Now that The Bachelor has finally come to an end, we know the truth behind all the rumors. You've made your opinions about him very clear, but I'm curious to know something else — how you feel about dating someone who has popped the question three different times already! Yes, each situation in Jason's circumstance brought different challenges, but I've got to say, I'd be pretty wary to get involved with someone who can't seem to commit — for whatever reason.

Supposedly an old British custom had it that women were allowed to propose on leap year day, today, February 29, and their object of affection wasn't allowed to turn to them down!

A few weeks ago, I was talking to my yoga instructor after class. We were chatting about relationships and such, and somehow it came up that she proposed to her boyfriend (now husband). She said that she loved him deeply and was ready to be engaged but didn't want to wait around for him to pop the question so she just did it.

Last night Tumblr users signed on to see "Marissa Nystrom, will you marry me?" bannered across their dashboards, whether or not they followed proposer Justin Johnson's blog. The link goes to this genuinely thoughtful, romantic, and well-edited video, but I presume his girlfriend follows his blog.

There's always a risk involved in a marriage proposal — she (or he) could say no! But a person heightens that risk when he decides on a public proposal. Yesterday on Australian national television, a man surprised his girlfriend of three years and proposed to her on stage.
