Just toying with the idea here. I am thinking about proposing in the next year and I never expected I would be in this position.

My sister was just proposed to and dude must have spent like 10 grand on the ring. I think she feels like he spent too much. It looks like the friggin thing weighs her whole hand down.

Also do you think it is misogynist to ask the lady's dad for permission?

If it doesn't put you in generational debt its not enough /s

Propose with a twist-tie ring, go and buy the real ring together. That way you don't overspend and you get the ring she wants.

If you were borrowing a bike, you'd ask the bikes owner first. Your partner is not a bike and doesn't have an owner. Her permission is all you need.
