mrbob Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I will have been going out with my girlfriend 6 months on Friday. She is organising some kind of special night for us (she is keeping it a surprise), and I want to get a really nice gift for her. I was looking around several jewellery shops today and saw a really nice white gold ring which I think she would really like. It has two little diamonds in it, and looks absolutely beautiful. I've seen a few other necklaces which are nice, but they don't compare to this ring - it is perfect! However, searching around the net just now almost all pages about rings involve engagement or marriage. This got me thinking... does buying a ring have to mean you are getting engaged? Will she think I am going to 'pop the question' if I present her with a ring on Friday? I love her very much, but marriage is a long, long way off as far as I am concerned, and I don't want her to get the wrong end of the stick, which could possibly damage our relationship. So I guess what I am asking is, does buying a ring have to mean engagement, or is it fine as just a simple gift to your loved one? Your thoughts would be appreciated... -Bob.

Stone Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Oh, Your so Sweet!! I don't think it means engagement tell her you saw this ring and it reminded you of her or It's a symbol of your love or something of that line. When I was in School my boy friend gave me a promise ring and said he promised he would always love me. Link to post Share on other sites
turtle Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 No! Of course it doesn't mean engagment! It's just a nice gift. (It doesn't look like an engagment ring, does it?) Anyhow, I am sure she will love it:) Link to post Share on other sites
