   Promise rings are for little kids. If you’re going to get engaged, get engaged.

   If you really feel it, yes. :]
   & if you think she feels it too, then I’m sure it should be fine.
   Plus, girls like that kind of stuff.

   You can… but it has only been 3 months, she might think it’s a little strange. You should do what you feel is right. A promise ring can be a cute gift.

   Dude 3 months is way too early wait at least a year a see how things go. I had my gf for 2 yrs and never gave her a promise ring because i never knew how she really felt about me deep inside her, after 2 yrs she cheated on me and i had to let her go. my point is promise rings are only good if both of you agree.

    If you know she is the one and you know you want to marry her, get her an engagement ring. Just because you propose at the 3month point, doesn’t mean you have to get married right away. You could have 1 year engagement or even a 4 year. Its all up to you.

    I just suggest if you know how you feel, why prolong what your going to do anyway and save yourself the money on the second ring.

    Good Luck

    A promise ring that you promise you’ll get engaged, which is a promise to get married. So a promise ring is technically a promise to get married.

    IMO, 3 months is waaay to early to be making any sort of promises about the relationship. If you have to break the promise later, it compromises your integrity. It’s great you’re so excited about your girlfriend and your relationship. Everything seems great now b/c you’re both on your best behavior. Focus on getting to know each other better, and save any promises for the engagement.

    A promise ring can mean what ever you want it to. It is not always a pre-engagement. It could be that you promise to be there for her when she needs you, it could mean you promise to be faithful, you promise to be with only her (kind of like the old idea of “going steady”).
    Just make it clear what it means when you give it to her so she doesn’t freak out thinking you are proposing. lol. Also, I’d go with a stone that isn’t a diamond. Get a ring with her favourite stone on it.

    If you wait longer, it will mean more.

    A promise ring kind of has an ambiguous meaning and I think relationships shouldn’t try and be ambiguous. Date at least 6 more months and see if you want to give her a non ambiguous engagement ring then.

    Three months is a very short amount of time. But when it is the real thing sometimes you know in a day, week, or month. A promise ring is just that a promise. I think it would be fine to give her the ring. It isn’t like you want to go to Vegas tonight and get married. I think that it is a cute and romantic idea

    You are right - it is too early.

    Give her a necklace or some flowers or something. A promise ring is just a jerky way of saying “I think I love you but I know that it is too early to know if I want to marry you and give you an engagement ring”. It is an insult to the girl involved, and confusing to everyone else.

    3 months is pretty early…give her a ring just because you love her…I’m sure she will LOVE that! Plus it leaves some surprise for when you give her an engagement ring.

    Good luck

    My boyfriend gave me one at 6months. I think you just know when you find the right one. I know the engagement ring is coming soon, but i will always have this ring, too.
