I have a gold ring on my wedding finger, but Im not married. Its a ring that my mother gave me when I was 5 and I've kept it ever since. I just keep adjusting it. There is no decoration to it, just an imprint of a horses hoof, in the middle. But when it turns on my finger it looks like Im married....
Alot of people have asked if I am but Im not. It's misleading I guess..lol

I believe a woman should be able to wear a ring on any finger that she wants to. I myself won't wear a ring on that finger not even ones I get from my boyfriend. But that's just me. If you want to approach a girl and aren't sure if the ring is "the one" or not, I say just do it. But if you don't feel comfortable, then it's either her loss for wearing a ring on that finger or your's for being too afraid to approach the person.
I don't think that women should wear rings on the left ring finger. Of course, it's personal choice, but we all know that traditionally that that finger says to the world..."I'm taken." Women know that. Men know that. Sor for the women out there who do wear rings on that finger...who knows how many great men may have passed by because they thought you were married!

I hadn't thought about the jewelry connection before, but ....I think I'd have more of an issue with married women (couples) who won't wear a wedding ring at all.
.....or the ones that fall into a pocket if they go out to play.
One ring surprise could be a good thing...the other could be a dangerous thing.

I'm with you on that one. I would personally be offended if my husband went out in public without his wedding ring on. And I'd feel naked if I wasn't wearing mine.
sometimes i do that to "practice" for the big day, hehehe which may be a while.
but i dunno, i suppose maybe they dont want to be approached when they wear it, thus why they wear it?
I sometimes will wear a ring if I go out do not to get picked up on. Sometimes you just want to hang out with friends without being asked out and a ring on the finger is the easiest way to do it.
This was before I had a boyfriend though. I have a promise ring from him but don't wear it much.
I find this annoying as well. If I see a ring I am not going to closely inspect it to find out if it is a wedding or engagement ring. I feel awkward asking to its meaning most of the time. I tend to see the ring and just stay away. I respect the ring.
Then again, it really isn't too hard to approach someone and say "Excuse me. I noticed the ring on your finger and I was wondering what it means." If it turns out to be an engagement or wedding ring though you tend to look quite foolish. I don't think explaining "Well, some women will wear a ring on that finger, any old ring." would make you look any more intelligent in such a situation.

Or you could just admire the ring. Usually the wearer will explain its significance. I still wear my old engagement ring; not because of memories' sake but because it is a beautiful ring. It doesn't look like a traditonal engagement ring (nothing like a diamond solitaire); it looks more like a cocktail ring. I figure any fellow interested enough can always ask about my status - or admire the ring!

I'm right-handed. I once had a ring on my right hand get caught on something - tore the band in half. This is a really pretty ring and I'd hate to have it ruined the same way. It's much safer on the left.
