Ami1uwant Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I am really curious...if a guy was to propose to you but didn't have a ring would you say yes or do you have a minimum standard in terms of ring price/rock size? Would you do the proposing?
Caslina Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Ring can come later.i would accept it if i love him and wanted to hear it too 2
yellowhibiscus Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If I wanted to marry the person, a ring could wait until later....I, personally, don't even need to have the ring.
catlady11 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 No need to have a ring to ask I don't know if I'd do the proposing. Maybe if I was 99% sure he'd say yes. I really don't know to be honest.
Lady2163 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 My first proposal was kind of lame and without a ring. I guess I'd kind of like it to be sort of planned and maybe a bit over the top. And hate to be negative, but if you don't have money for even a small ring right now, well....you might have a lot of fights about money when you do get married. I haven't priced rings in a long time, but I know a friend got a respectable antique ring (he wanted something with history and longevity) at a pawnshop for around $200.00. My apologies if it isn't money that is preventing you from getting a ring.
Els Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I wouldn't care at all about the ring - personally I couldn't tell the difference between a $50 and a $5000 ring anyway. That being said, in my culture, it would be very unusual for a man to propose before he's very financially stable with decent savings, so the point is rather moot. But even if the guy can afford a $5000 ring, it doesn't mean he has to get one.
acapelo_dp Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I would say yes and then start telling family and friends once I got a ring.
TunaCat Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I would want a ring, but it wouldn't have to be overly fancy. I love simplicity and I wouldn't want my significant other to splurge on something like a ring. I would have no problem proposing to the person I loved and wanted to be with.
Maggie4 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 The current practice of proposing with a ring in hand, is a bad practice in my opinion. It is presumptuous and it's putting that person on the spot. Maybe some men flaked out and women started not believing the proposal was in ernest without a ring. A man's word is still good enough for me, and I'd rather take part in shopping for the ring and trying it on.
kilgore Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If she's worth proposing to, you won't need a ring. If you are worth marrying, you will still get her one. In theory I agree but a ring does signal that this was a thought out decision, a commitment, not a whim
LilaMarie Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If the guy didn't have a ring, I wouldn't take it seriously and laugh. The price of the ring would not matter, as long as I liked it(?) since I would be wearing it most of the time. I would never do the proposing, EVER. 1
Toodaloo Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 The ring I want is free. It is a family heirloom. If he asked my parents and they agreed that I would be happy they would give him the ring to propose. That would mean far more to me than anything else. Problem solved. We, as a couple get to stay financially stable and have more to spend on the wedding and he doesn't need to worry about fit or if I would like it. If your going to propose at least do it right!
ExpatInItaly Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 While I would like a ring of some type, it's not terribly important as long as I feel the proposal is in fact a serious one and not done on a whim or as "maybe someday we should get married?"-type suggestion. The size/price is not important to me. But no, I would not propose to a man.
sandylee1 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I am really curious...if a guy was to propose to you but didn't have a ring would you say yes or do you have a minimum standard in terms of ring price/rock size? Would you do the proposing? My H proposed without a ring. I said 'yes'. I'd rather choose the ring myself and he knew that. I knew the style of ring I wanted, but I also knew he wasn't stinking rich. Of course I didn't want a microscopic ring, but love is more important.
PrettyEmily77 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 If the proposal comes from the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with, it'll be a yes regardless of anything else; it's the guy that makes it . No ring = spur of the moment = yes from me. Ring (any ring) = well thought-out, sure of himself = yes from me. I wouldn't mind doing the proposing.
