I say, propose to him, and if he accepts, go looking for rings together.  Many wedding rings have engagement rings that fit or go together.  By shopping together, you'll get his input on what looks nice and what he'd like for you to have.  If you want to buy him a ring as a surprise, go ahead!  Who has to stick to anything traditional?  Whatever you may feel makes you happy- GO FOR IT!!

your ring finger on the left hand. in the olden days rich parents would give their daughters promise rings to symbolize they would save themselves for the man who weds them,.. so when they meet a guy he would remove their ring and replace it with an engagement ring....

A promise ring is a ring given as an outward and physical expression, or symbol, of a promise made between two people. \n\nTraditionally, the promise ring is given for virtually any type of promise made between two people - either romantic or platonic.  A popular reason to give promise rings includes Pre-engagement:  If you're sure she's the right one for you, but not quite ready for engagement, the pre-engagement ring expresses commitment to the relationship and a promise for the future together. \n\nThe most important rule in giving a promise ring is to be up-front about the terms of the promise, especially if the ring contains a diamond.  There is nothing more heartbreaking than a person reading something into a gift of a ring that is more than intended!  A simple note accompanying the ring, to be read prior to opening the gift, can clarify your sentiments.

Ask him how he can give you a ring if he already wearing one?? He broke his promise to his wife...if he did it to his wife, how can you be sure he won't do it to YOU later?

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.

Price doesn't matter.  You can find a beautiful ring for a reasonable price.  Just don't sacrifice quality.  My engagement ring is gorgeous and suits me to a tea, and my fiance only spent $2000 on it.  I know some women who's rings cost more.  I say just pick something out that says "her" all over, and you can't lose.  Or if you're really not sure - buy a single solitaire ring to use for the engagement, then go back with her and the two of you can pick something together.  Engraving?  I think it's nice, but not necessary.

It's not about the ring. Buy a fridge or couch instead. Your man will agree. Then one day when you get a bit of money together, buy a ring.

First of all the price of the jewelry really doesn't matter.  Some guys throw around expensive jewelry just because they can without it really meaning a thing.  Accept what he said for face value.  He likes you and he wanted to show you that by getting you something nice but he isn't ready to take this relationship to the next stage.  A commitment ring is a big step and shouldn't be given or accepted without a great deal of thought and serious consideration to what a commitment is.  Right now he is being honest with you and tell you he isn't ready for that step but that he likes you and that there could be that commitment in the futre.

Everyone has their own preference, it seems. Do you use your hands in your work? Are you an artist? Do you care for small children? Play the piano? These are the kinds of things you can think about when choosing your ring.\n\nI guess I would love a ring that someone selected for me. I was married a long time ago, and his grandmother gave me her ring. And, the other times I've been engaged I've usually helped with the selection process - next time, I want the guy to do all the thinking!\n\nWhat a fun decision you have ahead of you.

Take it to a jewelers store and ask a professional jeweler for his opinion.\n\nI have to tell you, if you doubt that your significant other would give you a 'real' ring, I'd seriously re-think the whole marriage thing.  If you even believe he is deceiving you with the ring, how can you trust him in any other way?\n\nAlso, you might want to think about your values system.  If you truly love each other and the ring is worth $50, who cares?  Do you want a life long partnership with this person, or are you just a greedy materialist who wants an expensive item to show off to people to 'prove' his love for you?

Depends on how long you have been with this person.  But if it has been long enogh that you know you want to take the relationship to the next level, every girl wants to get engaged on Valentine's Day.  If you aren't ready give her a ring and tell her to wear it on the right hand and tell her when both of you are ready you will move it to the left. (I always thought that would be sweet)

The ring is just a symbol for others.....not for the bride and groom. You know that you are married so it is not really important that they match.(At least that is the way I see it). My husband and I don't wear rings at all.We figure it isn't important for others to see that we have decided to spend our lives together as long as we know it in our hearts.......Good luck to you.    =)

Most definitely! An engagement ring is to show that you're engaged to the person that gave it to you. If you split up, you're no longer engaged, so the ring HAS to be returned.

well i think if you end an engagment yes she should give it back because the ring is given as a basically agreement that you will end up getting married. if you end the engagment than you can't get married so that agreement is broken. so yeah you should get it back and if she doesn't you could always sue her if you think it's worth the money.

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.

Well,Well After 8 yrs.Two nights ago my boyfriend came home from work after stoping at a pawn shop.He bought me a 1/4 caret ring from that pawn shop.Its not 3 carets but, in my eyes its beautiful.I never thought I would see a ring.So the tears started rolling.He gave me that ring because he loves me.I wouldn't want a big expensive ring from the mall.My ex husband once bought me a $3,000 dollar ring .It didn't mean as much as this one does now.So if you have a woman who wants you to make payments forever.Shes not thinking with her hart.Or its an awful little hart.

Before proposing u need to realize whether u want really engaged with her or not, if yes then first u let her know abt u if the same thing she feels then u straightly propose her by ur bottom of heart.i think she will agree.All the best.
