It is not the ring that matters when you ask it is the answer she gives you. If all she cares about is the ring then maybe you should not be asking just yet. Good luck all goes well. May God bless your marriage.

The perfect ring is the ring that you can afford without selling your soul to the devil. I love diamonds and if I could have the biggest diamond there is i would take it. but diamonds are not everything, your love is what matters. Do not go above your budget for a ring. Do not try to compete with other men, or have your girlfriend compete with other women regarding ring size and value. When you present the ring to your girlfriend it will be the perfect ring because you chose it out of love and from your heart. It will be the perfect ring because it will symbolize a love that you two share that will never end. You should have a ring when you ask her to marry you. The ring does not have to be so big that you could see it from a space ship. It is the love that makes a ring special, it is the love that gives a ring it's value, not the cost. God bless you and your girlfriend. May you keep God in the midst of you always.

Unless she is a gold-digger a small but classic ring will be fine. It's not so much the ring that matters but the sentiment behind it. So yes you should have a ring but, no it doesn't have to be an uber-expensive 10 carat rock. If she really loves you, the ring isn't going to be that important and you know after you are married and you get established and have great careers you can always replace the small diamond with a nice anniversary band or a bigger rock when you can financially afford to do it.
For me personally, I'd rather have a $200 - $300 engagement ring and put the rest of the money towards a downpayment on a house.
Good luck...I hope she says YES!

I think It is ok, I know people who have done that before, but when you do, just tell her what you jsut said, you want to buy the perfect ring but dont have the money right now.
You will know when the time is right to ask her ring or no ring.
A ring is just a symbol being a circle, going on and on forever non stop.
You can still have that w/o a ring.
I say, GO FOR IT! and do it w/o a ring
If she loves you, she wont care

This is the true test. You say you don't have a lot of money for the ring, but you don't really want to ask w/out one. You answered it yourself. Somehow the person you want to ask has instilled in your brain that you shouldn't ask without one. If she really loves and feels the sames as you do, then the truth will come out when you ask her with a decent, not too fancy ring. She should understand. Just a side note, you can always upgrade in the future (ex: anniversaries). Good Luck!

My suggestion to you is
go to walmart and get a cheap ring
then get some flowers weather you pick them or buy them..
then ask her
its not the price of the ring is the idea that you want ppl to know you and commited and she can show it off to her friends
The perfect ring can come later

I think you should have the ring first, and as for the perfect ring, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on it, it is the thought and the love that counts. She will love the ring no matter what.

If you can't afford a ring (even a small ring) then you don't have any business getting married. Or...if your GF can't tolerate a small ring you might want to re-think your choice over.
You need a plan for your life. If you don't have that then you have no business inviting anyone else to the party. If you ask her to get married then eventually you have kids (trust me it happens all to frequently). Then you have to pay $$$ to raie them. Get you education, your career and then you get your wife.

It is absolutely OK to propose w/ out a ring! Unless your girlfriend is shallow, she'll be looking for a commitment, not an enormous diamond. If you really feel uncomfortable w/ out a ring, by a small ring. I personally think that large diamonds aren't that great!

Yes as long as she loves you and you get it later then GO FOR IT! It also depends how long you have been dating. 1 month = ring 5 months = ring 1 year = no ring LOL
