how would you ladies respond to

bheartsb

how should/would you respond to someone telling you your e-ring is 'cute'?

prideeinpynk

"Thanks"?

pirategal03

"Thank you"

Nebb

I would say thanks and not ask the knot what they thought afterwards.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I'd rather have a "cute" ring than an "oh.  well... that's interesting" ring.

ExpatPumpkin

I'd just say thanks.  What else can you do?  If you respond rudely the person's just going to play innocent...

prideeinpynk

My FI thinks you should scream "F YOU" and slap em.

ohwhynot

"Thank you; I love it!" 

stephl3055

I think the real question is, what did you say when someone asked you this? 

bheartsb

one of the girls just got engged at work + was showing of her ring...small, but it's hers so...

1 of the girls (not engaged or even dating) barely looked at it + said 'aww..how cute'...the silence was deafening.

I lik the F U idea

Rosie109

why can't you type out "and"?

just happened to one of the girls in the office, and she barely squeezed out a thank you.  But the silence follwoing her exit was awkward.

Why can't 'cute' just mean 'cute?'

waiting for a new keyboard...the a button sticks...sorry

luckyme502

Thank you, I think it is pretty awesome! 

Jelenny

hey my fi's mom said "oh cute" and my mom said "pretty"

i think the fi was looking for a bigger reaction - i love it and i don't care what people say...

was the coworker maybe jealous or annoyed with the gushing of attention (i work in an office and tried being low key, but two of my other coworkers took it upon themselves to make a big deal out of it)

Poor girl.

I mean if someone's going to say it THAT way, that's just kinda condescending. 

Personally, I'd rather have a teeny tiny genuine diamond in a "cute" setting than a gaudy and huge fake thing that looks real.

I'm leaning towards this.  Especially since we we're all just hanging out in the main office after a meeting (e-ring girl JUST got engaged over the w/e) so a lot of people are just getting wind of it. 

bheartsb

I feel bad for her.  Sad, when people try to steal her joy.

yeah....i had a coworker try to rain on my parade since she was trying to get her boyfriend to propose oh for two years?

hopefully your coworker didn't let it get to her....office politics gotta love it

missy68

A temp worker said something similar to mine (it is not a diamond) and followed it with a judgemental "oohh" and I said - I picked it out! She changed her tune after that.

bheartsb

it's one thing to be mean to someone who's being an idiot, but I kinda' felt like that was not necessary.

I did pull Miss.Nasty to the side, and say WTF? her response...'WHAT?  I can BARELY see it.  Little things like that are cute'.  I can't wait to see what she gets!!! (IF she ever does get engaged...1st you need someone to wanna' marry you, and she's been single since I met her...wonder why? lol)

I never understood women being jealous of someone who is engaged or in a relationship.  But then again, I never felt being in a relationship was needed in order to validate yourself.

Posted by AllAboutTheBenjamin[/QUOTE]

that's a new 1, I haven't heard anyone say that.  I guess it's on the same wavelength as cute?

nda_roxybabe

Depends on their tone. I could say "thats so cute!" and really mean it in the best possible way and love the ring.

I'd probably just say "Thanks! I love it!"

bheartsb

I like the replica one!!!

the tone was unamusing to say the least.  Definitely an awkward silence after, not to mention when I called her on it her attitude was completely indifferent.

Are you sure you didnt just get this idea from NPS?
