I heard this line in an ad for jewelry. I guess that is Why men think They Have to get the proper engagement ring but to me all I thought was Wow! How sad he Has to try to buy her love. Maybe I'm a little different . To me the best diamonds are baseball diamonds. I don't wear rings and I never want to be married! So the only way a man can show is love for me is... to Actually say and mean it! What do yo think? Are you/ were you dreaming of the perfect partner And the perfect ring? Would you be happy with a great partner and an ok ring? Or it Must be both or no marriage?

at the best diamond is a ball diamond. I told my husband I didn't want an engagement ring; just wedding rings. When he bought me one I said I was going to buy him one! But I am too cheap to spend money on something that would not have been worn just to make my point. I was glad that he picked a pretty ring though and that it didn't cost more than he could afford.

You are better than I! If the guy I love spent money on something I didn't want... I would make him take it back. I won't wear it and it turns into a huge symbol of hi Not listening to me! If he insisted I take it , I would hock myself! And he would be gone. No rings a deal breaker

@sarahruthbeth22 He is a keeper. I have no doubts about that. He shows his love in many other ways that truly do matter to me. Coffee in bed for 16 years. Well, really that is so I will watch the news in the bedroom and leave his sports channel alone.

First off I have to say I love you!!! Second I do think your right a guy or a women should say I love you and mean it. I also thinking if someone wants to buy a ring because they want to get married that it probably should be talked about before hand this way they both know if they want to get married to each other and that one day one of them can ask the other. If a ringing happens that will be between them to choice.Some women want a ring and others don't. I don't think it matters if someone does or doesn't matter as long as you two know you love each other and want to be together. Of course you know I have a ring and we talked about me getting one for a few weeks before I was every asked. So I knew it was coming just didn't know when. I also picked out my own ring and someone went behind my back bought it and got it sized to my finger before asking me.

The right guy will Know not to ask me. He will listen and hear me when I tell him, Way before anything gets serious that I don't want to marry. Now after I tell him, after he says he loves me , he gets a ring, it will soon be over!

I don't wear any jewelries, no earrings, necklace or even a ring. I have a wedding ring but I just wore it in my wedding ring. I don't have a habit to wear jewelries. I am not interested in them, too. I prefer my husband to buy something I like rather than the jewelries. For example, I will be happy to have an Android watch than a bracelet

As you know, I have been there and done that. Never again for me. It is not worth getting married. And those rings are way over priced. I know some girls like those engagement rings, I understand that. But the price of some rings could set someone back a long time. Marriage is an institution. Like a nut house is. No different. No matter about the ring. When those papers are signed and the marriage is legal things change dramatically. Believe me. I was there. And the now ex turned into a monster. No one should try and change another. Stay away from marriage. Believe me. I speak from experience.

@sarahruthbeth22 You made the right choice not getting married. I wish I would have never married. But I cannot change the past.

You know I do have to agree with you. I don't think it is the diamonds or the fancy rings that shows a women you love her. I prefer the simple things like spending tome together, talking, laughing, and watching a good movie together. I don't need a diamond ring to prove a guy loves me. I just need them beside me during the good times and the bad. This shows a woman a guy loves them more than anything. I was married once a long time ago. Way too young if you ask me. But I felt like it would of worked better if he was just there for me and not because we got married. I don't want to do it again and I don't want a fancy ring or anything to prove a guy loves me.

I never wanted to get married. I just wanted to be loved. No ring is necessary for true love.

@sarahruthbeth22 I don't think a piece of paper is necessary either if you love someone you are committed to them without the paper

Men differ in the way they think. They think that by letting go of their hard earned monies they are showing how important the person is. We women on the other hand can be happy without large cars and large homes and expensive jewelry. Only a few women want that. Problem is, men put all women in that category.

I would confuse that type of guy! He would want to spend all this money and I would say no!

The ring thing to a woman is a sign of commitment and if a woman is in love then she wants to be sure that her partner feels the same way - hence a ring. It may cost him a little or a lot but it shows his intention - namely marriage. Also having a ring on the left hand tells the world that someone loves her and she is not open for advances from others. If you want to please a woman a necklace or a bunch of flowers will do the trick.

Oh, ok. So since I don't need or want a ring, any man who loves me must find another way . I feel sad for the guy that thinks a ring is what I want.

I wear a wedding ring, but no diamond. The ring shows that the love I share with another person is eternal.
