Hi, i'm a new member and i found this site by searching on how exactly to give a promise ring. You see i find it pointless for older couples to give promise rings because it seems like a way out of marriage to me. But i am 18 and in college. I have been with my girlfriend all through high school and want to tell her i want to marry her someday but can't do that while in college for many reason. First of all i dont have a house, job, or anything to offer but my love. I wanna be able to support my wife when i marry her and those things i just cant provide while in college. So in the mean time i want to give her a promise ring to tell her that when i am able to provide that to her... i will marry her. So what im getting at is.... from a woman's point of view or from expierience.... how is a promise ring given exactly? Thanks... hopefully i ll get some feedback

Just give it to her with a card for christmas or her birthday. It is the easiest way for you according to me. It will be 2 in 1.

my parents are married, happily so, and my father gave my mother a promise ring a few years back. so even if you're married you can give your spouse a promise ring.
but it is possible that marriage is not made for everyone and not everyone wants to get married no matter their age? but they might be sincere and a promise ring is a way of showing this sincerity? and anyway, a promise ring is not meant for only people who are in love.

it has to come from the heart, you can try to be original and creative or use a classic manner.
have you thought of any way that you could give her the ring?
you could just invite her out on a really romantic date, take her hand in yours and make her the promise you want to make her and then present her the ring. then ask her if she is willing to accept your promise or something like that, then when she says "yes", then you slip the ring onto her finger!!!!

i don't think i can be clearer than that lol

hello runion1324.
i agree with Lucy when says that it has to come from the heart. it seems that you love your girlfriend a lot, so you must surely have thought about something, the way you give her this ring has to be special.

a ring offered with a card? when's her birthday runion? there are quite a few days until Christmas. when do you intend to give her the ring? soon, or you want to wait some more? a two in one for a special occasion such as offering a promise ring, i don't think it's such a good idea. it's about finding a special way of offering this ring, not the easiest one. anyone could do that.
you want to make this a day she remembers her entire life or just some other gift that she got?

I see your point about the older couple point...Lucy... you also make some other good points.... You see that was exactly the way was going to give it to her... on a romantic date... do the whole hands thing... it would be nice... i was just seeing if maybe anyone else had any ideas...


Yes i do love her alot.... we ve been through a lot together... thick and thin... she loves me back too... i want to give it to her now... and i was thinking about sweetest day... but i have the ring picked out... just not paid for and wasnt sure if i'd have the money for it quite yet... we ll see this weekend i suppose... if i have it... it will be this weekend... im really excited to give it to her... this has to be a great day when i give it to her...

I want to say thank you to all of you for your replies... feel free to keep them coming...

I just realised that either i am not very romantic or all girls are attracted to materialistic stuffs. A card would have been enough for me. That is not my fault if i'm different from the others. What about sending it to her with some flowers? I'm sure you won't appreciate the idea again

giving the ring like a proposal is a very nice idea. but might be a bit too serious and classic style. why don't you take her out and do something that SHE really wants to do? something that she has wanted to do for a very long time or... see what i mean? something that is very special to HER.

hi Cassandra, your idea is nice as well as those suggested by Lucy and Rose Petals, neither are materialistic ideas, so i don't really see what you mean by girls are attracted by materialistic stuff... are they? if yes, then i am in for some trouble.

lol don't worry Rexxazor, not all girls are attracted to the materialistic side of things. just as not all guys are attracted to ordinary girls? lol



i agree when you say that it should be something SPECIAL for her, but it should be special for runion too right? because it's a moment that they'll be sharing together and they both want to make it memorable. but then, she's the one who's going to be in for the surprise so
