Is there any instance in Indian Mythology of a woman proposing a man except the case of Yayati-Devyani and Yayati-Sharmishtha?

How did I forget?
Do not know about the story of Ganga King Janhu though.
Did not Rukmini Krishna know/love each other before?
Except Rukmini all were either tribal woman(?) or apsara. Is that why none of them were long term companions?

OMG Ganga actually had some bad luck. But why was she approaching elder men. Was she looking for a sugar daddy
Waise I think that was also true for Rukmavati Pradyumna. Rohini Chandra too seems that

I don't think Shurpnakha was tribal. Her brother ruled a great urban city.
Krishna Rukmini had never met as per Bhagwatam, she simply heard about him and started loving him. If Bhagwatam narrative is true, she was simply a fangirl to Krishna and Krishna realising that she could get her some support when mostly everyone was them
I think when Shradha Manu was where Shradha proposed but she was an Apsara too

What are your views about RigVedic Krishnasur? Do you think he is our Krishna who his opponents tried to insult giving him a false story with defeat or is he some other person/mythical being

Right now Odisha Dance Academy is doing a piece where Yashoda, Radha, Hidimba and Draupadi ask compelling questions to Krishna!
