The discussion, trending among students of one of Ghana’s most popular universities, has drawn mixed reactions and passionate opinions.
According to the beautiful student, tradition should guide such moments, insisting that the man should always take the lead.
“That one go be ‘yawa,’” she said emphatically, stressing that it simply does not sit well in her culture for a woman to propose.
She further explained that there are subtle ways to encourage a man to propose without stepping over traditional boundaries.
Cooking at home and inviting him over, she suggested, is one practical method.
“You can do it in a nice way, like inviting him when you cook at home," she explained.
She, however, added that the cooking strategy works only if he genuinely likes you.
