FILTERED away from HOWL JENKINS;

In your world, is it considered socially acceptable for the woman to be the one to make the marriage proposal first? I would appreciate an answer without the added sarcasm or judgement, thank you.

It's not an easy question to make, you know.

Oh, for fuck's sake-

Just fucking ask him.

[mrsnose]

No need to be rude.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

I'm not!

I proposed to Merlin. Granted, this wasn't on either of our worlds, but love is love so I don't think it matters.

[mrsnose]

Only thing that would matter in this circumstance would be love, I'd say.

Are you planning to propose, Miss Sophie?

[ Ew. Weddings. Ew. Commitment. Why would you even? Ugh. ]

[mrsnose]

I might be.

[candothat]

Anyone can make the proposal.

Are you going to?

[mrsnose]

Do you think he ever will, if I just wait?

[deadmanbusiness]

My fiancee told her brother to tell me that if I didn't propose to her soon she was going to propose to me first. Which was her way of proposing to me.

[mrsnose]

Did it work?

[unflagging]

Well, yeah, sure it's acceptable.

I mean, I've known some women who'd like it better if it was the man who asked them first, but, hey, it's the 21^st century, right? There's no rule that says who's got to ask who. It all comes down to personal preference.

And communication and all that other stuff too, of course.

And, hey, congratulations.

[mrsnose]

I've heard it is, yes - the twenty first century, that is.

It might also be impatience. But yes, I was curious too! I grew up knowing of very few possibilities when it came to adult relations, so.

[signatures]

It's probably a bit queer, but you shouldn't let that stop you.

[mrsnose]

Oh, I would not. But I did want to know if it was done.

[coyote_walking]

Sure, why not?

[mrsnose]

Thank you - an awful lot of people are agreeing with the thought.

[princesstype]

Socially acceptable? I mean- it's rare, I think, but... if a man is shy...

[mrsnose]

If a man is shy... and the lady isn't?

[After seeing this, there's no way Uhura is going to respond over the network.

No, she's going to find Sophie.

And smirk.]

[mrsnose]

[She's hiding! In her room, which is now full of books, so it's more like a study room, since she's been - let's be honest here - sharing the bed with Howl for a while now.

LIVING IN SIIIIIIIIIIN.

And so on.

And she looks up and notices Uhura is there. :|]

Miss Uhura.

[lawbender]

If he minds, he's probably not worth marrying.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's badassbender

[mrsnose]

I don't think he'd mind.

It is unusual, but not unheard of.

[mrsnose]

I've found a lot of my most recent past experiences can be described like that, so why not add something else.
