Liselle · Guru

All I want is an engagement ring. I won't get it, but that's what I want.

Buffington · Guru

I don't think being good at being naughty counts Sage hahaha hohoho

Kim, is it that you don't think you'll get one because he won't ask you or is it that you think you won't get one because it's way too expensive in the jewelry stores?

If it's the cost thing hun, drop a few hints that you have this forum friend that is a jeweler!!!
ho ho ho
I'll even post a few pics in the artist showcase of my newest pieces! Then just try to get him to look at them and...

DUHHHHH.... and then I forgot to post what I want from Santa. Well here he is...

Eeeeee!! That is the cutest little baby!!! Soooooo lifelike!!

No, I won't get a ring because he wont ask. We've discussed it, and he simply won't ask me. Sigh. At least he's better than my ex. :)

Liselle, you know what to do to get that engagement ring. I'll just tell you how I got married, we went on a date xmas eve, one on New Years Eve, Sam said would you marry a guy like me, I said yes, he said , when, I then said on your B'day, 3rd Jan, we got married on the 13th so it is almost 45 yrs and I have a new engagement ring for our 45th anniversary. The thing is, all you girls today try things before you buy. Not a good idea, so if this is allowed Pat, she has to become a born again. LOL. Then he will have to pop the question. The thing is my Dad said, if any of my girls get pregnant before they get married I'll shoot myself, well I didn't want to put him to the test, Just loved him so much. So Sam had to marry if he didn't want to wait. Again another LOL. XXXXX June.

Liselle · Guru

Well, June, the thing is, if I was to impose a restriction like that, I would be the only one to suffer. He was alone for over 2 years. No sex. He can do it. I can't! LOL

I'll just wait it out. It will happen eventually. And even if it never does, I'm happy with him, and I'm not going anywhere.

sara zata · Guru

Good on you Liselle, I'm glad you are one of these girls that can stick it out though thick or thin, there isnt many of us left these days. XXXXX June.

Liselle · Guru

Well, thank you, June!

Yes, I'd say I stick things out. I was married for 15 years...most of them bad. So yeah. I stick with things.

Buffington · Guru

Here are a couple of suggestions (if you want them hun)...
1. YOU could propose to him... we are supposed to be equals in this day and age, so why not. Maybe just not on Valentines Day or any mushy holiday.
OR

2. This couple we know had been dating and then living together for over like 6-7 years. She wanted to get married but he didn't cause he had already tried that one. So she finally said... well, I don't care if we get married or not but I would be ok with being engaged for the rest of our lives together.
Well... so he got her an engagement ring and funny thing is... 2 years later, they got married! I figured that way it took the "marriage" pressure off him so he wasn't such a comittment-phobe.

June, thats great that you have been married for so many years (to the same man). I am on my second husband. I was married to the first one for 10 yrs and this one for 22 years (been with him for 25).

Liselle · Guru

I really just want a ring to wear....lol...:P

Buffington · Guru

Well, maybe ask Santa for one for Christmas (maybe not with a diamond in it lol). How about your birthstone, or another nice stone you like? Maybe that would be the way to go eh? :o

Liselle · Guru

I think I'd have a better chance of Santa giving me a ring!! :)

jburle · Senior Member

LOL..... Well There are more than one way to get your ring you want... And if he isn't going to give you one..... You buy the ring you want (doesn't have to be expensive, doesn't have to be a diamond, doesn't really have to be from him) (although you would like it to be) and you buy that beautiful ring and put it on your finger... and look at him and say " I am engaged to myself!!!!!) lol and the funny part to that is.... A friend of mine did that.... and she was married about 6 months later... cause her boyfriend got tired of hearing from their family "oh you asked tiffany to marry you... and when they heard Tiffany's reply which was " oh no he was to scared.... I simplied asked myself to marry myself!.... ~the end.... she told their family.... and of course their son was like dad your mean.... so they got married... it's not the most convent way or orginal... and she took it from that show something and the CITY!... lol they have a movie now two movies...

There's hope, And there's your will to have an engagment ring......

If that doesn't work for yourself.. at least you will be engaged to yourself and have a boyfriend!.. lol...

Liselle · Guru

Heheheheheh!!! I LIKE that idea!!

Buffington · Guru

Sounds interesting :o

Liselle · Guru

I am considering it. Seriously considering it. :)

Buffington · Guru

Hey, I made myself a claddah ring and wore it heart towards me. People ask who is the dear friend that gave it to me and I said I gave it to myself. I am my best friend (which they thought was weird because supposedly your husband when you're married is supposed to be your best friend). So when I wear it I always turn the heart in towards me. He never notices though, he's just not a jewelry person. Says jewelers should only sell watches cause thats all he wears lol

So ya, do it for yourself! Get what YOU want. Maybe he'll get the hint, maybe he won't. But at least you'll have your ring hun.
I am woman, hear me roar!!!

Of course with Christmas coming, it's the perfect time to get one, wrap it, put it either under the tree with your name on the tag from "Santa" or put it in your stocking. Open it right in front of him. And read the tag out loud! "Look what I got from Santa!" hehehe

I think at this point, I'd have to get myself a Bubblegum machine ring. LOL. I *MIGHT* be able to scrape together a few coins. LOL

But great suggestions!

Buffington · Guru

Hey! Whatever works hun *HUGS*

Poppycat · Veteran Member

Hmmmm, quite a few years ago ('cause I'm OLD), I had a girlfriend who had a boyfriend who was not being quite as romantic and thoughtful as she wanted him to be - so we plotted!!

She sent herself a big bunch of flowers signed "I love you!" Then she phoned him up and told him she got the flowers and just knew they were from him. She thanked him so much and told him what a wonderful guy he was, and how much she loved him. Of course he was confused because he knew he hadn't sent them, but he never admitted it. I imagine he wondered who did though, because he suddenly couldn't do enough for her and became quite the Romeo!! She never did admit to who sent the flowers.

Buffington · Guru

Glad it worked for her. Some guys, like mine, just don't get it though. Didn't work for me. But mine were signed "your secret admirer". hehehe
