Simply tell him: "All I want for Christmas - is YOU"
If that's not enough of a hint, then he's not quite ready to propose.
FWIW, that's what I said last year at Christmas. I got a ring for Christmas and we were married this August.

I would let the ring be a surprise. Have fun looking at rings together, and let him choose of he wants to get it for Christmas. He might want to save up, and if he thinks you are expecting it for Christmas, buy something less than he planned.
However, you can suggest that he get you something small for Christmas and out the money towards your future engagement ring.

Do you really want to know when he is going to propose to you? That takes all of the fun out of it. I would say do not ask for a ring. If you both have talked about getting married, he will do it when he thinks the time is right. I know it is hard for us women to wait sometimes, but it is so worth it when we do. Best of luck!

To add details to a question, you don't have to ask another question. Just scroll over the little pencil icon, and there's a link that says "Add details".
You don't tell him you want a ring, period. If the two of you really have been talking about it and it's a mutal decision, he'll get a ring without being told.

I wouldn't. You've discussed it. He knows you are open to the idea and ready for engagement. When he asks what you want say something like "You know me so well honey, suprise me."
If HE is ready you will get the ring soon, otherwise you need to be patient and wait. Sure you can drop constant hints and put pressure but then he's going to be proposing mostly to get you to stop buggering him....not necessarily because he actually wants to get married now.

You have talked about the idea of marrage so that should be enough. Don't ask him for it, if you do and he gives you the ring then later you won't know if he gave it to you because he just can't live without you or it was just because you asked. Let him do this in his own time. Be patient and don't push or you will both regrett it.

Same situation... he asked ME what I wanted... I got catalogs from all the local jewelry stores and circled all the engagement rings that I liked. Honestly he thought it was cute and told me that now he had an idea what to get me. Good luck!

If you've got to ask the question you probably shouldn't be doing it. If this is the first time you've spoken about marriage then I won't but if it the first time and he's said he want to get married within the next 2 years then go for it.

first off.....CHILL OUT!!! you sound like every other young girl who's just up and ready to jump into a marriage. I've talked about a future with my girlfriend. we've been together 1-1/2 yrs, marriage has come up yes.....but flat out ASKING for the ring is the most selfish thing you could do....you're damn near forcing him to....if you truely love him and want to be with him, be patient. and NO you DO NOT tell him you want a ring for x-mas.

IMO you don't ask for an engagement ring for Christmas.
You let him ask when he WANTS to ask.
If he asks what you want, just say something romantic. "All I need is you"... or whatever is on your Christmas list.
