Should i get my fiance a ring or not?

My fh has one, only because we bought it as his wedding band and then he decided he didn't like it enough to be his wedding ring lol. Good thing we got it for free :-)

I got my FH one. Partially because I was sick of other women hitting on him and hoped them seeing a ring would deter some of them. He loves it, wears it every day. If he really wants one then just get him one, maybe not super expensive since it wont be worn after the wedding (if you get him a wedding band too).

Go to JVL and get one of their $299 Tungsten rings, for free with $25 shipping for entering "Brides" in the code. I think that's it, but not sure- you might wanna check other posts here. My fiance does not have one, BUT if he had stayed in California running his cab business, I would have. I was getting sick to death of the "so what do you want for a tip?" ladies.... bleh!!

If you wanted a ring to indicate your engagement, why shouldn't he?

Hello,

I really enjoyed getting my wedding engagement ring. It was very romantic and traditional. I don't believe that the woman should get the man a wedding ring. I would want to know why he is asking for a wedding band in the first place. He needs to get you an engament ring and then once he proposes you both look at wedding bands together. It is so special to pick the wedding bands together. Just my thoughts, but am a traditional gal.

Sure why not.. and trust ME, rings don't deter SOME skanky women... JUST SAYIN.

If he really wants one, then sure get him one. I offered to buy my FH one, but I know he won't wear it. I'm probably going to get him some cufflinks instead, which I know he also won't wear but meh...

This thread reminds me of Boy Meets World where Cory wanted an engagement ring as well.

If he wants one, get one for him. It doesn't have to be anything expensive since it will most likely be replaced with a wedding band. He wouldn't wear both like girls do, unless he just switched it to his right hand.

The Sundance catalog has some really beautiful, not too expensive rings. I think it's a great idea.

Celia - good call re: Sundance catalog. (I only wish they would stop sending me catalogs! I have internet access, people!)

On etsy, there are some nice, wood-inlaid rings. Since FH does woodworking, I almost got him one. But...they cannot be adjusted, so I decided against it. But if you know his ring size for sure, I, at least, think they're really nice and very masculine.

Like this one:

If you don't yet know his ring size, go shopping for wedding bands and find out. Then you can surprise him with a mangagement ring.

I say go for it. I always figured that the guy wants you to wear his engagement ring he gave you to signify you were taken so why can't they wear one to signify they are taken as well. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander I say. I ended up getting my FH a Sears engagement ring a bit pricier but at the time he was trucking and I wasn't wanting anything to cutoff his finger so he has a titanium carbide ring that would shatter if it got caught up in anything.

If he wants an engagement band then get him one. To each their own. And for Future Mrs. C....you Should be flattered when your fiance gets hit on. I love it when my guy gets hit on. I know it means nothing to him and that he loves only me, but it also reminds me how lucky i am that he is mine.

If he really wants one, then you should get him one!

my fiance' has one...its just a simple band, but he said he wanted to wear a ring until he gets his wedding band. And its nice when we go out, people see us both with rings on and automatically think we are married!

Awww thanks so much you guys! i appreciate your feedback, and i feel that its a great idea to get him one. but at first i was a bit confused. i am glad to hear from all of you. i was excited to see how many people have responded.

I think if he wants one to go for it. My FH and I exchanged "promise" rings years ago. So, he already has a claddagh ring on his hand.

Sabrina was right. Rings do not deter others from hitting on people. Having been divorced for a very long time and in the club world, I think sometimes, it attracts skanks of either sex.
