He wants to make sure that everyone knows that you are WAY off the market.  He has made a very small commitment, but if your not planning on marrying him I would cut and run.  He sounds somewhat controlling, but it could just be that ya'll are young and tenatious.

If he hasn't asked, chances are he's not interested in marrying you. You don't have to "propose", you know - just ask him straight on whether or not marriage is in his immediate plans. If he says no, you have your answer; if he says yes, set a date and start planning.

it might mean something, but might be just a date... be happy as it means he is not ashamed of you and takes you with him... he wants you get involved into hes lives so he would expect be involved to yours too... but it doesn't mean that he is going get you a proposal the next day... just relax and enjoy your time...

Talk to him about it. Say something like you know I want to marry you but I'm getting worried that it may never happen because...\nHe may not even realize that it's that important to you and that's way he's putting it off. Or he may be doing it on purpose. But if he cares about you and wants to be with you i bet after he knows how important it is to you he will get on the ball. Either way talking about is the only way you will know for sure.

A promise ring became a symbol like a "pre-engagement ring" in the 80's.  It's similar to a guy giving you his highschool ring or his letterman's jacket. t's more serious than just casual dating, but not serious enough to become engaged, just yet. It is just another way to lable relationships and the diamond stores make a fortune.

Id really wanna know what his intentions are...  Its definitely not done out of love, so, Id watch out if I were her!  I wouldnt keep the ring either!

maybe he had a change of heart? or he is seriously wondering if your the right one for him. don't contact him. he has your number if he never calls again then your better off. do you want someone to be with you if they don't want to? if, he calls then continue your relationship. in the meantime don't sit around waiting on this man. get out and mingle with friends who knows maybe he is not the one. sorry but i don't want to lie and make you think he will call.

He has been with you for two years, so this must mean something. He says he loves you and I am sure he does. Is he a generous and  thoughtful guy as this is an indication why he gives money to that girl. She is probably in a difficult situation and has no one else to turn to. Is he replying to a text rather than sending them which is a bit different. Give him a chance. Dont throw away the time you have been together. Play it by ear for now.

hi ,yes its fine to ask a guy to marry you ,but its not very nice what he said to you ,its not his turn ?? how many times does he want to get engaged ?? this could all to do with the MALE EGO thing !! he asked someone and probably got hurt ,and doesnt want to get hurt again ,marriage when it comes down to it is a bit of paper and a ring ,what you have this now is him and you and a future together,enjoy that and things will work out and anyway you never know he could be the one to ask you  good luck have a greeat life together XX

The obivous answer is the one you are refusing to do.."Ignore the Calls!"  I am not sure why you guys can't be together..(You were very careful to omit this from your little story)  You say he is not married..Then I am guessing he is with someone else..Tell him to give you a call when they are through out of respect for his current relationship.  You would want someone to do the same for you if you were with him..Wouldn't you?

If he wants to talk to you he will call. If he wants to see you again he will ask you out.\n\nDon't call him. Would you like to hear this line from him when you give him a ring? : "Oh hello there, sorry I haven't called, I've been busy" Pathetic.\n\nMy present boyfriend called me everyday and it was nice to finally find a guy who didn't play these "mind/dating" games.

He must want it to work as badly as you want it to work.  He can start by communicating to you that he is interested in dating you exclusively or in a marriage proposal.  Otherwise, until he says one of these things, no outside suggestion is going to change anything.  If you are relating positively to each other right now, this is all you can hope for until he decides what he wants to do.  It is not your call.  Just enjoy what you have for now and do not make more of it than what it is: a friendship.

im 15 and my bf is 18, we've known eachother for 3 years, and have been best friends all the way through.  recently he gave me a promise ring, not engagement, but just to show that what we have is real, and we think we are to young, but when the time comes (if it does) then when im out of highschool, and we are both ready we'll move on to the bigger and better *engagement*.  wait, and think seriously how much you love him, we are teenagers, we dont know what we want, and we havent faced the real world as adults yet.

I hate to say this but be very careful he isn't cheating on you. It seems strange that he would just stop. Maybe he just needs some spicing things up, but DON'T tie the knot until you get him to talk about things. Communication is so key in successful relationships. If he won't talk to you, you may have to move on. I feel your pain girl, I've been there.

it's not even important to receive a ring at all it doesn't make a person love another any more. I have been married for 25 years, never had an engagement ring don.t even wear a wedding ring now, but still love him.

i believe that you can do anything. it might be a Little awkward to see you on bended knee, but everyone does there own thing right. are you saying this because you want your man to propose to you? if this is the case and he hasn't done it yet Probably means he isn't ready or he thinks your not ready yet, or something else is going on. also depends on how long you have been together. i know its a custom in my family to live with your significant other for 4 full seasons at least before you propose to him/her. this might be the same for him as well. all you can really do is lightly bring up the subject to him and see where it goes.
