well, I just went to dinner with my girlfriend the other night and after that we went and walked around the mall.. first it started at dinner when she asked me if there was anything I wanted to talk about and I hesitated for a moment and she proceeded to ask me if it was a conversation to talk about privately and not around a crowd. then we went to the mall and she told me about a birthday idea that she collected glass dragons and then proceeded to say that she likes things that sparkle... my question, based on these comments, is she hinting that she is ready for an engagement ring?
we will have been dating for 2 years in Feb of 2008 and have talked about children and marriage from time to time in the past.. I love her with all my heart and she knows it. I have the ring but she doesn't know yet. and to answer any questions that may arise, we haven't slept together and we haven't kissed, but we have talked about it.
Ladies, please provide your opinion on these hints..

maybe this will help, we are both strongly of the Catholic religion so I respect decisions we make and this has been in her family that they don't really kiss until marriage, but I feel that maybe after the ring comes that the rule will change.. but it has been something we talked about and that is what we have decided for the time being

Oh my goodness! Ya'll haven't kissed?!? That is just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard!!! Omgosh, I love that! I wish I could have done that. I told myself I would, but I didn't. But anyway, she might be hinting at that, and I kinda think she is. And omgosh, you have the ring?! You seem like a really sweet guy, so I wouldn't be surprised if she just really wanted you to ask her to marry you. But yeah, anyway, she might be hinting at that, but you would probably know better than anyone else.

The no sex before marriage I get, but the not having even kissed after two years of dating? Why? That has me wondering what kind of relationship you two really have. In most cultures a little affection being demonstrated wouldn't be frowned upon, as you two were able to go out by yourselves, its not a severely restricted one.
As to whether she's hinting at a ring, I don't know. Maybe she's actually hinting at another crystal dragon instead.

JMO, but she is hinting because I believe she is serious with your relationship, and she is hinting that she likes dragons and things that sparkle could mean sparkly glass objects not necessarily diamonds, but like crystals or something.
If you are planning on marrying her, then that is your own time, and when you feel like it is best to ask her for her hand in marriage.
It sounds like you have a wonderful and trusting relationship, if you are wondering about marriage, then ask her. And if she says that she would like to get married soon, then get ready to present the ring.
If you have not slept together, or kissed then maby you are not ready to get married quite yet.

aah geez u guys are sooooo cute! I wish there were more ppl like you in the world =]
I don't really think she was hinting that but then again I wasn't there and she may have just changed the subject so you wouldn't feel hesitant or awkard. She may know what is up, as most women can read a man like a book (lol) but if YOU feel that it is ready to propose to her then go for it!
Good luck and congratulations in advance!!

I am wondering: #1 - how old you are, #2 -why no kiss yet and #3 - why couldn't she just be hoping for a new glass dragon for her collection?

well if you have been dating for 2 years and haven`t done anything then i would say get out.. if you haven`t even kissed something is wrong.. is there any attraction? there must not be any sexual attraction towards each other.....so why an engagement ring? think of it this way... do you go to the store and buy shoes without trying them on first?

yeah, she's hinting, not very good at it, hey kiss her already, she started telling you about the dragons so the rest would just flow. OMG I still can't get over the no kissing......If you already have the ring, you have the intentions, just give it to her...

It sounds like she is wanting something more out of the relationship. Ask her to marry you but don't be hurt is she says that she needs more time. I think it is great that you haven't slept together yet but a little kiss wouldn't hurt anything.

You need to kiss before you pop the question. If the kiss isn't good the sex won't be good either. Don't commit to something without even having gotten a kiss.

wow. no kissing? that's something i've never heard before, but it shows that you two are in tune to the things that really matter. so what are you waiting for? make sure you're ready and esp. that she's ready. are you guys stable enough? i think proposing on her bday might be a bit corny, but that's just me. good luck
