    Default so whats a promise ring mean to you?

    a cousin of mine just recieved a promis ring from her boyfriend. She is christian and said it means they will wait till they are married to have sex.
    To me, a promise ring means that you are in an exclusive relationship and will one day be married.

    To me, a promise ring is a way of being engaged, but not really. It's a stopover into married-town.

    Then again, there are promise rings that are given out as part of abstinence programs, which basically reserve you until you get married, sort of like putting virginity on layaway.

    I didn't realize that adults did the "promise ring" thing. I thought only kids did that. Seems kind of silly to me... either get engaged or don't.

    It means that you're fifteen and want to have something to show that you are "serious" with your boyfriend. I'm all but certain that adults don't do such things.

    ^^That's what I was thinking Yek. I guess it has it's purpose, but personally I might be a little offended if my bf gave me a primise ring instead of an engagement ring, since they're sort of along the same lines. So to me, it would say "I might want to marry you someday, but this would be an easier out than an actual engagement ring in case I change my mind".

    It might be one of those freaky abstinence pledge things. Only anal sex before marriage!

    My fiance gave me a claddagh ring, as a promise ring, when we were dating. He wears one too. The ring is apart of his heritage.

    He gave it to me because he could not afford the rock, and told me to wear it on my left ring finger until he could put a diamond on it. He did this whole sappy home-cooked meal, flowers, etc. I was twenty when I got it.

    And we have teh sexx0rz so it's not of that nature.

    I had a friend who was given a turquoise promise ring from her Spanish boyfriend before he went to Iraq. Something about Spanish soldiers giving them to their betrothed before leaving for war as a way to show other men that she is taken. She cried. He came back and they got hitched.

    I had a promise ring in high school, which was supposed to be a "i promise we'll get engaged later". Thank god that promise was broken. But, my old roommate had a "true love waits" ring, which was a promise to not have sex til they got married. Funny...I wonder why she needed that pregnancy test then...

    It means you're too young to be thinking of getting married.

    It means that you're not mature/old/financially stable enough to get engaged but that you promise you will be when you ARE mature/old/financially stable. It's sort of like wearing your boyfriends letterman jacket or class ring.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    It's all relative to the people involved. Regardless of the age, the desire to symbolize something special between two people intimately involved is always there. Just, as we grow older we forget how cute it is in place of the harsh reality. Let them have their fun. Teach!
    People are not ruled by their memories.

    Where I live, the promise ring is a staple for church freak-daddies girls who want to pretend they aren't going to have sex.

    It is the pre-cursor to being engaged.

    When I was in college, you got lavaliered (sp?), then promised, then engaged, then married.

    Promise rings?

    Damn... I thought those went out alongside slap bracelets and the word "SIKE!"

    *shrugs*

    I think a "promise ring" means he's too broke to get you a real ring!

    Like...I promise to get you something better!

    That's what came to my mind when I read the title of this thread.

    I actually had a mormon friend who had a promise ring as an abstinence pledge when I was younger. Her and her guy stuck to butt sex cuz it preserved her virginity!

    Yeah, there's something called "Worth the Wait" (and I'm sure many other programs to it's liking with different names), and you make a vow to maintain your virginity until marriage. I know there's a ring involved, but I didn't know you take the vow as part of a couple.
    Anyways, to the point .. personally, I always thought a promise ring means that you're exclusive, and that you promise your love. Not necessarily like an engagement ring, or saying you will one day be married, but that you're still devoted to this person in a lesser sense. Maybe not a lesser sense, but a less-permanent sense anyways.

    My first thought was "that you're in 8th grade", but I think that's been roughly covered.
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
