Meaningful
I've been with my boyfriend for over two years. He gave me a ring after a year of dating and he spent a fortune on it! That's not the important part, but if someone is willing to intrust a ring to you then you know you're worth the world to them. Guys don't spend $400 on just anyone.

Hmm...
Well, if you're serious about the relationship, then go for it! Let's say you want to get engaged one day, but your parents would blow up at you if you got engaged when you were 15 or 16-you get a promise ring. If you're not serious, though, don't do it. I'm tired of the young couples (here, I'm talking about 13 year olds) saying that they love each other, because that's what you're "supposed to say", when they don't really mean it. It's the same thing with promise rings- don't give 'em if you don't mean it.

If it has meaning thats great
Speaking for myself I think a promise ring is great....but that's if it has meaning. My boyfriend bought me a promise ring 2 years ago for christmas when I was 18 and I love it. I think its just a symbolic way of saying "I promise to love you with all that I can and I promise to be faithful only to you" So yeah there a good thing as long as they have meaning but if you're just wearing one to be like "oh i got this from my boyfriend, cool huh?" then that's stupid.

They're Cute..
I think that promise rings are really cool... I mean if you've been with someone for more than... Maybe 7 months than yeah.. Look into a promise ring. But also keep in mind that promise rings, are in fact, a promise. And only responsible, commited individuals are mature enough to handle that kind of promise. If you really deeply in your heart believe that you and him will be together for a while than a promise ring is the right thing for you. But just don't get one because it's a ring and you want to show off... Because its only important if it means something.

Promise Ring
My parents gave me a promise ring to promise not to have sex until I get married. I'm totally keeping to that promise b/c I want to loose my virginity to someone special and I know that they love me.
--Posted by taffiechick



Awwwwwwwwww
I think it would be so sweet but if my parents saw that they would kill me but other than that I think it's sweet
--Posted by yazzknowsall



The best
Promise rings are great if u are in love and u are old enough to understand them. I am only 15 and my boyfriend is 20 and he gave me a promise ring and i thought about it along time before i accepted it cuz i didn't want to get into something i wasn't ready for. See if u do that and u kno what a promise ring really means then it is fine but if u are young then they don't really work someone will just get hurt. Promise rings are great and my promise ring is more then wonderful.

DEPENDS
The few people i know that have them...are in highschool, and i think thats toatally rediculous, b/c i hate to say but its really hard to tell how your life is gonna go when you are that young. And beleive it or not i myelf have a b/f and i would REALLY like to marry him but i am not gonna attach myself to an idea that i dont even know about, it really just depends on what is gods plan.

Oh Please
Getting promise rings in high school is SO stupid. Come on, you're young, naive, and in a relationship, so you think the best thing to do is get a ring promising that you'll be together forever or some crap like that? I know plenty of guys who gave their girlfriends promise rings and was cheating on them behind their backs. And what's the point of promising to be with someone forever while you're still so young, ESPICALLY high school kids! We all know how THOSE relationships usually turn out.

promises can be broken

yuck
ew a PROMISE ring? No offense but they kind of freak me out. Thats just me.
--Posted by hawthorne14




Depends
A guy can't just give you a promise ring because it felt like the time was right. CUz thats what happened to me and he cheated on me not even a month later. So if its from someone who acutally cares about it its great. But if its from a guy who tryin to make you feel better or because the time felt right or hes trying to gain you back its bullshit. A ring dont make anything better
--Posted by melika_182




Okay?
Promise rings become of sentimental value. They become more than a ring with meaning attached to it. When you guys break up, u can pawn the ring (if it's expensive, highly doubt that), or throw it at him and say the cheap ring is a piece of s***. haha. I threw mine in his toilet after I peed and left it there for him to see without flushing. Should've did #2. haha. But don't get him anything. A waste of money. U think you know someone but you really have no idea.

Awww or Awww Man?!!
When you're still with the person, It's kind of like a wedding ring, it's a very personal and sentimental band of love around your finger to remind you of your sweetie all day. But what happens if you break up? Believe me, it gives you WAY more trouble than you could ever ask for. Looking at it gives you soo many painful memories that you just DON'T WANT. Then the ring loses it's "Magical Powers" Then it's just not special anymore, and it's hard to deal with.

TO: prettyinpink
I went out with my boyfriend for 7months and it obviously didn't mean a thing to HIM. I was in way over my heels. And now my ring is nothing but trouble. He cheated on me. He's a controlling f*** head! It's not worth it! Unless BOTH of you are in it 120%, than there is absolutely NO reason to have one
--Posted by mistieyedreamer




I got one from my boyfriend on my birthday & its really nice I wear it but I cant say I'm really in to it dont git me wrong I am in love with him & I do want to be with him but I just sometimes feel like he anit really loving me like he's just doing it to do it you know
--Posted by sweetscrappy




piss me off
no offence but a promise ring sounds like the stupidest thing in the world i might dig it if it had a different name but otherwise it just sound stupid
--Posted by natalie222




so stupid!!
I think promise rings are so stupid! They are so damn corny. I agree with bernag2006, people our age can't even tell if they're in love or not. Good way to get in a girl's pants though...and I guess it's better than getting married at 16 or 17.

rings pfft rings!? thats worse than pet names corny
--Posted by nativebohochick



promise rings are for suckers
them rings don't mean nothing they just used to make you stay faithful why he doing whatever
--Posted by mariahj




I HATE them
First off I think they're retarded. You canNOT promise to be with somebody forever. If you're gonna be in that serious of a relationship get an engagement ring and that stuff.
