Warning for any men reading this .......if your girlfriend has told you that she is taking you out for a random , no occasion romantic meal for 2 tonight or has got tickets to be in the audience of a television show , you WILL be getting proposed to , especially there in front of the nations viewing public or a bunch of waiters who were hoping for a quiet Monday night so they could go home early .
Yes it's 29th February , a leap year , when tradition says that a woman can propose to the love of her life ....hang on a minute , let me check my calendar , yep , as I thought , it IS 2016 and women have been relatively liberated for quite a few years now , so why do we keep these ancient traditions?
I honestly don't know the reasons behind this tradition , I just remember every 4 years , various television shows do the 'do you want to propose to your boyfriend?' feature and they probably will for decades to come .
I don't really think of myself as terribly traditional , but I guess I must be as the thought of having to propose to someone is totally alien to me(I know I don't HAVE to , it's okay!!) If I proposed to a guy there would always be the thoughts at the back of my head 'would he have ever proposed to me, did I force his hand , does he REALLY want to be my Husband?'
I do wonder wether men feel like this when they propose but I guess not as it's more 'normal' for a man to do the asking and I do always feel sorry for anyone who has a public proposal as I feel that this is a special thing between 2 people and if you really didn't want to get married ....how do you say so in front of an audience ?
However I admit to loving a video that was all over Facebook last year , where a guy created a music video asking his girlfriend to marry him in a cinema packed full of their friends and family , any man who goes to all of that trouble to propose is a keeper !!
So anyway congratulations if you get engaged today , I wish you a long and happy marriage and all the love in the world X X
