How many of us ladies on here proposed to their OH?

We both had a crack at proposing, I guess.

I proposed first - sitting in my Mum & Dad's kitchen one night I just casually asked him to marry me. He looked stunned but said yes. Turns out he'd been thinking of proposing on our next trip to Wales. Drat, ruined that one! I didn't get a ring or anything.

Then, two weeks later OH takes me out to a nice pub and 'proposed' with a ring.

So yes, I proposed, but my OH also did too!

My OH proposed to me.

I proposed to my other half on january 3rd this year. it was his 40th birthday and we went to a fancy hotel for the night.....i had bought him 40 presents and his ring was number 40......we had went out for dinner then went back to the room and thats when i asked him.....i was so nervous but i gave him the ring box all wrapped up and he opened it and looked at me, waiting for me to speak, so i said well will you marry me...then he paused...it felt like forever but was only about 10 secs, and he said of course i will.....i then burst into tears with relief lol, we cracked open the bubbly, drank that then went to the pub lol.......it was magical......id be waiting forever for him to ask me, he didnt think id have the guts to go through with it but was glad i did.....i just got my ring a few weeks ago as he wanted to save up and get me one i love......and i do lol

I proposed to my H2B and he said no.

I had to wait another 3 years for him to propose to me. I have to say, he was on borrowed time - if he hadn't committed to me soon, I would have seriously considered moving on!

Depends how you define 'proposal'. We'd been saying for ages that we were going to get married "some day". He always said "after we move in together I'll propose and we'll get married and have babies".

So we moved in together, and I started saying, "so, are we going to or not?!" He is the sort of person who needs a kick up the bum to do ANYTHING and I am not the kind of girl to wait for years and years... I knew that if he wouldn't propose, I would have eventually left him, because we'd be wanting different things.

Eventually, after I pointed out how long weddings take to plan, he said "well let's go ring shopping". He knew he wanted to get married before we turned 25 and I pointed out, "I'm 22 soon, if we take a couple of years to plan and save up then we'll be 24, so if you really want to marry before we're 25..." I honestly don't think the "planning a wedding" bit had entered his head... he probably thought "oh I'll propose when we're 24 and we can get married then!" So we went and after seeing one particular ring (mine) he just got really excited about it whereas previously he'd been all "well we can do it any time". So he went back and bought the ring and planned a proper proposal all by himself within a week... I was thinking I might have to wait a few months!

We had talked about getting engaged "one day" and I was convinced that he was going to ask me when we were away at Christmas. After the first day of our holiday he hadnt said anything so I decided that if he wasnt going to ask by the 2nd day I would ask him. So at the restaurant on the 2nd night I proposed a toast in which I said something like "Heres to us tying the knott" He very quickly pulled his hand away and changed the subject and I was gutted. Later the same night he proposed to me with a ring that the had chosen himself and told me that he didnt want me to propose because he wanted to make it special!! It was!
