So this was the reason I even thought about selling my rims.

Nothing amazing but she loves it and has no idea its coming. Plus I get free earrings with it. Going to pick it up on Saturday, had to wait to take it so I could get the earrings. Its what would be considered a promise ring, which I find pointless but you can be right or you can be happy lol.
Best part was I told her I backed out of selling them (all the while they were riding around in the back seat boxed up) so she is still thinking Valentines Day at the earliest to get it.
Got approved for a credit card too so now I can establish my credit. I already have the cash set aside I just need to get my credit going.
Her birthday is next Friday, I just have to try and wait til then to give it to her.
After I left I realized I have bought 3 of my 5 cars for less money than what I spent on a little piece of rock and metal.
Congratulations and good luck.
Very nice.I assume you two are close?LOL.
I guess you could say that. 2 years back in Aug. She goes to school 2 hrs away and we are making things work so Id say we are pretty close.
What is the purpose of the ring?Promise ring?Engagement? Give me some?
lol Vinnie

My Gayle has some nice jewelry.Hopefully that isn't what it takes,but just in case.
Hmmm...must be love :D
Seriously, that's cool man..nothing but the best for you two :bowdown::D
She wanted a promise ring. Which to me is an engagement to an engagement to marriage, or in other words I dont get the point. Im not to the point I have to pay that much to get some yet lol. We all gotta pay one way or another though, its never free.
She has wanted one for about 8-9 months (no not for that reason lol) but I could never afford it. And just like a car, i planned for around 250-300, all said and done I was at 500. I really want to go pick it up tomorrow but 18 hrs of work is getting in my way.
I can just hope she likes it as much as she did when we looked at it. Would have been nice to wait til our 3 year but Im not one for waiting. Tomorrow is never promised so you gotta live now.
Congrats!! I see I'm not the only one who went out and bought a ring lately. I just went this past monday and bought my girl an engagement ring and matching wedding band so when the day comes I'll have it as well. This will be both of our third go at it. I have no doubts about it this time, I know deep down she's the one. Finally!!!
sorry, i don't think you look good wearing the earrings?
Congrats Dillon!! Here's to many years of happiness. :cheers:
lol yeah me either. I should sell them but it just 1 more present for her.
Thanks to everyone. I cant wait to give it to her. I rarely get to suprise her, she always finds out before I can. This time I know she will be suprised.
Hmm if you need a ring to get some you're doing something wrong:rollin:
Congrats, cool ring!
I think she'll be very happy.Are you saving til Christmas?That would be cool.Just don't even let on about a ring,ignore hints,and then on Christmas.....BAM...Diamonds.
Well that was the plan only for her birthday on the 4th, but...
Last night after my 18hrs of work (Black Friday can kiss ass) she tells me Im going to tell you something but done be mad. I dont like that ring that much anymore. FML
So I try to avoid even telling her I already bought it and was going to pick it up the next day. We kept talkin and she kept asking if I was mad but I was saying no. I wasnt mad just kinda like now what?
So for some reason I told her what I did. Bad idea. She was so upset and mad at herself but I couldnt have been happier in the end. If she wouldnt have told me then I would of given her a ring she didnt like and she would have looked at it every day and wished it was different. I tried explain to her I was glad she told me but she was still upset over it all. She isnt one to show too much emotion about little things so I know she was really mad at herself and in return I was kinda mad at myself for rushing and getting that ring right after we looked at it.
SO... Plan is to drive back to Zales and return the ring I never got and either wait for a while for another ring, or buy her the one thing I KNOW I cant go wrong with, no matter what, without a doubt....

We will see how I feel when I get there.
So this was a fail. Atleast I failed early so I didnt fall as hard.
I think she's being a little hard to please here. I'd be plenty pissed.
id kept my wheels IMO
good luck making a woman happy its hard to do sometimes
You got woman'd.
;)
Don't feel bad. I spent all the money, and the relationship failed.
Are you kidding about the penguin?Why not a ring?You guys are "serious" aren't you? I would think a woman serious in her relationship would be wanting a ring.My own guess of course.
Wow,I said "serious" three times and asked a lot of questions.Sorry about that.LOL.
You're prolly better off this way in the long run. It's better for both of you if she's happy, so make sure she gets what she wants this time. Consider it a warm-up for marriage. "A happy wife is a happy life." lol.
Vinnie's right. At least how I'm seeing it from my end of the world. But hey, It's what she wants...
It all comes down to appreciation in my own opinion.In the very first post you stated that she loved that ring.I would NOT say that it was a "Fail" by any means.You did good.The rest wasn't on your shoulders (so to speak).
My girlfriend is trying to get me to get her an engagement ring i looked at her like this ಠ_ಠ. I love her and all but im not ready for marriage just yet. She is trying to push me into it because her Mom and stepfather dated each other for 6 months and got married. I have been dating her for 2 years.
Serious about the penguin. She is getting that for her birthday. The ring will wait. She is, well we both are particular about things, which makes this so much harder. Usually diamonds alone are enough for a woman but she is a little harder to please. They arent as important to her like they are to most. If Im dropping the money it better be something she likes and if she started thinking she didnt like that one Im not getting it.
New plan is shop around more, wait and let her think about it, then go back and look again. I owe $250 on that necklace and the earrings (1/3 ct, 1/5 ct IIRC). I cant stand this waiting to pay for things, I feel like Im playing a board game.
Ring or no ring things are the same between us. Time will tell on this. There is a ring somewhere, Ill find it for her somehow.
LMAO! You are wise beyond your years good sir. ;)
I usually go by, you can be right, or you can be happy.
Im wrong a lot more these days....
Success.
That is all.
Awesome...a happy woman at home means a happy man out in the shop lol ;)
