposes to them. I mean you have been dating and in all of those two years you guys didn't discuss marriage? If you did, why the overly histrionic displays when a man goes down on one knee to stain his trousers with Naija dust? I don't know how relationships go, see I am a Pope but I would think if I were ever going to get married, I would have discussed marriage a hundred times with my prospective wife. Type of marriage, prospective period of marriage, number of kids, kind of education for the kids, honeymoon location, choice of city to live in, number of palmwine glasses I'd get per day, who gets tv rights when it is Arsenal vs The Promise. I mean the whole gamut.
So point is, if I am getting married to a girl she'd know a full year before the proposal. So why the surprise package? Abi she no believe me before ke? Why the occasional tears sef? Are you shocked that someone you dated for years is asking you to marry him?
Anyways, before I started dating Chinenye, I asked her, will you marry me? And she replied with a sweet smile on her face, draftmaster, of course you know I'd marry you, you leave me no choice.
See? Me I done skip proposal and engagement ring o. I have even done the math in PKE - Palmy Kegs Equivalent.

Dating someone for over 5 years n u still acting surprise he proposed? Na break up ring she doesn't expect be that na........ Op y u come d laff after u claim say u be pope?

Because we have to.

don't try to understand women....their wahala too much

Its one thing to talk, its another thing to mean what you say. All men are potential liars. It'll only be a dream come true for her when such moments occur. Its normal for the shock of a happy moment.

my dear u don't knw Hw it feels....avnt u heard abt guys dat date ladies for five,six yrs buh went ahead to marry someone else?.....


I wonder wat I will even do self wen my man proposes to me.....oh dat perfect day!* wipes out tears*

Okay why do You Still Kiss ur bride on the Alter after kissing her day n Nite when u were stil dating her years b4 that wedding day??

Acting surprised like they've not been on the guy's neck about. "Where is this relationship heading?'

SO TRUE,

Because finally they got away wth all the rubbish they did when there was no serious person!

Cos they've had several failed trips to the altar...

SO TRUE,

lol, you know this

she couldn't believe she would be his bus stop and that her treasure hunt is over

Because to ladies, marriage means an end to their life's problems whereas to guys, marriage means the beginning of their life's problems and horrors

That's what they were created to do, innit? Marry a man and be his companion. So when he proposes, it's more like "MAIN OBJECTIVE COMPLETED!". Everything else is trivial (i.e. minor objective) in comparison to being his wife and the mother of his kids...generally speaking by the way.

AM ALSO WONDERING O

Na forming

Dunno.....maybe they never believed som1 would ever marry them...

I taya o...
the signs are usually glaring to most ladies yet they act surprised.
I like what my friend did.
He called an engagement party and proposed there. Everyone who attended the party knew it was the formal engagement ceremony, they've dated for a few years, we all knew it was headed to the altar

Simply because its a dream come true...... Especially when you are with the right and perfect guy...... That is the joy of it......

Ur opinion.


If u no wan dirty ur trouser, u stand up and proposed. Nothing wrong.

Because it's a surprise. You don't know if you are the one or not. You can discuss marriage with him and make plans but you are not sure when it will happen. It is an unexpected expected situation.

O bawon lo jiji ni...

Jst compare the scenario to an employee who is stil under probation, ur mind won't be at rest until u are confirmed as a full staff......so my point is, when dating a gal, she is nt yet a full staff of ur company until u propose 2 her, so she will be like "oh my God, so I made it at last". So blame them not broda, cos e no easy, in the dating/probation period, the guy might sack them due to low performance appraisal n luk for any other gal/jobseeker to fill in the space......so many job seekers these days, whereas we have few employers/men

OK

Kwantinu

Na too much Telemundo dey cause am , they have to practice what they watch na, na play i dey play o

They were surprised because we men are liars, the heart of men are deep that only God can know how deepest it is. Ladies in the house am i right? If so show me with like.
