what he said just reinforces the idea that the man is obligated to pop the question thus it's not really natural for a woman to do so

I'm just really low-key and I don't require a huge fucking deal about it, man.

Oh he doesn't mind a bit. If it pissed him off, he'd tell me. He's more likely to tell me about what pisses him off than what touches him emotionally. You know how the men are....

You might take traditional gender roles too seriously.

No, I don't take them seriously at all. My point is, because there's still some awkwardnes about a woman proposing, a guy should be able to pick up hints and do it himself rather than force his girlfriend into a situation that could be very embarrassing and awkward.

Disclaimer: I've never been in a serious relationship, so this is entirely specuation.

But as long as we keep thinking that way, said unnecessary awkwardness will prevail.
Only when we, the enlightened, modern, intelligent and incredibly good-looking people, stop caring about those roles, might they be abandoned at some point.
Not to say, that what you said isn't true when it concerns people who actually take those roles seriously and live according to them. But one shouldn't generalize.

You make an excellent point.

I think it's completely okay. I don't see it as desperate or embarrassing at all. **** the rules. Gender shouldn't matter.

I never understood why anyone (guy or girl) would surprise propose anyway. like shouldn't they talk about such things before anyone pops the question. and then at that point the question is more of a formality anyway.
