Most men hardly even think to look for a ring, and if they do, they know enough to look at the left hand.

Know your single? Oh I think they know, but you could do online date sites or take out a personal ad in your newspaper. Have a party and only invite single people like a mixer. If all else fails take off the wedding ring!

You should drop hints if you don't feel comfortable.  It's June so I'm sure they have diamond ring commercials on tv, and in circulars, and if you go to the mall together you  could "casually" draw his attention to the "shinies" that you most admire.  But it's a diamond and diamond's are a girls best friend so I'm sure you will love that bling as much as you love him!

Congratulations! May you share long years, great joys and small troubles.  It depends on exactly what you want and where you are.. if you want simple, traditional bands then any jeweler will have a good selection. If you want something that reflects your orientation,if you're in or near a major city, no problem, you know (or should know) which businesses are GLBT friendly, ask around for a jeweler. If you're in a less than "cosmopolitan" area, check out the ads in the back of The Advocate or Out, many gay-friendly jewelers offer beautiful committment bands at civilized prices.\nI googled "Committment Bands" and one of the results was this site..http://gaymart.com/shoptfj/1catgory/c0580605.html which has some seriously georgeous options.

Nope, not without a ring on your finger. Get some sort of commitment first so that you aren't making a huge mistake. Boys can come and go but you don't want to jeopardize your job for someone who hasn't committed to you first. :)

3rd finger left hand. it doesn't have to be a diamond. It could be a beer can ring pull (if you wanna be romantic about it) so long as your in love who the hell cares.

As he is your friend that you say that you are so close to, i do not think that anyone else will be able to tell you what you should give.  The only advice i can give is that, anyone can buy jewelry, etc but it is the silly things that count and would mean more.  You know this man, it would have to be some thing personal that you shard together.  Also you say your getting married, I hope you are not saying goodbye to your Friend? mar rage does not mean you have to get rid of your Friends male or female.

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.

Not wearing a ring does not mean not married.  My brother doesn't wear his wedding ring!  When I get a job in a lab, I won't be wearing my wedding ring, either!  That won't mean that I'm not married.  Quite the contrary!  I am married!

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!

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.

So, you're questions a couple of weeks ago said you didn't know who to choose, a girl who was messing you around, or a boy who you used to be friends with. Now you are talking about marraige? Are you sure? Hoping it's just a bracelet as a present, and you'll think a lot more before making any decisions that affect your future :)

Your jealous, fess up! You know that's what it is about. My mother has all of her jewelry (quite a substantial amount) going to my daughter, my daughter will receive them after she turns 18 or my mother passes which ever occurs last. My daughter then has the option to give family members pieces of that or not to. She put this in her will simply so that stupid argument's don't occur like the one your about to have. The ring is gone to someone else, get over it. Ask you mother to will a special piece to you or your daughter.

Who knows?  Maybe you guys really aren't ready to get engaged.  There's alot of pressure on couples when they get engaged.  People EXPECT that you're getting married pretty soon and they want to know a date and they want to know what you're planning for the wedding.  It sounds like your man shouldn't have promised something that he wasn't sure about.  It's unfair to say that "by this date we will get engaged" because things happen.  It doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't want to get engaged, it just means what he said, you guys aren't ready.  Maybe there's financial reasons behind that.  But a really good solution to this problem (because I know you are disappointed) is if your boyfriend still wants to get engaged and married in the future....he should buy you a promise ring.  My boyfriend and I have been together for four years and we're not ready to get engaged or married yet either.  But a promise ring lets you and your friends and family know that you guys are planning to get married one day, just not right now.  I wear my promise ring on my left ring finger like an engagement ring and I'm very happy with it.  I think you would be too.  Sit tight dear, you'll get married one day.
