Why Eva Mendes Should Not Propose to Ryan Gosling!

We haven't heard much about Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. The most we see of them is when she's out walking his dog or they're doing a coffee run. However, I'd rather have not heard anything than what I did today: Is Eva going to propose to Ryan?

A story came out that Ryan wants to marry before having children. Yet, nothing was mentioned about how he specifically wants to marry Eva, only that he does not want to have a child out of wedlock. I had no idea he was ready to have children so thought this sounded great, assuming it's with Eva!

Here's where it gets tricky, though. Eva doesn't believe in marriage and has spoken out against it. Now that the issue's before her, she's having to do some serious thinking about her future with Ryan. What made me fall over is that she's toying with the idea of proposing to him. Yes. You read that correctly. She, gorgeous Eva Mendes, proposing to Ryan.

There are articles out there saying Eva has no intention of marrying and having children, but that it isn't stopping Ryan from proposing. I'm not sure what's changed that's putting the ball into Eva's court to propose. If this story is true, should Eva do it?

True, it's not like Eva would be proposing out of the blue. It also sounds like there's a pretty high chance Ryan was going to propose anyway. But, I can't wrap my mind around Eva actually ring shopping, planning the proposal, and asking him to marry her -- what -- on bended knee? 

Let's say she's starting to change her mind now that proposing has fallen on her plate. The next time Ryan mentions marriage and asks what her thoughts are, Eva can say something like, "Yeah, I'm opening up to the idea more." She can let him know there's a chance she'd say "yes" to his proposal and let him go ring shopping.

I can't help but think he won't treat her as well down the road if she goes all out for him like this. Don't misunderstand. I've heard nothing but good things about Ryan. My concern is that if she bends all of the way that he'll take her for granted later. It's a risk I don't want her to absorb.

On that note, no, I don't think Eva should propose. It should be a last resort were she to. I'd like her to show Ryan she's receptive to marriage before going all out and trying to  keep him in her life. I'm old-fashioned and believe in the traditional "man proposes to woman."

A lot of women have left comments kindly reminding me not every woman wants to marry. This happened especially with my Jennifer Aniston posts when I asked whether Justin intended on proposing to Jen (who -- by the way -- tearfully accepted). No one who condemned me came back and said "Vanessa, you were right, she did want to marry him." But, bygones.

The reason I mention this is because whenever a woman who doesn't want to marry says so with as much emphasis as Eva has, she runs the risk of complicating things. Here, I have to wonder whether any of this would've happened had she not gone this route. Sure, she was honest. But now it's on her to propose. This is something for women to consider when being so vocal about not wanting to marry. 

Tell me what you think! Should Eva propose to Ryan?

Until next time...

Shine like Platinum!
