As a woman would it be considered rude to show a boyfriend the kind of engagement ring you want? (Page 3)

[Dale1982]

Wow wow wow. Find the be first, see if you've got a future together first and then burn that bridge when you come to it. By the time your ready to be engaged your tastes will have changed trust me. Everybody changes through stages of their lives. You can't plan life like a meeting it's got a helluvs way of throwing curveballs up like it enjoys ruining our plans. Just go with the flow

personally I'd suggest it, but I wouldn't force it or anything. I'm sure whoever you marry can figure out your tastes, but don't show a future boyfriend. that's just insanely clingy and a bad sign. suggest when you feel that you're ready to be married and so is your partner

[WhereAmI]

Wow. I think I'd be running in the other direction for someone thinking about rings when they haven't even met me yet. lol

Someone told me the general rule is 2-3 months gross salary I think? Maybe that's only if the bride's family is paying for the wedding?

Anywho... kind of hard to make the proposal a surprise if you drop the hint your looking for input on rings.

[LORESKI]

i think its kinda rude but i think its ok to say what type you want but you should be happy with whatever he gets you money doesn't come easy if i bought a ring for a women i wanted to marry only for her to get mad at it cause its not the one she wanted instead of appreciating it for what it symbolizes id leave her

[SarahsSummer]

I think it's one thing to show him the style ring you like but to use specifics "rediculously esxpensive" specifics, would be improper, offensive and tacky

[TheDevilInside]

I don't understand why many women are so fixated on the type of ring. Like, aren't you supposed to value the guy more than the ring? If you have to ask something like this online.. Then I don't know, maybe your priorities need to be straightened up

[Anonymous]

I consider that sort of rude. However, I am not the kind of person who cares about the price of the ring. I wouldn't give a shit about that in general

[Anonymous]

I would probably break up with the girl. It would seem like you value the ring and the monetary value of it more than the guy.
The most I would spend would be around $300 because if she is concerned with the price, then she is too greedy for me to like her.

[mooky06]

I wouldn't find that rude. I think it's understandable. Maybe if he had several templates to look at (on your Pinterest wall) then he can pick something he likes out of the bunch

[IsenhowerJ]

Not exactly rude, but showing him engagements early in the relationship may scare him off. You should hold off engagement rings until marriage has been added in the conversation naturally by both of you.

[clampfan101]

Agreed.

[Superchick123]

Yes it is. The engagement ring itself doesn't matter, it's the meaning behind it. However, I do agree, we all have our tastes, however, he's your boyfriend, he knows your taste without you even having to say it.

[Prettygurl12]

I don't think it's a problem to give a long term boyfriend an idea of the kind of ring you'd like. That is, assuming you see an actual future with him.

I think it screams crazy to show a boyfriend of under a year this page of rings.

[TMarissaWL]

You're a 20 year old university student, never had a boyfriend, and you think a guy is going to get you a tiffany ring?

Last I checked most guys refused to even get married anymore let alone buy tiffany rings...

[cavmanier]

Lol pretty true.

[dylanthe13]

I'm here to read comments cuz i do the same. and also I love Tiffany and Co classic engagement ring. showed to my boyfriend and he said 'oh wow im not sure' and i was like 'it's okay' and he said 'I'll save money for that, you'll get the ring' 😌

[SomeGuy37]

No, not at all. I don't have a clue what she might want. I would assume, though, that she would probably show me something that is a lot more like her dream, first, then hopefully something more realistic, later. . .

[williamsa1997]

if you're getting to the stage you both want to get married then there's no harm saying you like this ring or that ring, but just subtly mentioning engagement rings would probably cause issues, especially if they're not even considering marriage yet

[klausterfobic]

I wouldn't find it rude. Guys can sometimes be oblivious to jewelery. You are going to want something to go with your style and personality and when the moment comes tine for that special moment, you aren't going to want it to be tarnished by some hideous thing, you are going to want something beautiful to match the occasion.

[cth96190]

Rather than rude, I think that it is common sense.
Were I to be in a position in which I considered marrying a woman, I would have her design or choose the ring.
She has to wear it, after all. She should have something that the likes.

[meatballs21]

That's a bit overt. I picked out her ring based partially on what I knew about her and what she does (her ring needed to be practical, she used her hands all day) and also by looking at what she already has and what she likes.

[gmanhotman]

Show him the look style colours etc but anything after can send a wrong mesage and money will come in very quick so if a few choices were on the cheaper aide it might be of a benifit to you in the long run.
