If I'm going to propose, should I buy a ring or wait and let her pick out one she likes?

Answer 1

so sweet! buy her the ring! we gals will b dead happy by juz seein it.trust me...make sure u get the right size ok! Good luck n all the best!

Answer 2

It definitely depends. I want an antique style ring, so I picked out what I wanted. My boyfriend has all the information on what I want and he will get it when it is time. Many guys buy the ring and then propose, but if you are going to do this, you should either A) find out what kind of cut and style she likes or B) take her best friend along. Chances are her best friend (or mom) knows what she likes

Answer 3

Hard one - I'd prefer to be proposed to with a ring. Maybe you could get a ring on loan and let her know (after the fact) that she can either take that ring, or exchange it in - that you got it on loan for that purpose since she'll be wearing it for the rest of her life and you want her to love it. That would show both forethought and thoughtfulness. Good luck. Even better - tell her you both have a date with the jeweler to make sure she is as happy as possible with her ring... (that may be dangerous to your pocket book, of course :-)

Answer 4

Have a ring before you ask. You can always ask her mom or her girlfriends what type of ring they think she'll like. More than likely, she's mentioned it to them before at some point. Do not ask her without a ring of you have the money for the ring. I would think it would be a bit disappointing. Not to be shallow or anything.

Answer 5

Unless you are positive, without a single bit of doubt, that she willl like what you pick out, let her do it.
Call ahead to the jeweler & have him pull all the rings in your price range. She'll have a blast with the two of you picking out the ring.

I only advise this because of the number of questions I get from ladies wondering how to tell their guy they don't like the ring & not hurt his feelings. (can't be done)
This is a ring she'll wear & treasure the rest of her life. She should like it.

Answer 6

Dear Captain Jack,

I do not think for proposing you need a ring. Ring is required for engagement and wedding. I do not like to dishearten you, but it is likely that she may refuse. Of course, on her birthday or so (after the proposal and her acceptance), you can buy the ring and gift her.

Answer 7

Go out together and pick out the rings. Best regards on your engagement. Have fun making the decision, too.

Answer 8

i would do it tradionally go and buy a ring set. when u propose give her the engagement ring. then when u get married give her the rings that go with it. that is why my big bro did. it was pritty. my dad gave it to him. it was a big diamond in the middle(girls love anysize but me personally i like one i can see. 22k i think i have.) and two rings that kind of latched them together. if i had a picture or a drawing i would show u. buy just a diamond ring if that is all you want. but i would buy the ring and give it to her. surprise is alway good. my hubby surprised me. i love it.

Answer 9

that is so old hat. propose dont need ring. but you do need to set the right climatic conditions and generally surprise her in a nice way.

when you buy engagement ring after she accept, of course she will be the one to pick it out. you just need to show your visa to the salesperson

Answer 10

thats a hard one cause she might not like the one you pick but if you propose without a ring she wont like that very much. take her best friend with you she'll know. congratulations man

Answer 11

I'd say it depends on the kind of girl she is. Is she the sort that is into the whole traditional image of love, and would be disappointed if you weren't down on your knee with a ring? Or does she generally prefer to choose things for herself, and not care so much about that image. You know her best.
