What age do you think it's okay to have a promise ring with you SO?

Question

I'm 17, dating my boyfriend for two years. Do you think I'm too young to have a promise ring with him? I mean people have kids younger than me.. I don't want anything like that I just want that certain commitment with him!

Answer

I never understood the point of promise rings. Especially as teens. You guys will probably end up changing and meeting someone new. It's very rare to marry your high school sweetheart.

Answer

I think you're too old. I've always seen promise rings as something little kids and preteens do (like with cheap plastic rings). It's like a pinky swear, but in ring form, and I've never met a 17 year old who still does the whole pinky swear thing.

Answer

My husband gave me a promise ring when I was 16 he was 19 we had been together for a year. My parents were not a fan of it until they saw the depth of our relationship. After our relationship servived his basic training, family started realizing there was a special bond between him and I. We got married when I was 18 he was 21. We have since then servived a year deployment and started a family! He is my high school sweetheart. We have been together for 8 years now and going strong. You only live once, do what makes you happy and follow your heart. Age has nothing to do with it I think it's more about how mature you guys are as well as your relationship. Best of luck to you!

I cannot believe what downers some if these "ladies" are being lol. And some so rude too! If it feels right to you its right! Its a sign of a very sweet level of comittment. Its an exciting and important part of your life, I see no reason it can't be treated as such :)

Answer

Answer

I got promise rings with my boyfriend when I was 17 we just got simple white gold matching bands. 8 years later and we are still together engaged with a baby on the way. I don't see anything wrong with it and it's not like you are getting engaged it's just a physical symbol that you two are committed to each other

Answer

I've had 3 promise rings from 3 different guys, all when I was 17, and not a single one lasted. I was also a virgin with all 3 just  so that's clear lol. They mean nothing. It's not a promise of any sort. It's just a piece of jewelry that is a nice gesture.

Answer

It's a nice gesture and i wouldn't recommend something expensive just a simple ring would do.

Answer

I've seen several people my age and around my age (I'm 16) and they usually do promise rings when they've only been with their partner for like a month and then they break up soon after. But with you, I say yes do it because you've been together for 2 years so I say yes it's cute

Answer

I think promise rings are silly and a ring doesn't make any commitment more certain. But I know how you feel, you want something that feels "sealed" but honestly the only way to get that is by living it. Not physical objects that "mean" something.
