in every story that i heard of a guy proposing to a girl, there is always a ring involved.. but does it really matter more than a guy's proposition of love?! will it make any difference in the proposal if the guy has a ring for his girl or not?! is the feeling the same with or without the ring?! i dont know. i cant tell, too young for that i guess..hehe

Things are always perfect in movies, but people can be a bit more practical in real life.
In reality, more often than not I think a guy proposes without a ring, and then lets her choose what she likes in the days after. Afterall, most guys are not sure about what size their gal wears. And some know her tastes perfectly. Other guys are the type that would buy her a ring that is the opposite of what she likes just because he is not good at that sort of thing :)
I know some couples look at rings before a proposal when the relationship is to the point that they know they are going to get married, its just a question of when the question is popped. Sometimes its not specifically of going out to look for an engagement ring but her admiring something in the window and trying it on and then it turns out that he goes back for it.
To really answer your question, a proposal is just as special when there is no ring initially.

lol
I agree most men just dont know ur ring size so some dont propose with a ring!
and no its not IMPORTANT at all - its just a *tradition*
and of course it is the Movies that make us all want that *ring proposal* lol right?
I have seen men give houses as the engagment *ring* I would NOT have turned that down either lol XX :)
Hubby proposed with a ring tho.. not a traditional *ROCK* but with a cute tiny heart shaped CZ with two small hearts along side it - I dont care what it is i LOVE IT! its mine and i wear it everyday with my wedding band! ( which is the second one since the first lost its *gold*) hey we had no $$ lol lol
I have it in a keepsake - :) XX

Hi,
I do see a ring as symbol of love as a rose, as a one eye close site so on goes those love expressions. Still a proposal from heart with a true love from heart is most valued. Ring is a presented as a symbol of love I hope. Any how if my lover likes a ring I would give one for her as I love her from my heart. I do not want her be sad as I love her more than a ring.

Well I personally feel like the ring is such a beautiful symbol of a couple joining together, so yes for me it's pretty important. What's more important, however, is that the man puts alot of thought into actually asking the girl to be his wife, to make it special and memorable.

Well, i don't think that's TOO important, but having a ring in aproposal is much romantic and symbolical than just by simply asking and talking about it, right? Me, I want a guy to propose with a ring even if it's the cheapest kind, or even if it's not gold. For me, it's alot romantic when you do something like that. Of course, what's more important is the love in the relationship. What would you do anyways if a guy propose to you and you don't love him after all? The ring won't mean anything even if that's the most expensive kind.

The ring is just "symbolic", what really matter is the love that the "lover" feel between them, a ring will not make any difference in their relationship.

No,Because it is just a proposal ring. Now wait a minute if the proposal ring looks like a dots the dots ring and ladies we have seen some dots to dots rings.I would have to said to him I hope my wedding ring will be a little more bigger with more diamonds to see.
