typically you go for an engagement ring. you should start there.

A ring is definitely in order if you are proposing. If you are going to propose just because of great chemistry 8 months is not long enough to be sure the chemistry will last so make it a long engagement. I wish you and she many long years of high voltage chemistry. I have been married to my husband for 20 years. It started with just chemistry but after 20 years it is still a lot about chemistry . Just can't beat those pheromones.

lol. wow you sound like u are a very caring, loving boyfriend. kudos to you! this is exactly what a man should do..which is research, and learn what it would be to find nice things for his woman. i'm sure no matter WHAT u buy, she will appreciate it. and if she doesn't...well dont give her that ring! ;P!!!! it goes both ways... but most likely she will appreciate anything u get her, so here are my suggestions!
Ring, obviously for Engagement purposes
necklace (u can never have too many necklaces, and u can find good price for pretty ones)
bracelets are nice too (either simple one, i wear a silver one from Tiffany's 24/7, even in the shower! or more elaborate ones for special occasions)
earrings are nice too, like chandelier, or plain simple diamond ones
anklets are less popular, not everyone wears them
good luck! remember, to a good woman, any gift is priceless, regardless of the actual price. especially u have to remember that your taste may not be her taste..but the thought really does count!!! make sure u pay attention to hints that she may make while going shopping together.. women ALWAYS hint in hopes that her man will say, "oh u want that? i'll get it for you!" or even surprise them later with it... so far my boyfriend has NEVER done that..even w/ a hat that was $25!!!
so i appreciate your efforts! good for you!! :D

Awwww...how sweet are you!!! OK I suggest you arrange for her to go to a day salon and get her nails, hair and feet done that way you get her out of the room for a while, have her bring some clothes that she can change into with her appropriate for dinner, that will give you time to get the room ready, spread rose petals on the bed, make a basket with massage oils and heating lotions and put it on the bed, purchase a very sexy but classy nighty and include it in the basket. Slice strawberries and leave them in a nice bowl by the bedside, leave a bottle of champagne chilling and if you can get one of those fondue fountains they are very inexpensive but sexy. Put candles in different places around the room. Take her to dinner and after dinner take a walk on the beach, I suggest you propose to her with a diamond ring under the moonlight. Then take her back to the room and light the candles and get creative. I promise you she will never forget the day she got engaged. Good luck!!!

The old fashion way is the best way. If you are going to propose to her make it a night that she will never forget. Be romantic let it be her night even though it involves you also. If you want to be more adventurous propose to her in public with strangers as witnesses. let her know that no matter what you are serious about this and it doesn't matter who knows, you are going outside your comfort zone to give her a moment she will never forget and will remember every detail - Good luck -
PS, - I proposed on one knee in a candle light restaurant a room full of well dressed people we didn't know and a piano bar in the back ground. When she said yes people started clapping and cheering

Firstly, I would like to ay I didn't like your wording about "she is your woman," but you sound like you need some help on this one, so here it goes.
Do not buy her anything other than a ring. Unless she has otherwise mentioned something. Ask yourself, does she like yellow gold, or white gold. The answer to that question will narrow down your playing feild significantly.
Second, ask yourself if she likes bold, simple, classy, or extravagant.
Third, does she have a favorite stone that you can incorporate into the ring...sapphire, ruby, aqua-marine (what is her birthstone?)
Once you have answered these questions go with the answers and find the ring that you think suites her best. You can also consult her best friend, they always know the nitty-gritty details.
As for proposing, I can't help you there, other than it needs to be from the heart, and sweet. She will love it. And say yes.

OK... have you only been dating for 8 months? And you are sure that shethe "the one". If you have already bought her a necklace or a bracelet ....then go for it...buy her a ring...but dont propose yet...make it a promise ring. Explain to her that you want to be with her for the rest of your life and promise that to her...and she will more than likely promise the same thing. Good Luck Bud!

A nice Platinum ring should do the trick. It doesn't have to be a big rock- actually it should cost about 20% of your yearly income is what I have read because you should have a realistic budget. As for proposing. Ahh it must be unique,different and memorable.How about a fun scavenger hunt with clues and questions to lead her to you in a romantic setting where you can propose.

Are you sure you don't want to wait a while to propose? Is 8 months really enough time to get to know someone? Have you two talked about marriage? Marriage is alot more then just being in love. But anyways, if you want to propose you need to buy a ring. Good luck and have a great time on your trip

If you want to propose, I would recommend a ring. One day, you could send her off shopping, or to the beach. Then, while she's gone, decorate the room (or house, wherever you're staying) with rose petals. Have a table with wine glasses, a fancy dinner, candles, mood lighting...make it really romantic. When she walks in the door, have her follow the trail of rose petals to a room where you are waiting, standing by the table, in your best outfit-not necessarily a suit, but something snazzy! When she asks why you did it, tell her how much you love her, and speak from the heart. Drop to one knee, and propose! Best of luck to you!!!

my answer would be the ring man on the sunset beach a little fire and a nice glass of wine if not roses and a small diner nothin to big and go with your heart becase she justed loves you for bing you and she fell in love with that not the ring or anything like that and go with the flow and take it from there and good luck and remeber she the lucky one ok
