My SO and I have basically already agreed we're going to get married after we both finish up our college educations, and I have informed him that if he "wishes" to really propose, he had better not do it the way my dad did it (My dad turned to my mother, tapped her on the shoulder, and said, "We should get married."), as I really would prefer something a little more romantic.
Now, if the time comes when I think we should be formalizing that proposal (say his graduation, which is the furthest out, is impending, and nothing has been said...though I doubt this scenario sincerely), I'd have no problem proposing to him. But then I've always been headstrong and independent.
