Is 9 months of dating too early for a promise ring just curious?

[pink_and_inlove]

My boyfriend is really excited to get me a promise ring we’ve known each other for 10 months so it’s been almost a year. I feel excited too

A promise ring basically means I promise myself to you forever

[boggboss]

Meh just a thing people do don't mean much as its essentially just a thing people now do without having any true meaning the same way marriages as a whole are a joke but atheist there is some investment in that department

[pink_and_inlove]

It means a lot of both of us this guy is an old soul and wants to get married and have kids together in the future

[boggboss]

If thats what he wants why not simply save for a engagement ring all together has much more centamental value and means much more

[pink_and_inlove]

We feel like it’s too soon for that we both need to be financially stable

[boggboss]

Yet this ring is essentially the same thing with the name changed and not the unwritten agreement that a wedding will come later down the line as if he sticks to the meanings u will be with him anyway later on in life so I dont see why u wouldn't go down that path anyway yes u want to be financially stable but it literally means the same thing just without the glamour off a promised wedding

[pink_and_inlove]

It still means a lot. He came up with the idea and I felt honored and happy he’s really excited to get one for the both of us I’ve never had one before neither has he so it’s very special to the both of us. We already know that we’re going to marry each other in the future but now is not the time for us since we both live with our parents and are unable to lounge out on our own

[boggboss]

Meh fair enough I'm happy for the both off you then just for me I dont see why that option means any different then the other but thats just my opinion

[Skankhunt]

Not necessarily. There are people who get married in 6 months after meeting each other. There are people who get married even sooner, like 6 weeks, they know each other for 6 weeks and they get married. The point is, is if he doesn't make you happy for nothing. Maybe he doesn't want to get married, but is afraid to tell you that.

I wore one when I was 23. It was my first relationship. Looking back I was too young. I am so different now. He was controlling and I mistook that for caring. My advice don’t get serious until later on.

[pink_and_inlove]

My boyfriend has never been controlling but instead has always been very sweet and caring. We won’t get married until several years from now because now we’re not financially stable and in college

[Leah501]

Okay just make sure you’re both on the same page. Why he wants you to wear one and what it means for you both :) my ex bought one for me because he wanted other guys to know I was taken. <3

[pink_and_inlove]

That’s a red flag lol

[MindYourEyes]

Honestly whenever it feels right for you and him. I got a promise ring after 6 months. Yeah we broke up but it was right at the time 🤣.

[pink_and_inlove]

Why did you guys break up?

[MindYourEyes]

I was in a dark place and didn’t want to drag him into it more then I already did. And he was more into partying at the time. So I decided to break it off and take time to rebuild myself alone. But it’s all good! 🙂 let him give you the promise. If he’s been showing you and you trust him why not.

[pink_and_inlove]

Im glad that me and my boyfriend both act like old people lol

[MindYourEyes]

Haha that’s always more chill and easy xD

[scooogy]

There had been a guy who proposed to a woman after 3 hours of getting to know her.

[pink_and_inlove]

Its not a proposal

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah, I think after 10 months that would be fine to get a promise ring

[Jjpayne]

I'm not sure myself but it does sound like a fun and playful relationship step in the right direction. I say just see where it leads

[loveslongnails]

If I had a dollar for every relationship that didn't last forever after a promise ring was given, I'd be rich !! But to answer your answer, the time doesn't matter, the relationship does.

[TallAnon]

Depends, but you seem way too young for that in my opinion

[slatyb]

Promise rings are silly in my opinion. What does it promise?

[Honesttguy]

Question, what do you need guy for? Why is he necessary to be part of your life?

[legalboxers]

I did it around then the 1st time around. She was sorta happy but wanted it sooner..
*Shrugs*

[bklynbadboy1]

Yeah its a little early

[pink_and_inlove]

But its not proposing lol

[bklynbadboy1]

I know and I think you got this. You've come along way and I'm so proud of you

[pink_and_inlove]

Thank you so much

[bklynbadboy1]

Your welcome

[Pink2000]

Yes. That’s early

[pink_and_inlove]

But we’ve known each other for almost a year now?

[pink_and_inlove]

It’s not like we’re getting engaged lol

[Pink2000]

Girl 10 months... isn’t a full year. If you feel like you really know him and he really knows you and y’all obviously love and care about eachother then I don’t see an issue. It’s about what you feel. From my terrible experiences, I thought I knew someone and I hadn’t even scratched the surface 😭. But he seems like a good guy.

[pink_and_inlove]

I’m so sorry. That’s why for living together/ getting married I’m going to wait for years

[Pink2000]

That’s a good idea. I’m still afraid to move in with my boyfriend.

[pink_and_inlove]

I think you should be good you guys have been together for so long if i were you i would be excited to move out lol

[Sevenpointfive]

i've had a couple of girls do it a t 3 months

[Dweezil]

How old are you two?

[pink_and_inlove]

I am 19 and he is 23

[Dweezil]

A couple more years would be a good time for you to married. So if you want to make that commitment now go for it.

Do you think your love will last until then?

[pink_and_inlove]

This is the first time that I believe in something but yes.

[pink_and_inlove]

We both want to wait to get married though I have to finish college so maybe in 3 more years

[Dweezil]

Sounds like a plan

[pink_and_inlove]

He has a long time to go though he’s supposed to graduate in the fall, do medical assisting for a year , and then go to PA school

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh- he is? That's sweet.

[COMMODOREII]

I would say yeah

[Anonymous]

Who cares? Ya both ugly😂
