My and my girlfriend, we are both sixteen, have been together for three years. I do really love her, and I do hope to marry her someday. We have talked about being married, and what it would be like, how many children we would want, what their names would be, where we would live, etc. We both agreed that we would like to be married around age 23 no earlier, because of school. A lot of people in my family think we will end up getting married, and they treat her like a daughter. Should I get her a promise ring? I know she would really like it, because I know her inside and out. What do you think.

When I was 16, my boyfriend gave me a promise ring for our third year anniversary. Now I am 21, and he recently proposed to me. We are waiting to get married though, we also want to get married when we are 23 or 24. My only problem with the promise ring, is that now that I have my engagement ring, I still don't want to take the promise ring off. So right now, I am wearing both, but after we get married I can't wear my promise ring, then engagement ring, then wedding ring. Also sometimes people will bug her about wearing the promise ring. Because in high school people are immature.

When I turned 16, my boyfriend gave me a promise ring. I felt like he was really there for me and loved me with every inch of his being. Your story reminds me of my relationship. I'm now 17 going on 18 and I still plan on getting married in my early 20's. I know that she will probably cherish the ring, and every time she looks at she will think of the bright future she will have with you.

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/l9RIB



Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.



The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.



Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

I think it depends on the girl. For me, it was weird because he said it was a promise to be with me forever and that freaked me out. I was like 16 in the time and I was young and wanted to have fun not think of committing at such a young age. So it just depends on your girlfriend.

That's really sweet. I'm almost 16 and my boyfriend is 17. We've been together for awhile and have talked about the same things you and your girlfriend have. If I were your girlfriend, I would love it. It's very sweet of a boyfriend to do such a thing. I wish my boyfriend would get me one!!

I think you should go for it. It sounds like you have a good relationship with a future to it, and with a lot of good support from family. If it will make her happy and you mean it, I think it will be good.

thats nice...

well that depends if u rly want her to have a promise ring or not. im pretty sure she'll accept a promise ring from u. i think u should give her one but as i said in the beginning its ur choice if u want her to have a promise ring.

good luck :D

You're only 16. You should really wait and see if you still feel the same way about each other in a few more years.'



It's sweet, but... things could change.

even though 16 is really young it doesnt mean it cant be love. its rare but could totally happen. so if you're sure you want to be with her (even though you can't tell the future, you sound like you have a pretty solid idea of what you want) you should do it :)

Only if you are sure that you can keep that promise. At 16, I don't see how either of you could, but hey, good luck.
