Hm mm  I've heard of people being proposed to, never heard of someone being proposed.  I propose you go get an education and then someone who cares and loves you might propose to you in real life.

most men would know your tastes by the time they get round to proposing, he would know what stones you like (I do not like diamonds really and my b/f would know not to get a diamond for me) he would know whether you prefer gold, silver, platinum etc and as it is his gift to you, I would think that whatever he got you would like.  I get embarrassed when I hear stories of girls making a fuss that their diamond isn't huge or that there is something not right with the ring, the poor man has done the best he can and spent what he thinks is a reasonable amount on a ring, it is after all, just a ring and not the most important part of the marriage.

She should return the ring. If he refuses to take it, she should sell the ring and give him the money--but tell him first that that's what she's going to do. The ring was a symbol of a promise that has not been fulfilled. Unless he gave it to her as her Christmas or birthday present, it was a promise and not a gift and now MUST be returned.

i would still say yes..i would marry my BF if he proposed with a Gummi Lifesaver as a ring...because I LOVE HIM not what he can give me.

Walmart has some very nice promise rings.  It is really the thought that counts not how much you spend on the ring.  And if it does she's not the right girl.

If the girl is the one who wants to break up, she should return the ring. The ring was given to the girl as a symbol of commitment to a forthcoming marriage. If that marriage is now not going to take place, the ring no longer has any significance. The ring was not given as a 'present' but as a symbol.\n\nHowever, if the man is the one who wants to break up, that's another story.

Be honest witn your boyfriend. It was very sweet of him to get you a promise ring, but accidents to happen. If he loves you, then he may be a little disappointed but it will be ok.\n\nMention to him that you found one just like it online and that you would like to get it. If he offers to get it for you, then let him. You can do something special for him in return. And if he's ok with the idea but doesn't offer to buy it for you, then go ahead and get it. \n\nHopefully it will eventually turn up somewhere. But if you try to secretly replace it and it turns up after that, you would have some explaining to do. - Just tell him what's going on.\n\nDo the two of you live together and use the same car? Could it have gotten lost at his place or in his car where you wouldn't have found it?

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!!

Depends on how long I have been in the relationship. If it is new-anywhere from real new to one year, I would feel more comfortable receiving flowers. After that, probably Jewlery, a necklace or earing. Now if it is true love.....Definitly a ring, say for a left hand :)

The man should propose first under normal circumstancs. It's not nice to "force" the  woman to have to propose because the relationship is dragging on too long.

Go for this relation slowly. The girl is young and she may scare out if she sees you at her doorstep with a ring saying "Will you marry me?". So, easy and nice.

The decision to propose marriage depends on how you both feel.  If she loves you and you love her, if you feel you can live together successfully, and you both interested in living together as husband and wife then ask.  But be prepared for both the yes and no response.

I think the whole tradition of rings should be done away with.  Is it really necessary to spend thousand of dollars on pieces of metal to show your commitment to each other.  Save the money and invest or buy something you actually need.  If you are going to stay with this old ritual I dont see any reason to try and update by sharing the cost so I guess I would say let the man buy both if you insist on tradion.  It is traditional after all.

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.
