For the Bible readers and scholars, you know that Ruth proposed to Boaz, right? Oh, you did not know? Pastor told you something that was contrary. In that, "man must propose to me, it is his job" mindset? Do not worry. I am here to bring some knowledge and wisdom to you.
Read Ruth 3:7-9. Obviously, he (Boaz) was full and drunk well, thus time for a long nap. During his sleep, at midnight, Ruth came to his tent, uncovered his feet and lay at this area. If I recall correctly (correct me if I am wrong), laying at someone's feet in the "Eastern world" means worship, giving reverence to a guru, asking for favor, etc. Interesting huh? Wonder would this be consider idol worship in the Christian religion? However, no person noticed this and this "god" did not care and did not see this.
Focusing on the core of Ruth 3:9, she asked him if he would lift (spread) up his skirt or gown over her. Hence, over her or over her head. It appears to me, in basic terms, she was proposing to (asking) Boaz to have sexual intercourse with her. Remember, according to the Bible Old Testament, there was no "marriage ceremony" by some church or government. for them to control the body temple spiritually.
No, when they had sex in a tent and the couple came out, they was married to each other until one of the two have sex with someone else. Another way is for the man or woman to speak that the soul tie is severed and without power. Just to add, she was a handmaid or in definitive form, she attended to something to work. Ironically, in verse 11, Boaz considered her a"virtuous woman". Wait, what the hell? A virtuous woman?
All she did was work, get paid, kept her living, and wanted to suck and fuck Boaz, point blank. Yes, majority of her decision was based on his money but since she wanted kids, she did not wanted her kids to be like her. Seriously, for all women, when you ask someone to have sex with you, you are proposing to that person. That is all. Once again, the church have told another false narrative to you.
There is no law saying you can not go for a man or woman. If you like what you see, that energy to approach will kick in. Most men and women, especially men that get approached by women are not running. So the concept of "man must pursue woman", which was given by church and society is a bullshit lie, because no one is running. Unless your Spirit said "she's trouble; he's trouble", then run. Otherwise, "the who pursue who, who propose to who" game is dead in the water. It is a waste of time. Go for whoever that ignite your Spirit, soul intelligence and sex drive.
I am sharing what I learned, what the Universal Spirit showed me. I desire not change you. That is your decision and willpower to do so. By all, my only interest is for you to think.
Peace and Divine Favor upon you.
