k so have any of you ever thought of the question who is going to propose... since there is no traditional guy to propose... which girl takes the position of proposing. my girl and i talked about it... and we have decided that we both want the opportunity to propse in our different ways... i wanna take her up to mnt oray and propose to her. and then which last name do u take.... what are your guys opinion on this subject...

my ex and i had discussed this, and i was going to propose, she found she didn't like the idea of doing so. the last name issue was the biggest for us, though it was odd that whichever name we took, we'd have the same initials for both of us (M.R. or M.D.). i know this is going to sound a bit cheesy, but we were going to go for whichever last name fit the best with our first names. on a more serious note, you could go for adopting whichever person's name would be easier to change (i.e., if one of you handles more of the financial aspects, has more influence, is older, more dominant, etc.)

i'm not sure if this provides any help, but i hope it does. =)

Which of your last names do you like best? Lol that's the name I'd go with.

Never really talked about it. With my ex though I proposed. It wasn't planned. And we never really thought about last names. Frankly at the time neither of us cared. As long as we were together. Although that's the past.

Hey guys! Cheer up! Love does last sometimes! It doesn't always fail. And...well...my last name is Marshall (go away stalkers!) and I really want to have a son that I can name Marshall. So I'm thinking I'd want to go with my partners name. Because Marshall James (that would be his middle name) Marshall isn't very cool.

Oh, and I would probably do the proposing. I'm sort of aggressive.

Well for me and my Fiancee its already been decided. I "unofficially" proposed and I will be the one to officially propose. And as for the last name, she's taking mine, she's already decided that. I guess since we're butch and femme, I'm butch she's femme, or I'm the "guy" its seems only right that I propose and she takes my last name. I had no problem with it. Kinda fits since her dad has said that he'll treat me as if I'm a "guy" with his daughter. So I guess it not only depends on the couple but also who's what in the relationship and what everyone is comfortable with.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
