Can a Promise Ring be offered as symbol of a Promise that is not supposed to be represented by a Ring in normal circumstances?

Can I Offer a Promise Ring to a Person, for example, Promising to Stay Away from that Person?

Or... to be Symbolic of a Love of which I will never be able to Live?

that's kind of sad, do you wish to offer a ring symbolising that type of promise? you know finally, i think we are the ones who decide what we want the promise to be.

ok... so... this is new to me. i've never come across a person thinking of offering a promise ring in this kind of situation.

but hey, a promise is a promise right?

but it might be tough at the receiving end of such a ring, specially if the person knows how you're feeling?

i wouldn't give a ring to a person if it were to promise that. doesn't really make sense to me. the ring would no more be symbol of a promise, but more symbolic of pain.

Yes. This is the reason why I'm asking.

If only that applied for more than just the promises.

I have thought about that. It is one of the reasons why I'm hesitating.

But some promises are symbolic of love, some of friendship. Why should there not be promises symbolic of pain? Or sacrifice?

what are the other reasons for which you are hesitating, if you don't mind my asking?

there is always something symbolic of pain or sacrifice. so you're saying that the ring you'd be offering to the person in question would be as a symbol of the sacrifice that you'll be making? or the pain that you'll be feeling due to this impossible promise that you'll be making?
what about the person, does the person want that kind of promise from you? usually it's a feeling reciprocated. what about in your case?

you just got me completely lost

B.U.R.N, i wouldn't give a person a ring symbolizing something like that. it would be too painful for myself and for the person too. and how have you thought of offering this ring? i mean, normally a promise ring is offered with flowers or after a romantic dinner or something, but what have you thought of?

what is normal for the rest does not necessarily have to be normal for you and what is normal for you, may not be normal for the rest.

would it please you if i say yes? so that you can go ahead and offer the promise ring to the person without feeling awkward about it? or would you rather i say no? so that you don't have to go through this ordeal?

you can live this love. sharing it is something else.

there are always promises symbolic of pain and sacrifice. it's just a question of choice. it's knowing whether you want to make a promise holding this symbolism. some have already shown that they aren't ready or willing to do this kind of promise.

That's weird. Now what? What's the use of giving a ring if you want he or her to stay away from you? Just ask him/her to stay away Oops excuse me, but I'm really confused there.
