Somebody gave me a ring for a birthday gift. Never wore a ring, not sure what finger to wear it on.

The ring finger on your right hand is traditional for anything other than a wedding ring. If it is too small for that (for example, if it is a souvenir of childhood, or was originally a lady's ring), wear it on your pinkie. Similarly, if it is too large (inherited from your father, for example), wear it on your middle finger. Or get it made smaller, if that offends you.

You are "supposed" to wear it on a finger that it fits. Generally the right hand on the ring finger if you wish to follow tradition, but there are no hard and fast rules. I'd avoid the left hand middle finger as many people will think that it means that you are involved or married.

Now days, any finger he wants, I wear 6 rings, my guy wears 4 and he never puts them on the same finger all the time.

Unless you are under the influence of the "chav" look, the only rings a man should wear are a wedding ring and a signet ring. The signet ring should be worn on the little finger (the hand depends on nationality).

Whichever one it fits. The only finger I haven't really seen a guy wear a ring on is the pointer finger. But I think that's just because it's uncomfortable. You can wear it on your thumb too.

There is no finger a man is "supposed" to wear a ring on.

Don't get too hung up on it. Looks good right hand middle finger!
