how do i tell my boyfriend to give me a engagement ring?

Question

how do i tell my boyfriend about the engagement thing... best environment, timing, words???

Answer 1

u can start by hinting around it casually, but not being too intense or threatening. "accidentally" stroll into a jewelry store next time u are in the mall together, and drift over to the engagement ring section. he will get the idea, and u can see how he reacts, and find out about how he feels about this. just an idea...

Answer 2

Why not? You indicated what you didn't want. He then asked what you did want. And I'd wager he heaved a proverbial sigh of relief when he had a clear indication from you - what you wanted -- before making such a huge investment!! As someone already said -- it's something you're going to wear for a long time -- so it's better to have something you like. How did he take it when you told him?? If he was positive -- then be happy and don't worry about it any further. And recognise that by being able to communicate honestly and openly with each other - at this early stage - you already have the makings of a good relationship!! Good luck!

Answer 3

Well demanding and telling him that you want an engagement ring isn't a good idea. The best idea is to find out his viewpoints when it come to marriage and intentions and plans for the relationships future. And goodluck.

Answer 4

Next time you go shopping together, linger at all the jewellry counters and look longingly at all the engagement rings. Sigh a lot and show him your bare finger. Oh and keep saying you can tell me what to do when you put a ring on this finger! Guaranteed you'll never see him again..... Enjoy your freedom girl!!!!

Answer 5

You don't! An engagement ring comes from his heart and his wallet! He will come to you when HE is ready. Don't force an engagement. That is the worse thing you could ever do. And he may resent you for it later.

Answer 6

You cant get a man to give you a ring. They will give it to you when they are ready. If you are really seeking to get married, maybe you should sit down with him and talk over what you expect/want out of your relationship and see if you are both on the same page. If you force the subject, he will run. Maybe subtle hints on what you want would be a good idea.

Now, if you want to ask him, I say go for it.

Answer 7

Tell him about other couples that you know and how they got engaged. That will get his wheels turning and give him some ideas. If you mention how so and so got engaged ... and it was so cute and romantic.... he'll get the hint (hopefully). And besides you want to be surprised and not plan everything yourself!

Answer 8

If he's not ready to get engaged, it's a very bad idea to force him. Instead of "telling" him to give you a ring, sit down at a quiet dinner out and discuss it. If you think you will get emotional, then do it at one of your homes (preferably yours), or at whichever house allows you more privacy.

Answer 9

May be you can take him shopping to a mall, and then stop by the jewelary section and stare at the most prettiest ring for some time, and when he says what you doing . Tell him just wishing this star was mine ,so when you giving me this star lol.......
Anyways alll the best..

Answer 10

Do you really want to marry someone that you basically have to force/bribe/finagle/guilt into asking you to marry him????? Let him do it the way he wants to do it, when he's ready to do it. If that's not good enough for you, then maybe you need to reconsider if he's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. And maybe he needs to reconsider if you're the one HE wants to spend the rest of his life with. Marriage is a HUGE decision, it's not about getting a pretty diamond ring that you can flash in front of your friends. Sounds like you may need to do a bit of growing up before you're even ready for marriage, if a ring is that important to you. Best of luck to you.
