I actually love mine, and now my wedding band too. I was just curious if there were any girls who didn't like theirs or were dissapointed with the one their man picked. My girlfriend just got engaged and doesn't really like her ring, but she still loves her man and is thrilled to be with him.

I'm with you, I love both mine, but my daughter didn't like the one her fiance surprised her with, so she waited awhile and mentioned it and they went together and got a new one and it is fantastic.  Women should pick their engagement rings.

Not all women like jewelry...just like not all men love to work on cars. Personally, I enjoy wearing rings and necklaces. I used to be big on earrings, but not much anymore. Also, some women like dimonds, or a specific stone. I happen to like Emeralds. Some women like gold, while others like silver. \n\nIf you're trying to determine a gift, take a look and see if she normally wears jewelry and if so, what kind. That should give you a starting point.\n\ngood luck!

No, I don't think it is archaic.  It is still a demonstration of the man's love for the woman.  Men are about actions, so this is a good way for men to show they really mean it.  Words don't mean as much to men.\n\nAs a subset of my theory, men either don't tell the women they love that they love them, or some men go the other route, and say they love women when they don't mean it.  In either case, it stems from the fact that men are about action, and discount the value of words.  \n\nWomen, on the other hand, are all about words, and communicating with each other.  This is why there is often a disconnect between men and women.\n\nAn engagement ring is a socially agreed upon action that men can take, and women automatically understand, so it is still a good way for them to connect.

Well I had the same thing happen to me, When I got my promise ring it was big and I caught everything on it, I had to turn the ring around to put on gloves or even get stuff out of my pockets. So I told him that I was frustrated with this problem and asked that when he pick out a ring for me.(not pushing) that I would really like one that was smaller and not as big. And when I got my ring it was bigger then I wanted but he did listen to what I wanted and he pick out one that was low and fit more into the band so I don't catch everything on it. \n\nI guess in his mind you show everyone your ring, So the more it is worth the more he loves you.(his ego) \n\nSo I would talk to him about a few thing that you would like to see, but don't take away his change to pick out the perfect ring he has imagined buying for you. There is the excitement about the ring for both you and him, you getting the ring and him being the one that picked out the ring you love so much.

Ok i'm not a guy so I can't give you a guy's point of view but, from my point of view, I think that's really sweet what you are trying to do. And she must be an amazing woman because it sounds like you really love her and don't want to lose her. Please don't take what I'm fixing to write to offense, but I think if yall are in college I wouldn't give her the promise ring. Reason being, yall aren't 15-16 years old anymore. Yall are in college, old enough to do what yall want live together old enough to get married. A promise ring to me is for teenagers. If yall already talked about what you want when you get of college and including getting married, go with the engagement ring. Trust me, well I'm not your girlfriend, but I'm sure she will feel and understand what I'm telling you. Now because I said don't get the promise ring for her get the engagement ring doesn't mean you have to do that. This yall's life you make the desicion I'm giving you my and many other womens point of view. I hope I was able to help.

My boyfriend is a body piercer. He has done it for almost 10 years now. He has his nipples pierced and I love them. I have watched him pierce nipples on men and women. Everyone is different when it comes to pain. I have seen some people who take it with no problems and some people wimp around after it is done. It's all based on you. I think it is a neat piercing. I don't have mine done yet. I have 9 piercing now and I'm movin' on up. Piercing "your lady"? Well, I will never do it and my boyfriend won't pierce that area. He says that it is hard for some people to get that area healed b/c it is easy to get infected. It is a warm, wet area. AND.... no sex for a long while after it is done. If you can keep it clean and think it is something u want.... GO FOR IT.....

Nope.  I think your rings should be something you and your husband like.  After all, if you don't like it, you won't want to wear it.  The same goes for him.  You should be proud to show off your beautiful wedding bands, and believe me, people will ask to see them!!  \nThe important part is the symbolization that the rings hold.  They are a reminder of the commitment you and your new husband will have.  They should be a reminder that doesn't bring ANY bad thoughts to his mind or your mind!  \nRemember, even though you and your husband will be married, you're still individuals with different tastes in some things.  I feel like non-matching wedding rings remind you of your unity as a couple and your own personal uniqueness at the same time.

It is perfectly fine to buy a new ring. It isn't who bought the ring or how much it costs (though it's turning your finger green, it might not last very long), it's the meaning behind it. My boyfriend split our Engagement ring 50/50 because we were both in college as well. You might first want to talk to your fiance. Tell him how the metal is irritating your finger (which it will, if it hasn't yet) and ask him to go with you. Let him know how much you love the ring and you love him, but, how the ring just needs alittle touching up. Good luck and Congrats!

