 Guys do tend to get side tracked.
We think we should have the house and the car and a bit of money so we can provide for our new family.
Its very old school thinking but still holds true, Im sure he wont be offended.

We'll have been dating for 4 years on March 18th, so I think I'll do it then. I just am worried about him feeling like I'm taking his job and emasculating him. I'm not at all expecting him to say no; we've talked about marriage many times before, and I'm pretty sure he just hasn't done it because he hasn't decided on the right time yet. So I assumed it was fair for me to decide the right time for us. I'll keep everyone updated!

 Did you do it traditional "29th February every four years", or are you a modern woman "I'll ask the guy whenever I want to, because that's my right as a human being"
Did you, did you, not meaning to push, but if you ask him, don't forget to come back at tell us what his answer was. No hurry, you just take your time to do this right, and don't forget to update your post.

 Do it tomorrow. If that isn't too short notice. 29th of February is a traditional day for women to propose. Or wait 4 years.
But nah, of course women can propose any time of the year if they want to. If the man wants to marry you he'll say yes, he wont be offended would he?

 I don't think it's out of line, but I like the more traditional role of the man asking the woman. I say that because of this- it might offend your man that you are the one playing the male role and he might feel emasculated. He has to tell his friends that his girlfriend asked him, not the other way around. I'm not saying that's how your man will specifically react, but I imagine that's how many men out there will take it. I was reading this book "It's a jungle out there, Jane" and there was a section of how men are "forgetting" what their role is because women are now working and more women are starting to be the breadwinners. Basically it was saying that these new generations of men are feeling worthless. Who knows how true that is, but that's why I say let your man feel like a man by letting him propose.

But remember, a man must be able to take "No" as an answer. How about you?

 Not at all. I think at this day an age most of the gender barriers have been broken which is a really good thing. Best of luck to you!
