Christmas: Promise rings for guys?

So it's normally the girl who gets the engagement ring, right? Well is it weird for guys to get one, too? In the engaged couples I know, both have one. How's it fair that only the girl gets it? Anyways, my real question: Would it be weird to get a promise ring as a Christmas present for the guy? I love the plain, kind of thick, silver rings for guys...I want to get one of those as a Christmas present for my boyfriend, but I don't know if he'd like it. Would that be stupid? I don't know. I just like the idea.

I think that it would very romantic! I was thinking of getting my bf one for his birhtday. His b-day is on Christmas day.

I don't think of having a ring around my ''ring finger'' as a sign that I am married; taken, or a ring around my loves "ring finger" as a sign that he is married; taken, as well. For starters, because we aren't married, you can say we're engaged because he asked me to marry him, but he just didn't have a ring at the time, though I don't believe one has to have a ring to be engaged simply because in a lot of cases couples can't afford it at the time, are looking for a specific one or are just waiting. And 2nd, I see it as a sign as a way of showing ones love; showing that my love has been GIVEN not taken!

I think a "promise" ring for your guy would be great! I got one for my boyfriend as a symbol of our love; my love for him, & to show that I have given my heart to him... For his birthday! I put it in one of my dad's ring boxes, brought it out to him, got down on one knee & said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone laughed the rest of the night, both with me & at me... :P

And I agree, I LOVE the thick, silver rings for guys! I gave one like that, which was also stainless steel, to my boyfriend! It wasn't fancy, expensive or anything like that... Love has no price.

Um, although many guys might like it, there are also many that probably wouldn't. You should definitely ask him before you spend any money on it, or find out if he would want one.

Lol yeah, see if hed like it first. i saw a ring the other day i wanna get my boyfriend, it was silver and said 'my soulmate' in irish. i may still get it.

^^ That sounds really cool!

Thank you so much, you guys have helped! His birthday is a couple weeks before Christmas, so I was also thinking of a combination type thing. See, at first I'd never heard of anyone who thought the guy should have a ring too. But maybe some girls are just selfish lol. But you guys have helped a lot, and I agree, I probably should talk to him about it first. His problem is that he hates it when I spend money on him, because neither one of us have much, but he's gonna have to get over it! Lol. Thanks again!

The only problem is he's not irish! LOL!!!!!!!! yeah i hate when my boyfriend spends money on me cause he just lost his job and even when he had one, im not materialistic... but he got me a ring and i wasn't complaining! loll!

I think its a good idea. thats cute <33 i would say ask him first...jokingly of course...

PROMISE RING FOR GUY? WHAT KIND OF IDEA IS THAT? HEHE

Lol yeah, my boyfriends already gotten me a ring and suchhh. so i would see if he hints at it or anythign first.

Fountains of...yeah-
Um, thanks? I totally have no confidence now. I'm not going to do it. Get him one. I didn't have much confidence to start with. Now I'm crushed...

He's not much of a romantic, but not because he doesn't care...just because...he doesn't think about it, you know? It doesn't occur to him. He wouldn't get me a rin, I'm pretty sure. That stuff just...I dunno, doesn't occur to him. He can't afford it anyways.

Thanks guys.

Its not a stupid idea as you think i did it with my ex fiance but it wasnt for christmas it was for our 2 months but a plain silver or gold band is all you need for your future hubby. i would personally like to meet a guy who wants a promise ring because not all girls want one if you know wat i mean. so yea a plain silver band should be all you need.

~~BHI~~
