Not Engaged Yet

How can I figure out if my BF is looking for an engagement ring?

Ok so, My boyfriend and I are talking about getting married some time next year or so. I really want to get my ring now haha. I want to say something but i don't
want to sound to pushy or creepy about it.
 Does any one know of some good ways
to kinda hint around about getting engaged soon? or find out if he is looking for rings already? 

Thanks,

    I'll be honest, it's best not to hint. Guys will propose when they're good and ready and most of the time what we consider "a subtle hint" will make them run for the hills and postpone the engagement even longer. Most of the guys I know take a lot of effort in planning their proposals and deciding when to do it. I would just let him go at his own pace.

    As far as whether or not he's looking for a ring... that's a tough call. I guess it would depend on how good he has at keeping a secret. My FI is HORRIBLE at it, although he tries. I knew he bought the ring because before heading a few hours south to visit his parents he told me he was going to take my right hand ring finger ring and get it shined for me (it's like a $50 ring, nothing fantastic) and my left hand pointer finger ring to get it sized for another finger (this is about an $11 ring). I thought it was odd but I kind of got the hint and just went along with it. Proposal came about a month later. I've heard of other girls checking internet searches and such but, honestly, I wouldn't reccommend it. The less you know the bigger the suprise!!!!

    You need to have an adult conversation with him about a timeline. How long you both want to be engaged before the wedding, when you would like to have the wedding (time of year, etc), and what your plans are for marriage (handling finances, children, pets, etc).

    You do NOT need to figure out if he's shopping for a ring. That is one of the best and most special surprises of your life. Why would you want to spoil it?

    I had many candid talks with my FI about what types of rings I liked. He still got me something that was a surprise, and totally beautiful.

    You need to find out if he wants you to be involved in the ring shopping, or if he wants it to be a complete surprise. Then go from there. But please don't snoop around and try to figure him out. That's just not right. Just ask him what you want to know.

    The very foundation of a healthy, happy relationship is open and honest communication.

    I know you have talked about getting married next year but there is a difference between talking about it and actually deciding that is whats right for you. Like Jeana said, you should have an adult conversation about your time line. Also as Jeana said, why would want to know when he buys the ring? Unless you mutually decided you didn't want a suprise, it's not that important for you to know, he will do it when he wants to and pushing him isn't going to make it any quicker. It could have to do with many factors, how old are you? are you in school? do you have stable jobs?  Are you on the same page?

    If it's really important to you then as the other ladies have stated you need to have a serious talk otherwise just wait.  I can't even tell you how my fiance and I became engaged, there was no formal proposal we've been together since we met "litterally", we have been like magnets since day one so it just seemed the natural thing for us to get married but I don't like surprises so I chose my own ring.

    I am a person that always needs to know what is going on with everything around me. I don't like surprises at al, but it means a lot to my boyfriend to make the proposal a surprise. Hinting about it and thinking about it all the time will make it worse for you(note: this does not happen for everyone, but if you are like me and feel the need to know everything, hinting and such will just make it worse, especially if your BF doesn't notice the hints). Just enjoy your relationship and he will propose when he is ready.
    What things have you and your BF discussed? Are you in school?  Do you have a job? What about your BF?How long have you two been together?

    You are both young so I wouldn't really stress about it. He will propose when he is ready to propose and you shouldn't pressure him. Married at 18 and 20 may sound like fun but my BF's parents did that and it really just sounds miserable. How long have you been together? Are either of you in school? What jobs do you have? Are you willing to sacrifice dreams you may have? Have you talked about finances? Children? There are a lot of things that need to be discussed before marriage and I am a big believer in discussing all of those things before getting engaged.

    But anyways to answer the original question, don't hint or pressure him. You have plenty of time to get married. Enjoy your relationship as it is right now.

    Age doesn't have everything to do with it; it depends on the people. But yes, 18 is rather young (not that I don't get where you're coming from -- I'm 20 and my boyfriend is going on 21). And the PPs have made great points - what are you doing about school and jobs and all that good stuff?

    Age has a TON to do with it. 
  • edited December 2011
    Ok, I know telling you that you're too young to get married will probably only offend you. So I will say this, if you and  your boyfriend choose to get engaged, make it a long engagement. I don't know how long you've known each other or been together, but I've seen couples that have been together for 8 yrs, as bf/gf, get engaged and within 6 months the relationship is over. My sister was with a guy for 6 yrs, got engaged, married, had a baby and 2 yrs into her marriage it crumbled. I guess what I'm really trying to say is, I think how long  you've been with him is pretty irrelevant, because once a commitment like engagement and marriage is underway, it can change a lot in your relationship. What's the rush to get married anyway? You are so young and trust me, 7 yrs from now, when you're 25, chances are you won't be the same person you are today. There's so much of life that you're going to experience between now and then. I got married young without much thought to it, it didn't work out, and I know a huge part of that was because of how young we were. I would highly recommend slowing down and enjoying  your relationship for what it is right now. It's ok to dream of the future, but they don't say "patience is a virtue" for no reason.

    I agree 100%. I got married when I was barely 20, and, not to toot my own horn, but I was quite mature for 20. I took care of myself, financially independent and had moved to Chicago on my own without having family here or any friends,, and I was making it just fine. I met a guy, we "fell in love", one thing led to another and before I knew it I was married and thinking to myself...what JUST happened to me? The fire died almost instantly. Instead of an annulment or a divorce right away, I chose to stick it out. I'm a firm believer in "You made your bed, now you lay in it". For years we tried just about everything to make it work, tried to find reasons of why it wasn't working..and we always came to the same conclusion...we were too young, we knew too little about each other and we weren't prepared for that life change. I'm a different person now to what I was 6 yrs ago. Had I known then what I know now....that's all I'm going to say.

