Yes, she can — Proposal guide:
The tradition has been carved in stone by generations: Heterosexual couples have a guy who proposes marriage. Since the feminist revolution in the 1970s, cracks in this monolith have been evident. The 2020s could be the decade when that old supposition is finally dissolved. Although it is not uncommon for women to propose to their male partners, recent surveys have shown that only 5 percent of straight married couples proposed. However, attitudes are changing, and women will soon be able to have the unique, heart-fluttering, soul-drying experience of popping the question.
According to a 2015 survey, 70% of men would be happy for their female partner to propose marriage. Mansplainers might argue that 70% is a substantial majority, especially when it comes down to deeply ingrained social habits. Further evidence that men are less dominant in the proposal process is that more couples are buying the engagement ring together and even splitting the cost.
You’ll know if it’s true
“Generally speaking, most couples have had informal discussions about getting married and building a life together before a proposal. It’s not about whether, but when they get married. It’s not a good idea to be anxious, sweating bullets, or praying that the person you love will marry you.
It is real. You probably know how much your partner values tradition. According to relationship expert Adina Mahlli MSW, “Before you propose to your boyfriend, make sure that you ask him if he’s open for the idea.” Your proposal may be too traditional for your boyfriend. You might be the one who has been planning the perfect proposal for years. To know if your proposal will be romantic, you must get to know your boyfriend.”
Do not propose because you are afraid of losing or insecure
This age-old trap is a trap that both men and women fall for. Darne says that it is not unusual for someone to propose marriage when they suspect their mate may be losing interest, cheating or on the brink of cheating. Sometimes, it is necessary to propose marriage because of a move, military deployment, or if the mate is attending college outside of their home state. Marriages based on circumstances and not love more likely to fail. It is equally bad to get married to the wrong person if you are getting married for the wrong reasons.
Keep your proposal short and sweet
There is no one right way to propose. Don’t put pressure on yourself to make an Instagram-worthy proposal. Tessina advises to keep it private between you two. You can save the big splash for your engagement announcement.
Only you
While you might be breaking centuries-old traditions, there are still rules that must be followed. Remember that your proposal is about you as a couple. Do not let sociology get you down. Mahalli says, “Your proposal isn’t different from a standard male initiated proposal in the same way that male initiated proposals differ from one another.” Proposals should be authentic, creative, and show love. It’s up to you, regardless of gender, where you take it from there.
