I never got the impression that Lucas was trying to emulate NH in proposing to Peyton. I also think it was really inconsistent to have Peyton want to marry Jake and then freak out when Lucas asked. Furthermore, if Lucas couldn't handle her saying they should wait, he definitely wasn't ready to get married.
