I don't know what your implying when you say "Stingray is 28..."

stingray states he married at 22

mek replies that was back then and his mother married at 21, impying its what the old folk do

i added he's only 28 and not a old codger as mek prob thinks he is.

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).

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.}

Werd, only I would have put more of a "your in your early twenties, odds are this girl will be gone before your 3 year wait to be married is over."

Saw a buddy do this, we made fun of him for spending so much. They broke up a few months later.

I approve.

Oh, but I can't seem to find the diamonds?

The Alexandrites look nice though. Was there a reason why you chose them? Birthstone(s)?

Good luck with the girl Christian!

I assumed that these were your circumstances ... but my point remains.   Three years in the dating life of a 22-year old is an eternity.  With your time-line, the chances that you will be with this girl long enough to marry her is about 1 in 50.  I don't base this on the romantic feelings you may be having at the moment, but rather on experience and real life. 

And, I might add, if this girl would want to marry you, then she shouldn't care about what you would pay for an engagement ring.  Get her a CZ for $200 ... replace it with a real diamond later when you are making money in a real job.

Again, I'm just saying the whole concept of a "promise ring" is stupid.  But, you've already purchased it, and are going to give it to her at Thanksgiving ... best of luck to you, and I hope you are the 1 in 50.

I see where you are coming from.  I firmly believe though that I am a different man, I am not the typical, average guy; as you said it, I believe I am the 1 in 50.

Yeah, the diamonds really are pitiful. I only mentioned them because the minute pieces do exist, but barely.  Your assumption would be correct: she was born in June, and wasn't big on pearls (neither am I), so I got her ring with the other accepted birthstone of June (alexandrite), but also because they're a bit harder to come by, thus making them a little more special in that elusive/rare way.

Keep the receipt.

Good Luck though, best of wishes

Thanks, and I will be keeping the receipt, but not for the reason you might think. Since she has a nickel allergy, I have the jewelry store finding out how long it would take (and how much) to make the exact same ring with 14ct. white gold instead of 10ct. white gold, which I'm most likely going to go for. However, in the meantime until that ring is made and I receive it, I'll be keeping this one for now, and when I go to trade it back in for its 14ct. equivalent I'm pretty sure I'll be needing the receipt for that

Why does anyone buy girls real diamonds?
- If she trusts you she'll never know its not real
- If she gets it checked then she's just a gold digger - no loss.
- If she finds out - just tell her you banked what it would have cost and didn't you do well earning so much interest?*

*I'd like someone else to try this and let me know how it turns out.

Are you nuts?. Almost 200$ is way too much to pay for messing up the sheets with the woman.
