sox4lifeinPA Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 ok, I know I'm gonna get ragged and I'm taking your opinions with a handful of salt, but I'm thinking about getting miss sox4life a ring. Here's the situation: I'm going up to PA in January. The trip will fall right on our 6 month anniversary (actually one year, but that's another story) and her birthday.(and obviously right after christmas). So my thoughts are to get her a "nice but not crazy expensive, committing, but not like we're gonna get married" ring thoughts? I know I know, I just kissed her whatever...y'all don't understand.

I've never understood the 'committed but not engaged' ring. To me (and it is just my opinion), that would take away something from an engagement ring, should you ever choose to give her one of those. Why not a nice pendant (maybe engraved or something) on a chain? Brian bought me a clauddah (I never could spell that word) on a silver chain two years ago and I have never taken it off.

I see it as something that we could use as an heir-loom. I'm 90% sure that I'm going to marry this girl. I think something like this would be a sign of our respect for what we have but obviously it's not an engagement ring, which is 2 years off. I don't think it would take away from anything, because she won't wear it after I give her the engagment ring...(which obviously will have a heck of alot more meaning and beauty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think a ring will go over better than a chain do it. Just make sure the two of you are on the same wavelength before you give it to her.

sox4lifeinPA Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 definitely. I already talked to her best friend(one of my close friends and the reason we know each other). She's on a covert mission to find out if it's a good idea and what miss sox4life would like. I'll keep y'all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Skip the ring and go for a different piece of nice jewelry. Perhaps a pearl necklace and matching earings. IMHO if you pull a small box from a jewelry store from your pocket it better have a diamond engagement ring. Although, since you have dated less than 1 year you probably could get away wth it. After a year or so definately never, ever pull a small jewelry box without a serious commitment (engagedtogetmarriedwithadateattached) ring. Man that was some kiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what happens when you wait. I knew she was a keeper before, but I'm sold now. hopefully, I can avoid her finding out what a loser I am.

That is true though - for Valentine's day this year Brian did that and instead of a ring in the little burgundy box, it was a blue topaz necklace (a beautiful one, but not what I was hoping for). It took him a few miniutes to figure out what I looked disappointed. There has been some insinuations of things to come within the next two months. I hope he has finally decided to take care of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochpuppy Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I've got to agree with Fan here sox4life. I've never understood the whole "promise ring" theory. If you're that sure you are going to marry her why not propose now (I did after 4 months and we've been married for almost 9 years). If you are not ready for that, why not get her some diamond earrings, or diamond studded pendant. Not really anything extravagant but something simple yet elegant. Also, go to a reputable dealer for a better quality, cut and clarity of stone. It also maybe something you can put on layaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I bought a girl I dated for 2 years a "promise ring" about 5 months into our relationship. Needless to say, the relationship didnt work out, but she loved it. I think it's a good idea if you're really sure the both of you feel the same way about one another. Perhaps earrings or a bracelet would be alright as well. That's up to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVVY18 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I think you are young enough to get away with it not being an engagement ring. Just make sure it isn't diamond or she may get the idea it is an engagement ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's right on that, I remember her telling me when I was thinking about getting her one that white gold or platinum was a must. Guess all the doable ones share the same sentiments...

But do whatever you feel read through my posts and notice I never said "promise ring"..... I was going for, "you're the most amazing girl I've ever met, happy birthday, happy anniversary (one year), oh by the way, thanks for staying true to me while I'm 1700 miles away" ring. but whatever, I'm the insecure one. those are what I like...of course she'll hate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Those looks pretty engagementy to me. What do I know though. Your sure she likes ya more than just friends right, cause sometimes signals get crossed up. Just making sure. I am sorry to say, but long term relationships are hard and absolutely suck, six months (or a year whatever it is) is not that long. I wish ya nothing but luck.
