He gave me a ring. Not a propose. But I don't want to wear it. It makes me feel awkward. I don't know how to talk to him and I don't understand why he bought me a ring. I feel like I have to wear it all the time because he will check or something. Why did he do that?
It sounds like you’re in a bit of an awkward spot with this ring situation. Rings can definitely carry a lot of symbolism, and it’s understandable to feel a bit confused or pressured if the intentions behind it aren’t clear.
Firstly, it’s completely okay to feel how you’re feeling about wearing the ring. Maybe your boyfriend thought of it as a meaningful gift, perhaps as a symbol of affection, without realizing the pressure it might put on you. It’s also possible he didn’t think too deeply about how a ring might be perceived differently than other types of gifts.
Let him know that you appreciate the gesture but are a bit uncomfortable wearing the ring because of the message it might send or the commitment it implies. Ask him openly what his intentions were in giving you the ring.
He probably thought it would please you and signify a serious relationship. I have done that though in my case the girl was lobbying for it.
Any idea how expensive it was? It could be intended as a dress ring (cheaper) or a relationship ring (more expensive).
Why don't you want to wear it? Don't like how it looks? Makes you feel more committed than you are? Do you wear other rings?
If it is a relationship than I think you have to be careful. If you spurn the ring you are spurning him. You are particularly spurning him if you normally wear another ring. If you don't then you could away with only wearing it occasionally I guess. If it is a dress ring occasionally wearing it would more ok.
But you may have to accept it is him and his ring or no ring and no him.
any affectation that someone buys someone is a token of how they feel for someone. it's a lasting devotion. it can be hard if you don't feel the same way about someone and are confronted with such a gift. but in my experience honesty is the only policy. even if that causes heartbreak, be honest.
I've had guys buy me rings before. One was for my birthday and the other was for Valentine's day.
It's perfectly fine if he bought you a nice little ring. He probably saw it somewhere and thought it would look pretty on you.
m u need to ask him
we aren't dating him so we dont know much about it
tho for me ig its only a gift
It sounds like you're tangled up in the mystery of love tokens and the pressure they can bring! Your boyfriend's gesture of giving you a ring, even if it's not for a proposal, might be his way of lovebombing, showing how much he values and wants to be connected with you. But I get it, wearing a ring you're not comfortable with can feel like you're in a romance straight out of a drama series, and not in a good way. Communication is key! Gently express your feelings to him. Share that while you appreciate the gesture, wearing the ring makes you feel awkward. Maybe there's a compromise, like wearing it on a necklace or only on special occasions? Remember, it's all about navigating this with understanding and affection. Let's turn this awkward situation into an opportunity to deepen your connection. 😘

Why ask us, a bunch of random strangers? Talk to him. I'm guessing he likes you... a lot.
u Why aren't you asking HIM this question?
There could be various reasons why your boyfriend bought you a ring. It could be a symbol of commitment, expressing his desire for a deeper level of dedication and partnership in your relationship. Alternatively, it might be a gesture of affection, demonstrating his love and appreciation for you. Some people also gift rings as a symbol of promise or as a token of celebration for a significant milestone in the relationship, such as an anniversary or special occasion. Regardless of the specific reason, receiving a ring from your boyfriend typically signifies his feelings of affection and commitment towards you.
If you like the particular ring, wear it on your right hand ring finger. You could also say something to him along the line of "I think it's a really pretty piece of jewelry... and I just wonder what made you pick this out for me in particular?"
u Why don’t you want to wear it? Is it too fancy? Is it too cheap looking or you just don’t like things on your finger you need to tell him the truth because every time you see this guy you have to have it on your finger and what if you run into him it’s just gonna make things more complicated than you’re gonna have to start coming up with excuses. It’s best Just be honest. He can take it back and get his money back
He bought you a ring because he's your boyfriend. Why would he not buy you a ring? Doesn't it make sense for him to buy you one? Haven't you heard of other women getting jewelry from their significant others before?
Would you rather him buy me or other women a ring?
Hope you are able to leanr to communicate with your bf…it will solve a lot of issues… such as this.
How come your instant reaction when he gave it to you wasn't to ask what the significance of the ring was?
Maybe he is telling his family you're engaged, without you even knowing?
what kind of avoidance is that? seek a counselor to figure out what is going on.
Why not just ask him why he brought the ring and explain to him how it makes you feel. He is honestly the only one who can answer this question
its a piece of jewellery and you're overthinking this massively.
Just a friendship ring , no big deal , just wear it sometimes and see how you go.
You are almost 40 and don't know how to communicate in a relationship?
You should ask him because he is the only one that can give you the coirrect answer.
He wants to further your relationship with him.
He may have bought it as a friend just because he liked the ring.
Promise ring?
uh, ASK HIM why? ?
You're 39 ffs.
Use your words!!! Ask him why
Because he wants to trick you into accepting anal
