Instead of making this an engagment ring, make it a promise ring. A promise that one day after you both have graduated from high school and have either started college or have graduated from college you will both get married. Then by that time, you may have saved enough money to buy her the real ring you want to give her. This would be a better plan.

kid... you need to become an adult before you start making these life changing decisions. Think about this..you want to make a decision that will last for the rest of your life... the public, your family and the government doesn't even trust you to sign up for the military ...and thats only a 4 year hitch. Why on earth would you limit yourself to someone so young? seriously....think about this one thought. THERE ARE 3 BILLION (or more) girls out there. You seem to think you found Mrs. right? What are the odds that you found the right person for you....by age 16? I'm betting without leaving your school, or your city. Kid... I'm 24 I've dated tons of women (all of them I've loved), and NONE of them could have me commit my entire life to them. When i find the one...which I'm sure I have quite a while until i find the right one.
ADVICE: You can love whoever you want... but be smart. Dont force yourself to propose to this girl for quite a while longer. If you disregard this advice, then I have a feeling this decision has more to do with self esteem and wanting to trap her. I've seen guys who proposed early, because they thought the girl would leave them if they didn't... HOW REDICULOUS!
Just take your time kiddo. This isn't a race. The prize is the same regardless where you finish... its happiness.
P.S. I just read the girls idea above me... yeah..she's got the right idea... a PROMISE RING! there.... much better. MY vote for best answer!

I agree that you are pretty young... but the thing is, if you wait until after you graduate and until after you get a job and until after you get enough money and wait and wait and wait, you'll be dead.
Just because you get engaged right now doesn't mean you're getting married in a year! Get engaged if you love her!!
Sad story... my friends met and started being friends in grade 2!! Isn't that crazy!! They were always always close, but didn't start actually dating until grade 10. Then, they got married 1 year after highschool. Then, 2 years after highschool they had twin boys. 10 weeks after their sons were born, he died in a tragic accident. It was horrible and very, very sad... but someone mentioned how wonderful that they had such a great amount of time of being close. No one was thinking about how 'silly' it was that they got married so young at that point.
Anyway, all that aside. Do I think that is romantic? YES. Do I think it is likely to run smoothly... mayyyybe. Call the radio station first to make sure that they know in advance. Every time I call to make a request, they don't play it for like an hour!!!
Don't worry about the ring, sweetie pie!! She'll love it and if she doesn't, she's no good for you.
Always stay as sweet as you are!!

Here is my advice: you are too young to get married. Is it even legal in your state? I know you are in love and have every intention of marrying her, but why not wait until you are out of school?
Second, don't propose publicly. It should be a private, romantic moment between the two of you. If you are going to propose, do it where you had your first kiss or where you first asked her out. Instead of proposing this weekend, make it a promise ring. Very important display of your love without having to deal with the nay-saying adults (like me ;-) )
Good luck-- either way.

I agree with Mom of girls, I think you should make it a promise ring. 16 is way to young to know for sure that a certain person is indeed the ONE...Good luck though, (whether you chose to make it an engagment or promise proposal) and the idea does sound romantic...how 'bout a poem to go along...and maybe a rose stalk///

best wishes. but why would you want to get married. at sixteen? you are still young. you should Waite until you have a job and finish school. you also should ask her father for her hand in marriage. i think the radio station is a good idea.

Look sweetie I know you love this girl and trust me I believe you but I really don't think you're ready..........If it's meant to be trust me you will get married when you are financially ready, mentally ready, when you're ready period! 95% of high school relationships don't make it past graduation. You should really talk about marriage with this girl and find out where her mind is. PLease think about this first. But if this is something you really are ready for...........just get her a promise ring for now.........save the proposal for when you can give her a real ring to symbolize real love.

It sounds really nice but you are way to young to get married. Give yourself time and meet other people, learn more about life. Life as you get older changes your ideas and thoughts. You need time to let that develop. I got married when I was 16 and it was a very difficult life.

i'm not sure what you recommend by applying your question. curiously you're asking your lady chum to marry you on Friday and you're worried. have you ever 2 noted it. I surely have various regulations approximately marriage: one million) no longer till you're a minimum of 25. 2) no longer till you have been going out for 2 years. 3) no longer till you have ironed out different the main considerable hindrances. 4) no longer till you get perfect guidance and can handle to pay for a place of your own. 5) you are able to love that guy or woman adequate to prefer to be with them in ailment/wellness/richer/poorer. hazard is maximum persons get sicker and poorer! are you able to handle that? in case you slot the above standards, by applying all skill ask her. If no longer, on Thursday, ask her the place she sees your relationship in one twelve months. that permit you to comprehend each and every thing! i think of that 2 human beings could comprehend eachother so properly that that is extremely in basic terms the organic next step. there's no question as to what the respond could be. good success. i'm hoping you ask her and that she says sure.
