    Me and my girlfriend were openly talking about how i was going to propose to her and such. She doesn't know the major details since i want part of it to be a surprise (Like how i propose to her and such). She picked out the ring she would like (Since I really did not know what kind of ring to get her and i wanted her to have one she really liked) and such. But then she said she always imagined her being the one to propose, (We're both women, and i guess she feels like the "man" haha ) so she said "Maybe we can propose to eachother. " I was really confused by this. I'm not a wedding expert at all. Would this interfere with anything or cause confusion or something? She got upset because i told her i would talk to my friend karley(my best friend, practically my sister), she started getting mad because i talk to karley about everything. But she didn't realize that it was because i'm just worried. I would LOVE to recieve a ring from her, i just don't want anything going wrong, you know?

    I was confused as to how this would work... When one of us already proposes won't it be a little awkward for the other? I'm just not sure how it would all work. Advice please?

    LOL, you are all over the place girly. So she wants to propose to you, you want to propose to her. Is there one person who wants to propose the MOST? If she said she always imagined her being the one to propose, do you have any problems just letting her do it?? If you guys are in a committed loving relationship, I don't see there being anything awkward or confusing about it :-) It will be a lovely experience for the both of you, whichever you choose! I can't imagine two people both proposing to eachother, because then it would just sorta be like a wedding or something lol. Both giving rings, etc. Choose one or the other and then if you want to, maybe the person who proposed can go get a ring also ?? :)

    @MissTX:  

    Haha, i know.

    I do really want to propose. She doesn't have a problem with it. She's really excited to get the ring. But she was pretty mad and upset with me. So i think she really did want to propose as well. But yes, maybe instead of proposing the other can just get a ring. The awkward part i imagined though, would be the "Will you marry me?" Even though the other person already asked that. Haha. But if i got a ring, I would probably wear it on my ring finger anyways. I guess I should just talk to her about it again.

    But i still would enjoy advice from other people~

    I've known couples where both partners got engagment rings; my brother got a man-gagement ring after proposing to his (now) wife b/c he felt left out not having one.  So, for example, she could propose to you and then you could get her an engagement gift/ring.  It wouldn't be like a second proposal, but more of a gift that symbolizes your engagement.

    Actually I've heard of same-sex and different-sex couples proposing to each other. It doesn't always involve both parties getting a ring, but there's no reason why not.

    ETA: Thanks for posting that example @totheislnds:. It's one I was thinking of!

    @totheislnds:  

    That's amazing! 

    I think we'll do that!

    I tried looking online before to see if it had been done but i didn't come up with anything.

    This makes me so happy.

    @eagle:  

    The way you both did it sounds so beautiful.

    Thank you, this reassures me that if we do it it will be okay.

    And haha, lipstick lesbians. My girlfriend used to be very boyish. But after being in a relationship with me she suddenly got into dresses and makeup. She's so cute.

    But anyways, I'm so glad i posted this up. Thank you everyone for the advice!

    If people still want to though, you can post your opinions about it. I like to hear what people have to say. And if there are any more stories about both proposing, i would love to hear them!<3

    @xLolitaChanx:  well.....to be honest, is the age in your profile correct? Because I'm not generally a hater on young brides, but I do think both should be of legal age.

    I'm 16 and she's 18,

    But we're not getting married at the moment.

    Just proposing.

    It's hard to explain without giving the whole story of my relationship.

    But no we're not getting married yet.

    After my SO proposes I have a reciprocal prosposal planned for him with a ring as well.  I plan to wait about a week and then surprise him. 

    So I think it is possible, just decide what works best for you? Or you can do it at the same time... like right after one of you proposes thent he other proposes back.

    That's adorable! There are lots of different ways you can do it, but it could be as simple as one doing the more "dramatic" proposal, and once that's done then the other can ask during an intimate or sweet and relaxed moment.
    My then girlfriend now fiancée proposed to me at the niagara falls (she's Irish, I'm French and we live in Ireland) when we were on a trip to Canada for Christmas, so she did the big proposal with the ring, but she doesn't want an engagement ring so Im going to wait until we have a "moment" and I'll ask her! Cheesy, but she used to be the cheesy one so it'll be a nice touch, I think.
