Monthly Polls: Ideal Time for a man to propose



Hi everyone, I finally concluded on what to make this month polls all about and you already have a hint from the title of this post. Interesting right? I know! It's a topic that most ladies would love for us to discuss. Guys do not shy away from this, your opinion would be very much needed also. We would get to it in a minute but before then i'll like to announce the results of last months polls.

Ready? Let's do this....





Last Month, in light of the new government or should I say old government with new name in our country we did a poll on what we would like the government to work on as it's top priority that last month. We had different categories to be voted. Below are the results of the poll. Outside the bracket was the number of people that voted and inside the bracket represents the percentage.

Power Supply
  5 votes (45%)

Building Roads
  0 (0%)
Setting up Infrastructures
  0 (0%)
Providing Employment
  3 votes (27%)

Fighting Terrorism
  1 vote (9%)

Fighting Corruption
  2 votes (18%)

Improving Education
  0 (0%)

Fuel Stability
  0 (0%)

Building the Economy
  0 (0%)



Apparently a couple of the options had no vote at all. I know this would improve as our viewership improves. So that't it, according to the polls, the government should take up Power supply as it's main priority. Funny enough that is the single sector that I have seen a little improvement since this government took seat. What of you? What improvements have you noticed from the government?

Now this month, the question is What is the ideal time for a man to propose or for the woman if the woman is feeling adventurous. How long after dating a lady should a man propose. This is strictly if it has to be based on time. Yes, I fully support getting to know a person very well before proposing no matter how long it take but people change everyday and we learn even more about them everyday. So let us leave that aside for today and focus on just the time. This time we have a few for you to choose from. So would it be ideal for a man to propose to a girl after knowing her for....

3 weeks - 2 months
6 months - 2 years
3 years - 5 years
6 Years - 10 years
10 years and Counting


As usual I would need your answer along with your reason. If you are on a mobile device, you can scroll to the bottom of the blog and click "view web version" under the tab written "Home" at the near bottom of the screen. When you change to the web version you would be able to see the polls to the left of the screen then you can vote.

So what's it going to be for you? How long should it take a man to propose?

I say 6 months - 2 years. Anything more, the guy gets too comfortable with his girl & soon she becomes more like his buddy or roommate. Anything less, well most people have a 1st class degree in hiding their true nature, i mean the guy could be a serial killer for all you know so more time will be needed to know this person.
Speaking of this new government, yes nothing has improved yada yada yada. There's no Jesus christ in this new government so expect no mind blowing miracles anytime soon. It's been like what? A month. Time will tell. Be patient. Isn't patience the new month's focus?

6 months - 2 years. At this stage the awkwardness and pretense (to some extent) is no more and the couple would have started to feel more comfortable around each other. As Esit said, later than that, it becomes too comfortable and with time would start to feel like an old marriage

Apart from improvement in light there has been a negative drastic change in security and like esit has said we should be patient time will tell

As for wen a guy shld propose I'l say they should date for 6months - 2years before he pops the question

6month-2years is enough time for a guy to propose,..nowadays,most guys take forever to propose because they're not settled financially hence the delay.

Apparently everyone wants to get married in 2 years time. Awesome! lol

I don't think there should be a specific time, there are a lot of factors to be considered before proposal. Factors like age, employment status and all of that. I don't expect a 21 year old in a relationship to propose after two years, he still has a long way to go.

That's a sure fact however that's not what the debate is about. It's about what you feel is right let's say for a lady that is ready to get married. How long do you think it should take a man to get to know her?