    I said age doesn't EVERYTHING to do with it, not ANYTHING. I'm 20 and I've been with my boyfriend for almost four years. We know that we want to get married, and are making plans to get engaged (although my boyfriend won't be able to get me my "dream ring" for another two years). I plan on graduating college in the spring of 2012, and my boyfriend will graduate the spring after (he switched schools and his credits didn't transfer, meaning he has to go an extra year). With that in mind, I definitely do not want to get married before 2014. We both need to graduate and secure jobs. I don't see anything wrong with a "long" engagement, or even a short one. Every couple is different. My parents met in September, got engaged at the end of January, and were married by the end of August. They will be married 30 years this summer.

    This just screams of I need something super sparkly to show off instead of focusing on what should matter - the relationship and possible marriage.

    My dream ring was whatever FI wanted to get me because all I cared about was being with him not what was on my finger. Age does have a alot to do with it , taking it from someone who thought at 20 she knew everything and had a "plan" too , things change , life events happen , etc. If you know you will be together then there is no rush to get engaged or married. Long engagements are fine but 4 years is more than long..SO much can and will change between then and now , so why not stop caring about the ring and the wedding and focus on what you both need to now - school , work/jobs , and the relationship you are both in.

    Yes I did read you have ben together 4 years but also that means you started dating when you were a teenager. This isn't meant to offend anyone but I just think maybe you both need to grow some more before you even think of getting engaged. Stop thinking about it now and save yourself alot of stress.

    My BF and I are young too, but I agree with the other posters that age has A LOT to do with marriage. My BF's parents got married at 18/20 and honestly even though they are still together they don't really seem to like each other and they will tell anyone that they went through hell (they were living off food stamps in some crappy student housing) at the beginning of their marriage because of how young they got married. If you are with someone you love there is no reason you can't wait (we are waiting 4 years). You do change a lot as you get older and in your early 20s.

    Whatever your parents did may have worked for them but that was a different time and I sure as hell would not recommend doing that to anyone today. And BF and I used to think a long engagement was a good idea until we saw our friends do a two year engagement and now we definitely won't be doing that. We both decided we should get engaged when we are <span style="font-weight:bold;">ready</span> to get married, not get engaged because we know we <span style="font-weight:bold;">want</span> to get married.

    PPs were just giving the OP (and possibly you too) some good advice, no need to get offended by it. The beauty of these boards is that you get so many different perspectives from people who can see a situation differently than you.

    What I am offended by is the fact that everyone seems so damn self-righteous here and ready to pass judgement. "Oh, I don't care about the ring," "Oh, whatever FI gave me I loved because I love him." What's so wrong with wanting a nice ring? I told my boyfriend he could buy me a CZ now, but he refused. He WANTS to get me my "dream ring." So what's it to anyone here? If you're happy with your ring, then be happy with it. No one is taking that away from you - don't take away my ring or my relationship. Just because we started dating when we were teenagers does not make the relationship invalid.

    WTF? No one said you're relationship was invalid here. This post comes off as all high-and-mighty and we're just uppity bitches because we focus more on our relationships than with an unnecessary piece of jewelry and encourage others to do the same.

    Oh and how are we taking away your ring and relationship?  That just confuses me.

    Nothing is wrong with wanting a nice ring but dwelling on a specific ring makes a person seem extremely materialistic.

    I'm pretty sure I don't have the ability to take away your relationship. That would make me pretty powerful. Also, when did anyone say that your relationship is invalid if you have been dating since you were teenagers?

    No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.  I believe someone famous said that.  Oh wait, yes.  It was Eleanor Roosevelt.  Pretty smart lady.

    So I guess that your BF loves you more because he wants to buy you a nicer ring? 

    I will pass judgement whenever I feel like it.  I judge you for having a stupid screenname.  I judge you for being young and seriously thinking about marriage right now.  I judge you for not dating more before thinking you've found the one.  I judge you for mentioning how much the ring you want costs.  Oh, look at me.  Judging you.  Oh, look at how it doesn't f-ing matter. 

    P.S. My DH bought me a darn, fancy, smancy ring.  And he didn't have to wait 2 years to do so.  BECAUSE he was 30 years old and had a stable job (and a large savings) when he proposed.

    Whoop-de-freaking-doo, your husband was 30 when he proposed. Good for you! And yes, I know that Eleanor Roosevelt said that quote. You know what else was smart? The theme song of "Diff'rent Strokes": The world doesn't move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for you, may not be right for some.

    I'm SO glad you got your fancy schmancy ring your husband's large savings. Does that mean he loves you MORE? How about I judge you for bringing up the fact that he had a LARGE savings? Why not just a SAVINGS?

    I'm judging you for being married and pregnant and on the Not Yet Engaged board. JUDGING.

    A lot of us have 'sparkly' rings and you know why? Because we had a stable income that allowed us to be able to do so without putting ourselves in debt. You judge us for already having our pretty rings and then yell at us for judging you because you're young.

    Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, we've been where you were at one point in our lives and are speaking from experience? *gasp*

    [QUOTE]Whoop-de-freaking-doo, your husband was 30 when he proposed. Good for you! And yes, I know that Eleanor Roosevelt said that quote. You know what else was smart? The theme song of "Diff'rent Strokes": The world doesn't move to the beat of just one drum, what might be right for you, may not be right for some. I'm SO glad you got your fancy schmancy ring your husband's large savings. Does that mean he loves you MORE? How about I judge you for bringing up the fact that he had a LARGE savings? Why not just a SAVINGS? I'm judging you for being married and pregnant and on the Not Yet Engaged board. JUDGING.
