Almost-engaged Girls: Would You Accept A Proposal That Didn’t Come With A Ring? by MiKenny(f): 4:59pm On Nov 11, 2010
If your guy dropped down on one knee tonight and pledged his undying devotion to you, but there was no ring and no promise of a ring—heck, no mention of a ring—would you say yes? Or do you really, really think that every proposal should come with a ring? Be honest!

Personally, I like that a ring implies some level of commitment. Your guy’s not just proposing on a whim or because he’s had one too many glasses of wine. He’s thought about your future and made some sort of investment in it—even if it’s only $50.

Professing undying devotion is a bold step . . if he cant afford d ring right now, dosnt mean u wont get d ring later if he decides to marry u . . .d ring isnt a guarantee dat he'l marry u . .iv seen enuff cases to know.

Honestly, i wouldnt take him seriously if i didnt get some sort of ring, I wouldnt start any plans toward a wedding without one. And it doesnt have to be expensive. Im perfectly happy with whatever you pick out especially if it comes from the heart and you put a lot of thought into it,

U can always start wedding plans without a ring and get the ring later . . .  as long as d ring arrives before the wedding itself . .its all good. Dont let it delay ur plans if both of u have sought the consent of ur parents.

When you are blindly in love with your man, you wouldn't care or notice!

This doesn't go down well with the desperate girls anyway!
Re: Almost-engaged Girls: Would You Accept A Proposal That Didn’t Come With A Ring? by MiKenny(f): 5:40pm On Nov 11, 2010

The ring to me is just an outer expression of commitment I think the inner mind commitment and honesty is far more better, a man can give a lady a ring but that might be a short time security for the relationship.

Forgive my ignorance,i thought the proposal with ring thing only happen in the movies?
Re: Almost-engaged Girls: Would You Accept A Proposal That Didn’t Come With A Ring? by hbabe(f): 8:55pm On Nov 11, 2010
These days guys propose first before getting the ring. So I will accept a proposal without an engagement ring

Yes. A ring is always nice to have for many. But to this woman, it's not a requirement. You feel me? As long as I know he meant it from his heart and backed it up on how he treats me. I'm good. I'm not into jewelry like that anyway's. I like earrings more than I do rings. All I want is his heart, because then I know I have him. wink You can have a man propose with the biggest rock ever and then she still don't have his heart. Bottom line, he confessed that he is in love with me and want to spend the rest of his life with me and then gave me his heart. I'm good, the ring you can always get later. I'm a simple chic that enjoy simple things in life! What can I say? wink

No mention of ring? I will mention it shio. . .why pesin go fear? All these irrationalities undecided
And i can wait for a ring but i want a ring grin It's the only jewelry i adore so yes i want one. I want a humongous rock the size of the earth grin grin Seriously though, the ring must be fine, even if it's made out of wood, it must be fine.

r231:

oh well grin

maybe he can't afford the ring yet


Then he must just shut the f^c# up. I honestly dont need a ring, save that money for lobola. Just get your uncles to send my family a letter asking for my hand in marriage as well as commence the lobola negotiations.

Otherwise if you cant afford any of that just sharraap! and dont ever buy me a stupid engagement ring, buy me a wedding ring instead.

@r231 and @baslone, please guys i hope you dont get me wrong. As most ladies would agree, that it is nice to know that your man actually thinks of you as the woman he'd like to spend the rest of his life with. But then again, I woudnt want to end up with an angagement ring until my fingers catch arthritis yet no wedding day, auwa! no way. LOL!

try asking Hollywood stars how much they spend on diamond rings only to breakup
as soon as is convenient for them

the ring doesnt matter and as was rightly pointed out,

untill the wedding day the ring doesn't make sense
