My girlfiend and I went to a pawn shop the other day to look at CD's. When we got there, instead of going over to the CD's, she went right to the case with the wedding bands. We've been going out for 7 months and we don't have any plans to get married. We have joked around about it a few times but all in fun. She even says that I'm a lot more involved than her in our relationship. She even told me her ring size after we left the store. Does this mean anything or am I reading this all wrong?

She is totally hinting that she is ready for you to propose. Be prepared for her to ask you about getting married. Know what your answer will be and BE HONEST. I know you probably like her enough to stay with her if you've been going out for 7 months. You probably don't want to hurt her, but don't lead her on. Even if your answer is "I'm not ready to get married yet, but I'm not going anywhere." Qualify anything you say with some reassurance that you have good intentions. Don't joke about it. It may sound like she is joking, but she is testing you and she is DEAD SERIOUS. You have pretty good intuition. It is time for you to decide what you want.

OH yeah she was hinting in a major way. Dont let her do that again until your ready. If you find yourself in that situation again, peer over the earrings and tell her to pick a pair out...that will steer her away from the rings but wont make her mad. 7 months is too soon for most people. Christmas is coming up in a few months (the present buying time), if you havent decided that she is the one at that point, then you may have to tell her that your not ready. The "your not ready" conversation shouldnt even be happening right now.

She was hinting, just in case you wanted to surprise her.
You read it correctly.
DO NOT buy her a ring and get engaged. Especially when a "pressure tactic" like that is used. You only have been dating for 7 months. If you were to do that, you would be filing for divorce before the wedding bills were paid off.
Engagement for you should be WAY off in the future.
Do not get engaged unless you truely feel like you want to spend the rest of you life with a person.
You also need to learn about a person's beliefs and opinions on life. How do they handle money and their debts? Views on kids,parenting, family, friends, money. These are very important questions. And they need to be answered before putting a ring on someone's finger.
Good luck.

We females are good at dropping hints and that was a pretty big hint, mostly because she gave you her ring size. Just be sure to be honest with her if you are not ready for that kind of a commitment. Maybe there is a subtle way you could find out. She could get really hurt if she is expecting an engagement, but doesn't get it.

I think that was a huge hint! You two need to talk about it more seriously on how you both feel the relationship is and may go on. For ex: are you looking for a long term relationship, commitment or are you just hanging out?

first of all... when she says the you are way into the relationship more than her.. she is lying... she wants to see how in it you are and she is just saying that so you dont really know.. but her b-line to the ring section is a big hint...you should run..she will always want that rings.. first just a ring ring.. then a ring with meaning.. then an engagement ring...if she wants jewlery.. get her a nice braclet.

I do it all the time. Doubt it was a hint. Just an FYI. I look at rings because they are beautiful and it gives me ideas when I want to get married. dont stress.

You're definitely reading it right. After only 7 months though, I wouldn't be jumping, especially with her making statements about commitment like she has. Good luck!

I think that was a hint -- 7 months may seem to soon, but it may not be for some people. Just be sure that she isn't pushing it.
