So! You'd love if we just grabbed The ring off your hand With No emotion whatsoever and Scream.."Its about time, give me my ring!?"

Like death??

Let me use an analogy for you.

Suppose you go for a job interview, this is you dream job. You see yourself starting a career there, you love the position.

After the interview, thw HR people love you, they said you were the best so far. They are very positive and they say you'll hear from them after a specified time range.They went on to say that they will definitely hire you if management signs off.

A couple of weeks after, the specified time range is getting closer, you get no job offer. You send an email to the HR and they say they're waiting for management to sign on it, but they are very sure you will get the job.

Then one morning, you wake up and there's an email on your phone with a job offer.

Won't you be surprised? Won't you be happy?

Same thing with getting engaged for a woman, she's a good girlfriend loving and caring, she is positive that she will marry her partner but it isn't 100 percent until she gets a ring.

Why are all the commenters using this question to insult women in general? Don't you people have mothers, sisters and female friends who have been a positive influence? How some of you think is really appalling.

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.

GOFRONT:
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??

raayah:


Such a sexist and bullcrap thing to say. If marriage is beginning to a man's problem, why do men get married.

Is a married man going to get through years of pain to give birth? What about domestic violence - aren't married women the victims?

An average married man in Nigeria, gets up, eats hot breakfast, goes to work with packaged lunch, comes back to eat hot dinner and have sex with his wife.
His meals, clothes, house, kids are taken care of.

Is this your definition of suffering?

Dudeweedlmao:



If you cry when he proposes, thats very understandable
But being surprise is almost like you didn't think he loved you that much to propose. I mean, He is your fiancé afterall

LoL!



I doubt if I'd ever cry...It's almost impossible.
Okay, I think I get your point.

Buh put yourself in A girl's shoes...Not every guy Dates with the sole purpose of Getting married, even if they loved you really Much. some maybe ain't ready.

so, seeing that he actually wants to spend their life with You? It's kinda.............

LoL...Okay, I really don't know what to say!;

MUST IT BE A DIAMOND RING?

why not??

daretodiffer:


I don't think so

I will have to feign it or think hard and long about all the reasons to be surprised before I will be able to scream for joy.

I won't date court you if marriage is not in the table anyways.

Hahah!



that's weird...
Really? you can't date Someone Just for dating?
