My girlfriend and I are going to be at our 4 month relationship this Wednsday and I have been thinking about giving her a promise ring or something very special like that. I've known her about 2 years and for alot of that time we were very good friends who liked each other but never dated. I turn 16 this August and she turns 16 in April. Her parents like me alot and my parents absolutly love her. Hah, even the other day her mom said Clarissa (her name) and me where going to have some 50 kids and me and Clair have talked about getting married during college or soon after. She and myself have dated a few other people but shes so much different. For the first time I honestly think I'm in love, one minute with her can feel like forever but hours seem like minutes. With other girls I dated I could see another girl and sometimes thing "Oh, I'd rather date her" or things like that, but with this girl, it's totally different. Other girls are just that...other girls. It don't matter if they have bigger 'things' or whatever, because they arn't MY girl. Clarissa and I have both told each other we want to get married someday, and I do want to get her a promise ring. I'm just not sure if I should give it to her on our 4 month or wait til something like a 1 year or just wait a few other months.

Can anybody offer me a little bit of advice? Anything would be great. (If it matters, my name is Jake)

If you told each other that you want to get married someday and mean it then I don't see why not.

You should give one to her at 6-8 months. But if you really want to get one now, go for it.

I personally think you should get a little bit further on the relationship before doing that.

You are barely 16 and have been dating for 4 months. Answer no. You have no idea what you want in life and just watch how much people change from that age to even the end of highschool. Lets say you make it to the end of highschool together, in all likelyhood you will break up when you go to college or do whatever. I'm not saying go into this thinking it wont last but don't be so naive to think you have found "that girl" at 15 years old.

Well, does anybody think it'd be a little weird for a 15 year old to get his gilfriend a promise ring? I'll probley run the idea past her older sister and see how she thinks her folks would take it. I really care about this girl and I thank god everyday I have her

Hell no man, don't do that. You're only 15, you think that 2,3, maybe 5 years from now you two will still be together? Just enjoy what you have now and don't worry about taking things to the next level. Otherwise, the realization of things actually becoming more serious between you two might scare her away. Get her some tickets to a Hannah Montana concert or whatever the hell you young kids are into these days and just have fun.

If you think she'd be into it, sure go ahead. A promise ring sounds pretty lame to me though.

If you are still together at 23 and are very happy with each other then sure go for it. 15-16 is too young for thoughts like that. Life can change A LOT for you during the next 5 years.

But what the hell do i know, blind leading the blind... :)

You cannot begin comprehend the enormous changes your life will take year to year from now to age 30. Fortunately a promise ring is not legally binding so if it makes her happy, knock yourself out. But trust me, ten years from now in all likelyhood your 16 year old girlfriend will be a fond memory, not your wife.

Wait longer.

A better present is a good body. Get like a ring that promises that you'll never get fat. Women often tend to appreciate that. But make her get one that promises the same thing. That'd be classy.

You are both 16, been together only four months and you want to get married "some day?" Maybe you should get more acquainted with her before you start "promising" anything.

Well, only you can decide if you feel you're ready or not. Personally, I think 15 is wayyy too soon for her to be thinking about marriage. I don't give relationship advice, but what I do give is what I would do in that situation and I believe more time would be needed to even begin talking about marriage.


As for the parents - highly irresponsible to mention having children to a 15 and 16 year old.

****ING HELL NO!

:|...... Yea, that actually makes quite a bit of a difference. Ok, seriously now.:P You shouldn't be asking us, you should be asking her. Yea, it would be romantic it you surprised her and bla bla bla... But no, when you get engaged THAT'S when you surprise her. Making a promise to make a promise that you'll make a promise seams kind of odd. You guys are still trying each other out, settling into each other's ways. You should be as casual about things as you can at this point. Don't think about how you and her are going to be, think about who you are. You need to have plenty of UNromantic moments with each other so you'll know who she is when nothing's going on. Do something stupid and boring that has no meaning what so ever. However, I didn't just say no, (seriously that is.:P) I said talk to her about it. She might need it. Some girls are desperate for security in love, doesn't matter why they're like that, maybe their dad didn't love them enough and they need love from a male figure, doesn't matter. Don't get a promise ring for some romantic reason, get it so she'll know that she's made it, she found her love. That will give her the security she needs so she can relax. The reason why you shouldn't surprise her is cuz no matter how much she says it, there's a pretty good chance she doesn't know what she want's to do with her life. You're 16, no offense but there's a pretty good chance you might think of other things latter. Even if she would never think of leaving you, it's still a tight knot to tie, just cuz you want it doesn't mean it can't strangle you. if you just surprise her and she doesn't want that knot around her she has to either shoot you down or suffocate herself. Both decisions will hurt your relationship one way or another. So I say, ask her if she wants one in a very casual, laid back, it's cool if you don't want to manner. That way if she needs it she can have it, if she doesn't then no one's hurt. If she's all hesitant about it and you think she doesn't want it, tell her what I just told you. You understand it's a tight knot rather you want it or not. That'll give her a scapegoat so you drop the subject without anyone getting hurt.

Dating four months, just turning 16. :o

A relationship like that doesn't need something like a promise ring. Just enjoy it dude and take it easy. Cranking up the commitment at that age and after just four months is not a good idea.

Not to be rude or anything but you're not even 16 yet and you plan on getting someone a promise ring after four month relationship. You're young and college will hit you like a ton of bricks being thrown from a building. Just wait till you go to college. If you manage to go out with her until college you'll be lucky to hold a decent relationship when you're in college. I've seen so many relationships die once college hits since you'll be separated for a long time. Plus there are so many temptations.

Most marriages end in devorce. I dont know why people are so quick to get hitched these days. Why so they can have to deal with all the crap that is divorce.

Don't do it right now. You'll never know what will happen. If you two last until the end of both your senior years in high school, then maybe. However, being young, and not having a big concept of the world, if such a thing happens, then you are blessed, but it is doubtful you will marry your high school sweetheart, and 4 is a long time, but maybe you both will be more serious if you last 2 years. A promis ring will just make things feel worse when life doesn't turn out so well. but if you two stay together, good luck with the future, and congratulations.
