WHOA! ok,ok I'll tell you why. I'm a guy and let me tell you something if the girl proposes wouldn't that make it pretty odd. the guy proposes because it justs seems right.
talk to me sometime I'll give further info. on this topic! =D
The above is one of the worst answers I've ever read on this site.
The reason 'the guy proposes' and 'it just seems right' is because....well, society has made it a norm for guys to propose. There is nothing inherently 'odd' about the idea of a woman asking a man to marry.
Society continues to lay characteristics/model actions onto people depending on their sex, and the first guy to answer is the type of ignorant person that doesn't notice this, and defends the existing norms without having a clue as to why.
because it is the tradition of the guy to give a girl an engagement if you think about it. it would feel weird for a girl to just walk up to u get on one knee and ask for your hand in marriage and because the girl is the gentle sex so its natural
In the US if a man is entering into an engagement with a woman it isn't traditional for the man to wear an engagement ring. The woman is typically the one who wears the engagement ring.
No matter what the engagement ring costs once you have given it to her and then she breaks off the engagement the engagement ring is hers to keep (considered a gift.) Some women will give the ring back, while others will keep it.
Unless it is a family heirloom then the young woman can keep the engagement ring as it was a gift to her of the young man's pledge of love. A man who has given an engagement ring to his girlfriend and either one breaks up then a man should not give that engagement ring to another woman that may come into his life. Women would not want some other woman's engagement ring. If he still owes money on the ring then it is entirely up to you as to whether you wish to give it back to him or not.
It depends on who broke the engagement then who gets to keep the ring. If the woman breaks off the engagement the man keeps the ring. If the man breaks the engagement, the woman keeps the ring.
The man gives the engagement ring to the woman.
No. An engagement ring is given in contemplation of marriage. If the marriage occurred the contract was completed and the ring became the woman's property. Unless there was some prenuptial agreement the ring belongs to her.
Well, it's usually customary for the woman to give the engagement ring back to the man unless he insists she keep it. (This is assuming the man bought the ring in the first place.)
This depends on who broke the engagement. If the woman breaks the engagement, she has to return the ring. If a man breaks the engagement, she gets to keep the ring.
No, once a woman is given an engagement ring it is hers to keep, but many women would prefer to give the ring back as they are no longer engaged. Also, even if the man gets the engagement ring back it would be crass to give it to another woman should he become engaged again. If the engagement ring was a family heirloom then it would be kind of her to return the ring.
Whether the woman purposes to the man or he proposes to her it is the man that gets the engagement ring and not the woman. If he accepts your offer then you can buy a wedding band for him once a date is set for the wedding.
The woman is supposed to return the ring to the man.
No, the woman does not engage a man; he gets engaged to her. The couple can go out together to get the engagement ring; he can surprise her by buying an engagement ring and ask him to marry her.
