I had to look up what you guys were going on about concerning proposals. Had never heard of it :tongue:

In case someone else doesn't know either...

Women Propose to Their Men
According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, St Brigid struck a deal with St Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every four years.
This is believed to have been introduced to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how leap day balances the calendar.

Gloves Hide Naked Ring Finger
In some places, leap day has been known as “Bachelors’ Day” for the same reason. A man was expected to pay a penalty, such as a gown or money, if he refused a marriage proposal from a woman on Leap Day.
In many European countries, especially in the upper classes of society, tradition dictates that any man who refuses a woman's proposal on February 29 has to buy her 12 pairs of gloves. The intention is that the woman can wear the gloves to hide the embarrassment of not having an engagement ring. During the middle ages there were laws governing this tradition.

Watch out guys marriage proposals could be at your door.

Love could be in your air

Come on ladies back in the day the ladies asked the guy to marry you.

Who would you ask?

Enjoy your day.

With a good looking chap like you I'm sure she is planning the perfect way to propose.
Maybe she is making the perfect cat sandwich for you.
She probably studying you to find out your likes and dislikes.

Always feed them first before delivery. Lol
It always work and some guys don't think having a nice meal can have a meaning.
Lol then I guess for the real treat to entice them lay the selection out lol.

Could you imagine the looks on their faces. It would be hilarious.
They wouldn't know what hit them lol

Thank you Crystal for this information.
I didn't know this.
Personally I can't imagine myself wearing gloves. It's to hot or even proposing.

Oh no! The clock is ticking and I haven't proposed to a guy yet.

...Suffering from an acute case of performance anxiety .

So this is what it feels like to be a guy... scared
