I imagine I should include some form of an introduction, but I'll keep it short. I really love this girl, so much I'm even thinking thoughts of marriage (but that wouldn't come for at least another 3 years at least, 25-ish probably).  I thought to myself, there's no better Christmas gift to give her than a promise ring. As one article on promise rings said, "If you're sure she's the right one for you, but not quite ready for engagement, a pre-engagement, or promise ring expresses commitment to the relationship and a promise for the future together." Some stats before the pics:

10ct. White Gold
2 small diamonds
2 lab-created, heart-cut alexandrites (amazing stone, it changes color in different lighting!)
Got the ring with a 3-year warranty for $194.
Updated: Got it at Rogers and Hollands Jewelers in the US.

I'm so excited, I don't know if I'll be able to hold off from giving it to her until December 12 (when we'll be together before Christmas break). Thing is, we won't be able to spend our Christmas breaks together (she'll be in Michigan working, raising money for the always constant college money demands; I'll be in California visiting grandparents), so I'm thinking I might just give it to her on Thanksgiving so she can show it off to her family when I'm with her, or if need be, get it resized in time so she can wear it while I'm gone to California for those 3 weeks.  For those of you who read all this, what do you think of giving it to her at Thanksgiving instead? Yes, or no?

Nice work, dude. I say give it to her on a special occasion, though. Just take her out to dinner or whatever and give it to her then.

OK, I'll be the first one to say it (unless Seal was trying to say it in his drunkenness).

It is absolutely stupid.

If you want to marry her, then get her an engagement ring, set a date, and move on.  What you are demonstrating in this act is an absolute inability to make a commitment, which basically means that you will not marry her in 3 years because you cannot make a commitment.

If you want to marry her then do it.  If you are not yet sure, then wait.  Otherwise, this looks like nothing more than a cheap ploy for getting sex.




Yes, I deal with this stuff a lot ... I really need to start a "Dear OrangeHound" column.

I concur
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Running the risk of sounding very much like a girl, I think it's sweet.

I'm sure your girlfriend would rather you gave her a promise ring than nothing. Hell, at you guys ages probably she'd rather have a promise ring than an engagement.

But if it's a cheap ploy for getting sex, well, you're gunna get some.

22 is too young to get married so he's waiting another 3 years and in the meantime he's getting her this. What's the problem?

3 more years with her will let him know if she's the one.

Aint stupid is it. Stupid is getting married at 22.

Eh.... I dunno, chances are you two are probably not going to get married. 3 years is a long time, a long time for a relationship to fuck up.
