For Alyssa...

Still don't why you just don't get engaged. Why promise something if you don't think you can keep it. Cause here I see it....
Boy:Will you wear this promise ring as a sign that we promise to be together for ever?
Girl:Of course I will. I love you! I promise to love you forever!
Boy:Yey! I promise to love you forever too!
Now we are at a fork in ( Read more... )

I think promise rings are totally rediculous too. Either you're ready to be engaged or you're not. It's like a pre-engagement ring, or a "hold my spot before someone else gets her" ring. My cousin was wearing a promise ring at 16 and I grilled her asking her if she really understood what wearing that ring means. I say, DOWN WITH PROMISE RINGS, they are immature and lame.

Yes! DOWN WITH PROMISE RINGS! I agree. We should start a club that becomes some national craze and we can make t-shirts!

I'm still sad that her and my "make-out session" never came to pass. :(

It can still come to pass. Who knows what will happen in the future.

heres the deal ben, im very happy he got me the promise ring. the way i look at it its a pretty mature step, not jsut rushing into a marriage, but its a way for both of you to know exactly where you both are at. that can also be argued as why do you need a ring to know that, but whatever. its not like i have to have this ring to know that he is promising me that we will get married, its not about that, its for us to know that we are both in the same place in our relationship and we want to grow in the relationship before getting married. for bruce and i its an extremely important step in our relationship, the way were both raised its a huge deal to give someone a promise ring, and its basically the pre-engagement step. i mean its not like im going to throw the ring away after we are married or somehting, its still going to be something extremely significant to me. basically we both know that we would like to marry each other in the future, but at this point it would not be smart just to get engaged. i guess its just different ( ... )

All valid points points. What I still want to know is why doesn't he just get the really expensive engament ring now, instead of puttin it off until later. You've just said that you both want to marry each other further down the road. That is great and I'm happy for you. So if you know you two are going to get married why not just get the ring now and put the money of the "promise ring" towards that. The great thing is that you can say we'll set a date in two years when we have money and time, and you have a much nicer ring (not meaning that the fancier the ring the more he loves...I'm sure it could be a Spider-Man decoder ring and you'd be happy).
