What are your thoughts on promise rings?

Question

Bullshit? Or Valid? Explain why

Vesuvius87 · Accepted Answer

It depends on the age of the people involved.

Minors in HS ages 14-17 years old or the very young college student ages 18-22 years old:

It can be seen as a cute stage during your youthful years, esp if you're still underaged, aren't old enough to even have a job and just got out of HS recently and clearly don't know what you want out of a relationship.

Adults ages 23 and older:

Childish and ridiculous. What exactly are you promising for? Promising what? How about just show your love through actions and if you're going to promise commitment then propose. The engagement ring doesn't have to be expensive either. It can be a cheap one for $100. Children and teens do promise rings. Adults propose marriage.

They're for kids in their teens. A couple of times, I was offered one, but I felt it was just a way of a boy trying to tie me down when I wasn't ready yet. I didn't even want an engagement ring. When I was ready, I loved receiving my wedding band.

Depends on the couple and they're dynamic for some relationships I think it gives comfort security and a feeling of love being close but I think some couples also see it as cliche, out dated or just not a big deal. If I was dating a girl and she wanted them I'd be perfectly happy to as long as we'd been dating a while and things were going strong.

If you are 16 and getting married is unrealistic, you don't get engaged; you just give her a promise ring. Once marriage becomes a realistic possibility, a promise ring seems to be a juvenile way of avoiding real commitment.

Summeroflove · Answer

It’s a nice gesture but relationship’s shouldn’t be built on materialism.

Lucy68 · Answer

I mean they're cute and if I was dating someone and they gave me one I would say it would be the sweetest gesture, so I guess I would have to say I'm valid it that sense.

Babebytheshore85 · Answer

Bullshit, that's for kids. The only type of woman that would accept this is as mentioned the insecure ugly ones seeking validation.

TheSmellOfVictoria · Answer

Probably a nice gesture and appreciated in highschool, otherwise, kind of strange for adults. I've bought girls necklaces and earrings but never a ring.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I mean, it's whatever the person wants. If you're with each other long-term and you want to give one while you decide when you want to get married, then I think that's fine. For me personally I'd prefer a necklace since my fingers aren't made for rings.

Abbycado · Answer

Eh, not something I’d be into. Waste of money to show what we already should be showing…that we are committed to each other.

Beckybooboo · Answer

Like most have said, cute for teens but unnecessary for adults. I was recently engaged, that is my "promise" ring. Any ring before that, would actually cheapen that moment lol

itsannalee · Answer

Bullshit. That’s just ring to keep hang people on. Like, if you interested to someone for serious relationship, just propose to her

Agape93 · Answer

It's stupid. If you wanna wait until marriage, just do it

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

A Bunch Of Bullshit! Marriage is all about the three rings. Engagement ring, wedding ring & suffering.

katiesmuff · Answer

Can only think of one girl I knew who had one (a young hostess) and it had something to do with the church she and her family attended. Have no idea how it ever turned out as it was 5 or 6 years ago.

LazerBean · Answer

It just depends on the people I think. Sometimes it's cute and neat, other times it's just cringe and a waste of time. I do think it's usually more for teens though, but not necessarily always I guess

slatyb · Answer

WTF do they even mean? I'm not going to date anyone else until I break up with you? An engagement ring indicates a desire to marry, and often the wedding planning immediately follows.

Jove79 · Answer

Promise ring? Promise what? To not cheat and run off with someone else? She’s gonna do it! Lol

To honest, I never heard of a promise ring. but like everyone else’s input, it seems ok for younger people

BCRanger10 · Answer

The only "promise rings" that are really worth anything or are important are engagement and wedding rings.

SeekerOfTruth007 · Answer

They're about as valid as actual wedding rings, which is to say "not much". You spend a year's income trying to impress a woman, and she cheats on you with the first guy she meets.

Hannajenky · Answer

I don’t think I’m into but they are kind of sweet

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I think it's a really cute gesture. Maybe if you don't wanna marry but you wanna show your girl you really do like her its nice.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Great idea. A lot of couples aren’t ready for an engagement, so a promise ring is a great way to symbolize their love.

lyrem04 · Answer

They’re cute and all but hold no true importance — I’d like the real one thank yew ! 😭

WonderingManII · Answer

I couldn't decided between valid, and bs. If someone knows what a promise ring is, they can see it and know not to hit on that person.

alice55 · Answer

I think they're cute but maybe more appropriate for teenager of young twenty years old.

jazzy34 · Answer

I’d rather have an engagement ring. The promise ring thing is kind of silly to me.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

If you're a teenager sure it's cute. As an adult? Silly AF.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Waste of money. I once gave me girlfriend 9 years ago a promise ring. You wanna know where it ended up? A fire hydrant.

Oncewildtwiceburned · Answer

Because you have no shoulder development, where’s them traps at

Dongie · Answer

Valid for youngsters.

Sluttt · Answer

Its a toy ring you throw it away when you are bored

KittygosMeoWW · Answer

Bull just get engaged and married that’s a promise

AviatorTom · Answer

Promise to do what?

Twalli · Answer

You shouldn't need a physical representation of a personal choice.

BDRick · Answer

I think they’re valid, because they mean something to the two individuals alone

Gilliansayshey · Answer

You asked because you don’t have any money for it, loser

Sabretooth · Answer

well, are you struggling? are you underage? cause, if not... yeah, it's bullshit.

Godihateyou · Answer

It's an engagement ring with no balls, feigned commitment amd cost very little.

loveyouoak · Answer

I think they are unnecessary.

DJB72 · Answer

Why not just get engaged?

jamesgoldman · Answer

Great in my scrap inventory

LiamJHayden · Answer

It depends upon the people.

Anonymous · Answer

I think they are usually valid.

hello4433 · Answer
