Ok, I messed up....

[Jugernot]

I went over to my girlfriend house today to help her with her lawn stuff. Afterwards, I looked down and noticed the ring she had given me at the beginning of our relationship was missing (silver band with my name carved into it with the inside engraved with a special message) I told her right afterwards. She joked around about me taking off for my other girlfriends and told me that she had lost the same type of ring many times before. Well anyway, later tonight I mention that I'm really sorry I couldn't find it. She says "Well I'll give the number of the place I bought it and you can get another." So I say "Ok, but it isn't going to the same." To which I get the response "Yah, well. It'll be a ring you bought and you engraved!" Notice the change in emotion?!?!

So anyway, I'm in deep $hit! Any ideas? I'm thinking of going over tommorow morning real early and start looking in her lawn. At least to show her that I really do care enough to look.

Any ideas on how I can make it up to her?

Take her out to dinner. Don't make a big deal out of it.

[sarcasm]I'm sure she would be thrilled if you groveled like a pitiful child about it.[/sarcasm]

Go over to her house and start looking for it early in the morning WHEN she'll be able to see you...don't tell her you're coming over, just go over and start looking for it, but make sure she sees you.

I'd retrace every footstep, from the time you last remember wearing it, to the time you noticed it missing. Think really hard. If it means getting down on your hands and knees in her yard, so be it.

At least that's the way I feel your GF would appreciate it more.....-kd5-

 

[Nutdotnet]

Dude, tell her to suck your....TOE! C'mon man, if your woman is so concerned about a friggin ring I think she may want to get some counseling. Unless it is a wedding band, it is simply not worth getting another. Stuff happends, people lose things.

 

[Phunktion]

Get a tattoo.. hint hint.. j/k

 

[Generalen]

Go and buy yourself a metal detector and search that lawn

 

[Muadib]

I'm with the general. You can take it back when you are through with it, or keep it as a reminder.

 

[geno]

Reminds me of a movie I just saw....



Good luck with the ring though, if it has sentimental value to you, then I'd say you should look for it

 

[bacillus]

hope you haven't lost it purposefully!
only kidding. hope you find it soon.

 

[Suicidal]

She's gonna dump you.

 

[TripleJ]

I reckon you're just paranoid.

 

[Rainguy]

<< &quot;Yah, well. It'll be a ring you bought and you engraved!&quot; >>



I don't like her attitude. I mean you were helping her with her lawn and you accidently lost a ring. It wasn't like you threw it off a bridge. Maybe you should reevaluate your relationship with her. :Q

<< She's gonna dump you. >>



Nefalicious.

 

[littleprince]

are you sure you guys didnt just take them off so you wouldn't get them dirty in the garden?
and now she noes where it is, and shes just playing with u?

i noe from experience my gf's done that...

hope i'm right.

 

[Azraele]

It's gonna be hard to spot, but look carefully. With any luck, you'll find it.

Send her some flowers and take her to dinner. It was just an accident that you lost it (though I think she's being a little harsh on you), but she's obviously pretty upset about it, so those will help her to feel better.

Perhaps you might even think about getting her a similar ring, to show how a relationship, like a ring, can go round. Now it's her turn to wear the ring, until one comes back to your finger (or perhaps I've read too much Tolkein ).

 

[Jugernot]

heh, unfortunately I didn't make it out this morning.... bummer.. it wasn't light enough when I wanted to go. Plus she has 3 acres, so it's not going to be easy by any means!

 

[Azraele]

Woof...3 acres. That's gonna be rough to say the least.

Good luck to you.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Buy yourself a replacement, if you want to. Don't torture yourself. It was the sentiment of the gift, not the gift itself which was important.

lol 3 acres.


Good luck.

You'll need it.

 

[urameatball]

just get her a ring.
tada, problem solved!

 

[eakers]

dont get angry that shes angry, she is upset cuz it meant alot for her to give it to you and assumed that it meant alot to you, which im sure it does. she loves you, thats why she cares that its lost, she thinks you didnt care enuf for it to take care of it. try to find it, be extra sweet to her (dinner, flowers whatever)and maybe replace it but the replacing it isnt really the issue. im sure she'll get over it.

*kat. <-- sees tha girls pov.
