Why don't I have a ring yet?

okay, well im going to post a convo here.

and this is stupid too. it seems like every single girl has a ring or something from her boyfriend…and I think its totally stupid when they havent been together very long…but I STILL get jealous even though I want one at the RIGHT time…lol..

: he hasnt got you a ring?

nopeee

: what did he get you for yalls one year and stuff

: like nothing we just went out and stuff

im not really a gift kinda person? im not that kinda girl but stilll

he should get you somethin nice tho

like in june he was telling me he wanted to get me one for christmas…or AROUND christmas..and he even asked me my ring size and etc but…he hasnt said anything since…and he went shopping yesterday, didnt text or call and ask me anything when he always does…sooo? im pretty darn sure he FORGOT or just…I don’t know

GIRLS…I know that seems totally stupid of me to be thinking about..but we’ve been together for over TWO YEARS…most girls have promise rings by ATLEAST a year and a half into it. half are engaged!!! what’s wrong with me???

Answer #1

hey, it’s really not a big deal. I mean, I know it seems like it, and I thought so too. As a matter of fact, I still think so. Last spring he mentioned something about getting me a ring, asking me if I would wear a ring if he got it for me… of course I said yes (at the time we had been together over a year and a half)… but nothing ever came of it. we actually talked about it once, cause I got it in my mind that I really wanted a promise ring. he apparently had thought that I didn’t, since I don’t wear rings often at all. So I thought that that conversation would end up in him getting me a ring, only it didn’t. I was kind of upset, but I realized that it wasn’t such a big deal. If he’s not ready to give me a ring, or wants to wait until it’s the right moment, then that’s much better than him giving it to me just because I’ve asked him to.

So my advice is to not bug him about it. Mention it maybe once or twice, so that he knows you’re receptive to the idea, but dont push it. It’ll happen when he wants it to, and it will mean so much more to you, because you’ll know he means it.

Answer #2

yeah you’re all right… its just crazy, not cool, you know? I really wouldn’t even be thinking about it… if it wasnt for other people bragging & freaking out about me not having one & him saying I was going to get one? dorkkk.

lol.

Answer #3

be patient I agree with ganjamasta, my husband did that when we were dating. We had discussed a promise ring and that was the end of it. Then when I thought he forgot or wasnt going to do it, he suprised me with it! You can always drop hints to “remind” him to if its important to you!! Good luck!

Answer #4

just because your materialistic friends have 9 dollar fake diamond rings from their magilla gorilla boyfriends who don’t really care about them, doesn’t mean it’s written in the book of love laws for your boyfriend to get you one. be thankful for what you have and the priceless things he may have already given you- like his love.

maybe he’ll give you one when it’s his time and when he truly wants to from the bottom of his heart, unlike most.

Answer #5

just be patient…I remember when my step mom and dad were living together… and she would magnet pictures of rings to the fridge…send him a pic to his phone of a ring…be a pest…if he loves you he we def get the picture and not get mad …I mean my ring was just a thing gold band and it was way to big so it has tape around it to this day…lol its the thought that counts but when the times right it will happen…

Answer #6

Nothing hes probably going to make seem like he forgot but when christmas gets here he’ll probably surprise you with a ring =)

Answer #7

there is nothing wrong with you.. let him know that you want a ring
