Box Diver Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Title says it all. Is it good/bad form to propose without a ring? Would you rather be proposed to with a ring? Or without one and get to pick it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batya33 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think the man should try to get an idea of what she likes (he can talk to friends or family if he wants it to be a true surprise) and propose with a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnelianButterfly Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I wouldn't want a ring at all, its a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vesper Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 just remember that the girl will wear this ring for the rest of her life. Romantic proposal with a ring that surprisingly fits and is exactly her style only happens in the movies. In real life you go ring shopping together. Sometimes brides change their ring after they get the one from you and buy a different one. Some brides of five or six sets of rings. Its whatever your style is but if you really want to be proper you have to decide what style you and her like and ultimatley yours will match hers so you also have to think about what color metal ring you prefer too.

avman Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Many jewelry stores will let you exchange the ring for the full value for some period of time (30-90 days). That allows you to have a ring to propose with, yet be able to trade it in for something that she will really love. Talk to the jeweler and make sure they have a policy like this. Then I'd say definitely propose with a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally00 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 My boyfriend's asked me plenty of times to marry him... without a ring. I don't need no ring!!!! But then again, I'm the atypical girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissancewoman101 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think proposing with a ring is romantic and nostalgic. The ring doesnt have to be something expensive, but I do think the guy should propose with a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottytoddy05 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Go together, get an idea of the style and size and then you can go and get one. Me and my husband knew we would eventually get married and just happened to look at rings whenever we went on a trip or shopping, so when the time finally came he was ready and I've got the ring I wanted. I have had thousands of compliments on it since I have been wearing it becasue it is not your typical engagement ring. I also am not your typical wife, so it fits perfectly. Don't rush it, wives are VERY proud of their rings!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigredvick Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 gotta go with the way the woman you're with will like. take her to some romantic movies or rent them and see how she reacts to the proposals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newo Ikkin Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I helped choose my ring, but it turns out he would have picked the same one anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDoris Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 ive never been proposed to, but if/when that day happens, it would be so romantic if my partner had chosen the ring. I would love it even more because he had chosen it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
