im not talking about sex in any way or anything..... lol. but, i was looking into promise rings for my gf.... weve been in a serious relationship for about 7 months this next wednesday (i keep dates exact.... sue me, lol) and, i was gonna wait another 6 months to give it to her cause of funds, and to be sure i was ready, cause its like a step below engagement... but, we are both serious, and ive looked into what a promie rings means, and thats what i believe.... but, in your opinion, am i too young? or, is this just one of those things that if your mature enough and understand everything youll be ok?

(sigh) obviously, the first person didnt get the question.... no, i dont want to get married right now.... that a hell of a lot more than a promise ring though. a promise ring means that we are simply giving ourselves to each other, and no one else. like, it just means that i promise to love her forever. its basically like getting engaged, but no, it doesnt mean that were gonna get married.....

oh, and me and her have talked about it. acctually, weve had numerous conversations about it, and were in one right now. we both know what it means, and yeh, 15 is young, but, i dont want to be with anyone else, and neither does she....

If you honestly love her & are commited to her & want to give her a promise ring, then no, you're not to young, just as long as you know what a promise ring is all about.
A promise ring is about saying that you are putting forth your best effort to being commited to this person in promising to always be there to help them along, though the good & the bad & promising not to run when things go a little sour. It's about promising to be mature enough to give this relationship a fair chance.
However, traditionally, promise rings are about just simply promising to only see this person exclusively & commit yourself to a committed relationship w/them.
Hope it all goes well! Best of luck to you, this is so sweet :)

To be completely honest with you.......You are too young. A promise ring, although pretty, means nothing and is a waste of your money. I think it's something the jewelry stores came up with to get people to buy more rings.
You will be going through some major changes in the next few years. All of the couples I knew in high school that thought that they were going to be together forever never even made it to engagement. That's because when you get your independence from your parents it is going to change you quite a bit. You are going to have a lot more freedom than you've ever had before. You are going to want to experiment with new things such as a new job, college, finding a place of your own, having to pay your own way for the first time, etc. All of this is going to affect you as a person. I would make sure that your relationship makes it past graduation before even considering talking about marriage. I know that you think that this is the one for you, if it's truly meant to be then your relationship will stand the test of time.

If i were you, i would really think this through in which you are doing. A promise ring is such a big step. If she already has an idea about it and hasn't acted weird or anything, then go with it. If she doesn't know about it, i would wait a little bit longer. Wait until you aren't asking these questions. It should be a thing that you shoudln't even have tothink about. 15 is pretty young and you shouldn't have to rush anything. At the age you are at now, try and have fun, worry about commitment later.
But, if you really really think this step is needed. Go for it. Just, don't be hesitant you it seems you are now.
Good luck with your relationship

No, 15 is not too young. It has to do with the maturity of your feelings and if you guys have been serious for that long then...
However...7 months isn't really that long. How sure of your feelings are you? The age isn't factoring into it at all but I am wondering about the length of time.
My advice is to wait a bit longer because it is REALLY serious! If you really are that serious then you will be that, or more, serious if you surprise her on your year anniversary!

Personally, if your mature enough I would say go for it, cause you don't have to get married for another 5 or 10 years. Or more. However at least your not getting married. More likely she might change in the next years wait and see.

You don`t need a ring to make a commintment, and even if you have it, a commitment can be easily broken. ( married people get divorced every day. For me its better to do a commitmet by heard really feeling and wanting it . But my advise its to live yor life one day at a time, but the time wou`ll 30 you will realize that is s better to do not hurry things.

well i think that you should talk to your father or mother about this because i have dated a guy for to years and we were serious but it just didn't turn out. but like i said it helps from a parents view you could even ask her parents about it but just believe in yourself and ask god if you r ready for this type of stuff. time out what grade r u in r u going to be a freshman or a sophmore
