Is it weird my girlfriend wants to pick out her engagement ring?

[Anonymous]

She'd rather pick it out herself than me propose and give it to her by surprise.

She will have it for the rest of her life, and you will be paying a significant amount of money for it. It’s great that she’s willing to help pick it that way you know it will be suitable for her lifestyle.
jewellery is a pretty personal item and not all rings are suitable to be worn every day, plus a lot of people have metal allergies and gold colour preferences.
if she wanted to buy you a car… would you like to have some input?

[Asker]

Yes.

Fuck that shit and then you've already ruined the whole surprise about it anyway if she knows you're going to propose anyway then what does it matter when you do it it's so stupid dumb dumb shit tradition is fucking stupid you shouldn't even need a ring to propose you know what you should just start all over again and you might as well just surprised the shit out of her with the question and got the ring later instead of talking about it first

She has probably fantasized about it since she was 3 years old and she is going to be wearing it the rest of her life. I think having the girl pick it out is the norm, not the exception.

My husband surprised me with his pick. Although I did shop for some rings that I would love to have. I don’t like interrupting the fun or taking it out of the surprise. I let GOD help him decide. it’s not fair having my cake and eat it too. We can’t have everything in the world our way.

I don't think so. I had a small ruby "friendship ring" I used to propose to my wife. Then we went to pick out mountings at my family jeweler. We had some stones from my mom's and grandma's rings to use.

People these days have no sense of traditionalism.

Honestly you could just get a cheap ring to propose with and then let her pick out the engagement ring. That way you both get what you want.

Not that weird these days

Hell I know the kinda ring I woulda loved to propose with if I had the money to buy it and if it wasn't something that just isn't going to happen for me (1.5-2ct G/VS round in a Tiffany setting in platinum)

that's probably the most unromantic thing i ever heard XD

[slatyb]

Not weird. But do you really need one? It’s just a thing invented by the diamond cartel.

[888theGreat]

Nope, they pick their own ring now. However, I have 3 super rings that they would want.

[In_Trance]

No when it comes to things like this women want to have their cake and eat it too

[wittymilf]

Be kinda like if she decided to buy you a car :) just surprised you with what she liked best.

[noohair]

Don't get hung up on this. Let her do this. No sense life together with this issue to fight over. Mine was the same way.

[Hangry06]

Not really. She knows what she wants and you don't

[bean2k21]

Pffffffff big freaking surprise

[Truthatanycost]

How else will she pick the most expensive one...
