Well it's a great feeling to be engaged but then again it's kind of scary and hard giving up things you love doing and other things in general.

Same difference. It's all "claiming" no matter how they would like to twist it.  . A person could merely have a boyfriend and still claim "engaged" even when they arent even UP to that stage, so NO it's not better as it's the same delusion of grandeur.  How many threads are there on Nairaland with girls yearning "I can't believe he cheated on me or had other girls, when he showed me to his friends and family, we were "engaged", falling for the oldest trick in the book of male lies. Unless there's a mutual act of exclusive-ness, a ring signifying the bond and the family has done extensive research and are all aware of this relationship then there's no fiancee/fiance. Of course I know some who claim such mainly because they don't want to be bothered by the cretins of Nairaland. Understandable.  anyway I see this is actually a 2005 thread, weird Anyway osisi, you craze spoilt, what do you mean by not being in a conventional marriage? |

And you don’t have to have a ring on your finger to prove you are engaged

Hmmm you should like those men who tell their wives I don't need a ring to show I'm married. But we all know they don't wear it so they can do rubbish outside,

Unless they're Jehovah Witnesses I don't see why a ring should be absent. after him poping the question(not those who just mke assumptions because they have seen his mama), that's the second most important thing signifying that bond. |

Well you are kind of right as per the whole engaging thing but about the ring thing not everyone are into jewelries.
And you don’t have to have a ring on your finger to prove you are engaged
i think u're just making excuses for the facts that: 1. you don't have an engagement ring to justify your alleged engagement. 2. Your purported engagement may just be a figment of your own imagination. No woman i know, even those who dislike ear rings, will refuse an engagement ring. You sound so much like this chic in our lab. She's 30, lives in with her boyfriend and is busy talking about savings accounts, getting a bigger house, buying washers and dryers into the home bla bla bla. I mostly stare in amazement . . . is this girl living on planet mars? This guy has NOT even asked you to be his wife, his mom barely knows you and you're busy playing married life! I guess desperation plays out in different ways. |

That is one smart woman!  I wish most would be like her. She is living with him or he is living with her or they are living together, and you think an engagement ring should be the first thing on her mind? They are already in a common law marriage please oooooooooooooooooh! Anything past 6 months of shacking up is called a common law marriage in most states in the US.  If they are not ready to tie the knot-- they should not be livin' together to cut "costs"! That is why people advertize for room mates. Hopefully they don't start "shimmering" those too. Sorry oh, some of us still make plans even when guys are not ready--that is their business. If it does not work out. . . . . .too bad. He will be replaced and my home will be almost prepared for marriage! If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time. It is called making hay while the sun shines. When the lady gets pregnant, I guess he would be forced to move out, throw her out or buy that ring by force, then divorce later. Fine with some of us.  Life goes on no marrrrer how messed up it is. The reason we have baby mamas and baby dadas littered all over the globe! People just set up their lives to be messed up! |

And who said nothing about not having a ring2. Your purported engagement may just be a figment of your own imagination. And what will I gain from that type of imagination oh because you seem to be jumping into conclusion very fastNo woman i know, even those who dislike ear rings, will refuse an engagement ring. And who said anything about refusing an engagement ring, there you go again another assumption from you. Btw, i was responding to D reloaders comments neither was i talking about me, was just replying to her in general.
And why will a girl like me want refuse a ring lol, gosh think
Come to think of it my mom doesn't wear her wedding ring but will denial the fact that she's a married woman
You sound so much like this chic in our lab. She's 30, lives in with her boyfriend and is busy talking about savings accounts, getting a bigger house, buying washers and dryers into the home bla bla bla. I mostly stare in amazement . . . is this girl living on planet mars? Nope i live in the same world like youThis guy has NOT even asked you to be his wife, his mom barely knows you and you're busy playing married life! Well not sure if this question was directed to me or not, but just in case it was hmmmmmmmm and do you know me outside nland, or my personal life to know he didn't ask me to marry, or his family doesn’t no me, or do you think am one of those girls a guy can deceive like that by sweet talking, my parents taught me better than that.
You think you know me or what am capable of, don't let all this nland post of mine decive you, because you know shit about me
As far the mother-in- law just spoke to her an hr ago
I guess desperation plays out in different ways.
And what will i gain from that oh, i ain't desperate because that isn't my style, neither am i begging anyone to marry me, nor do i need a mad to survive in this world
The only desperation i have is making money but in a legal way so my parents can eat the fruit of their labor, and living life to the fullest, and been the best daughter my mom want me to be