OK, I love this question!! My answer is NO NO NO! You absolutely do NOT have to have an engagment ring. I too am in my early 20s and my fiance (already call my husband) and I have been living together for the past two years and he just proposed about 7 months ago but he did not have a ring and it was the most amazing moment of my life. I completely understood his financial situation so it was never an issue, I knew a ring would come later so I never worried about it. I'm a big fan of ebay and I would just browse at second hand rings until I found the perfect one for $200 but I had it appraised at $1400. My fiance bought it for me one month ago and I can't stop looking at my finger. Is it an ice skating rink? Of course not but it's the ring MY fiance put on MY finger and that's good enough for me. It sounds like you and your fiance are just as ginuine so I'm sure you really don't care what he puts on your finger as long as it's from the heart. Just keep in mind that all this crap you see on television and magazines...that's not real! Every engagement is not going to be on top of the Eiffel Tower and your wedding may not be in the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria but it's your wedding and that is what makes it PERFECT! FYI: My fiance has an engagement ring too and both of our rings cost less than $300 combined (from eBay) and everyone "thinks" we bought our rings new! So now people know, you and my mom (and all of Yahoo Answers) Congratulations sweetie to you and your fiance!!

that was a great story clear up until the wedding ring part....i could literally hear the record needle scratching your awesome halloween party music to a silent and deadly halt.....If you're married then stop this thing before it starts. If you just said "missus" cause you were making a euphamism for your girlfriend, then explore whether you might need a change and be looking for someone new. But really. If you're married, you made a promise to her and even when a fine piece of miniskirt comes along, you got nothing if you don't have the promises you made to yourself and her. Best of luck to you!

I enjoy a pierced nose- they look nice to me, especially if they're rings versus studs (sorry).  I couldn't wear one, I don't think, but I like the look.\n\nI'm absolutely enamored, though, with lip rings on the bottom lip, at the corner.  Yum!  They're just so dang hot.\n\nBut never a tongue ring.  Yick.  Just a personal preference.\n\nEnjoy your fetish!

How do you feel about him? How old are you? Are you ready for a big commitment? Whatever you decide, don't think that by taking the ring you give yourself to him. You can always give it back if you're uncomfortable becoming more serious with him.

Oh gosh, I know this may seem awful (and believe me...I was going to kill him at the time). It was 2 years ago and my boy friend and I were exchanging gifts on our 2 year anniversary. I got him a nice watch and he handed me a box and some jewelry cleaner. Of course I got all excited and giddy because I knew there was an engagement ring in the box. I opened it and guess what...a 25 cent ring from a gumball machine was in there. I was sooooooo pissed! I said that's it? And he said "YEP!" Then I said, "this is not an engagement ring?" and he said "I'm not ready to get married yet!" I was so mad I was about to cry. He let me think like this for about 2 hours and then he saw me cry. He said "I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE!!! KELLY OPEN UP THE JEWELRY CLEANER!!" I did and there was the real ring. He then got down on one knee and said "I was trying to be romantic but I screwed things up, I love you and I am sorry, will you marry me?" I wanted to kill him then but now I laugh at it. We are getting married in May! :)

You can wear any rings on any finger you want. Some girls like it, some girls don't. They are just rings! Experiment, see which ones look best where and with what. I don't think the others have special meanings, but just like women guys can wear rings as much, and how often as they like. People say you shouldn't stuff them, it's your life! x

i would suggest something with a nice princess cut diamond in the middle with baguettes somehow incorporated into the ring, then the band just depends on what she likes whether she like yellow gold, white gold, platnium, etc. it would be nice to take her out to a nice dinner or something and make it happen very spontaneously, when she's least expecting it. as far as what to say, you shouldn't need help. if you really love her with all your heart what will say what you feel and it will come out naturally and it will be beautiful. good luck and congratulations!!

I think its perfectly fine for a girl to ask a guy to marry her. In fact its exactly what I did and its good to know other ladies are considering it. \n\nI have been going out with my boyfriend for a long time and on our 5 year anniversary I asked him to marry me. It was probably the most nerve racked time of my life. I bought him a nice manly ring and set out our living room in candles and poured some wine. He was quite surprised and actually said he was supposed to do it. But he said yes - and like you I was so worried he wouldn't.\n\nThe biggest thing is to recall conversations you have had about marriage in the past and see if he had a positive outlook. What I found is they just need a little prodding and thats the best way. Now we have ordered my ring and he wants to have his chance to ask me too - even though we are technically already engaged. But I definitely don't mind a little extra romance in my life.\n\nI say take the chance I found it well worth the effort.
