Relationship ring question

[Circlenaut]

So my girlfriend and I agreed that we wanted to get a ring to symbolize our commitment to each other. We're not getting married or engaged, we just want a ring we can both wear. We agreed on something simple, like a band. I found some good low priced ones here. The thing is those are wedding bands, but they're exactly what we want. The reason we're getting them is to let people know we're serious. Though I don't want people to think we're married. Maybe it's just a matter of wearing it on a different finger? I was thinking of getting a simple 3mm one. Not the diamond ones, the bands. Help?

Meh, if it's what they both want, go for it.

Oh man, I see you're going to be under the DeBeers influence with this girl....

Isn't that the whole point of an engagement ring? Sounds like an excuse for more jewelery... =p

Its called a promise ring and you can wear it on any finger. The right ring finger is favored to avoid wedding ring confusion.

I need to know, how old are you

EDIT: Looks like you just graduated HS(2006)....sad. Lemme guess, your going to different colleges and you want to promise to stay together? Good luck with that.

Note: He says they are not getting engaged.
Note 2: The engagement ring is normally only worn by the female.

Just get a tatoo instead.

 

[cjgallen]

That's incredibly lame.

But random chicks will think you're married, and therefore, be more attracted to you.

. . .

GO FOR IT

Yes we are going to different college, though they're only a city apart. The point of the ring is not to "promise" each other in anyway, getting a ring to do that is lame, our love is enough. It's just to let people know that we're not interested in any one else. I can easily afford it so it's not like "it's a waste of money". We really like each other and I could see myself marrying her down the line. So screw you pessemistic nay sayers. I tend to see the good and best in things, so I have hope. I have a "gut feeling" and I'm just going to ride it.

Thats what GF's are for aren't they 🙂

If your love is enough, why do other people matter? Afraid that other people will temp each other while you are apart?

 

[Circlenaut]

I was thinking of getting this for myself and this for her and wear it on our right ring fingers. This is what we want and they're not that expensive. I'm just asking ATOT's input on how NOT to confusing it with a wedding ring.

Serious about what, being stupid?

You aren't committed, because that's what marriage is. Getting engaged means you are committed to getting married.

Looks like you are committed to stupidity and wasting money.

Freaken A, this is not that complex. Yes, love is enough BUT it will get annoying when girls try to hit on me times after times. We aggreed on this. I'm honestly not intersting in anyone and am ok spending over $300 to get that message across.

LMAO

This thread is awesome!

neat! I see those are small diamonds so you're showing your love with rocks mined by children in Russia! I normally just kick homeless people to show my wife how much I love her, but your way is pretty much the same 🙂

edit: well you aren't getting the diamond ones? you monster

Sure buddy. I'm getting this ring to show we're committed to eventually being engaged and tell other people to buzz off, because I don't know, we feel like it? We already talked to our parents about going down to Brazil next Christmas break to throw an engagement party (cheaper, better, and my family's closer (huge family) and her family could fly down cheaper then my family flying to vietnam).

Anyways, can someone PLEASE help me with how not to confuse it with a wedding ring. Just wear it on your right ring fingers? Looking online, it can go either waying depending on the country, I'm just wonder what's the american way.

You could save the money and buy a $10 Dungeons and Dragons T-Shirt and not have to worry about girls hitting on you.

Honestly... I don't mean to be a jerk... but if you are worried about girls hitting on you constantly, then you're fast going to realize that lots of girls don't give a damn about the ring on your finger.

They don't have diamonds on them... Look at my link down more in the thread for the specific band that I want.

Anyways, can someone PLEASE help me with how not to confuse it with a wedding ring. Just wear it on your right ring fingers? Looking alone, it can go either waying depending on the country, I'm just wonder what's the american way.

The american way is to not act like a sissy man and tell this girl "its been real" and go find some other poontang.

Well, I like rings and that doesn't solve guys hitting on her (though I am kinda worried they won't even know what it means... It's fashionable enough though)

Rings are not gonna stop anyone from hitting on you or your girlfriend. Why are you so concerned about how to wear the ring and not look married. Isn't the point you are trying to get across that you are not available?
