This may seem like a simple question, but more and more women are taking the imitative to propose marriage to men. Yes this is unorthodox, however its happening, so I want to know - is it ok for a woman to ask a man to marry them?
In my humble opinion, I say nope, it is never ok for a woman to ask a man to marry you. I say this because I believe it is a mans job/duty to pursue a woman for marriage. He should ask you to do him the honor of becoming his wife. Now this may seem traditional (i think i am to a certain extent) but to me, if a man wants to marry you, he should ask. That is his demonstration to you that he would like to take this leap. Not that this can save you from getting married to a man who isnt ready to be married, but at least if the shit goes south, you can at least tell him "You didnt have to ask me!!"
Now I consider myself progressive and all that, but on this one, I MUST fall back on tradition. If a man would like to have me as his wife (what a blessing that would be for him :-) ) then i think the least he can do is take the time to ask!

I'm with you on this one. It is a man's job to ask. In my humble opinion, if a woman has to ask that makes her a little desperate. If a man wants to marry you he will ask. I
I could recite scripture on this one and quote from the bible about how a MAN leaves HIS home and takes HIS WIFE and the TWO become ONE...but...I shall stick with my Grade A Opinion (ha ha) on this one. I stand by the following statement: The highest compliment a man could pay his woman is to ask her to be his wife, to give her his name and prepare a life for them to be joined as one. Because this year is a leap year, its custom for the woman to propose to the man. Its like the year of boldness for women. I consider myself bold every day, irrespective of whatever year it is and I feel that he should ask me.
