promise ring? engagement? how much did it set you back?

[GT2000]

Hmm..yeah, I'm with johnny on this one (watch for lava flow through cities and blinding blizzards in miami..), but, you go from having a shitty job, no education, and being in doubt of your place to live...to spending a good chunk on a ring...cause diamond rings that size costs...several grand.

I guess it's possible..lots of people do dumb things when their future is still deeply in question, like ending up in a credit hole that they will never get out of.

Most likely just faked though.

Anyways..conFLATulations!

well actually you are completely wrong in all cases.

1.) you go from having a shitty job-
my jobs not that bad. what great job do you have to show for your years of education? if my job is "shitty" you being on a pole making sure the wind doesnt knock out my "i love the 80s" doesnt seem much better than me unloading a trailor of big screens... on a side note i work other side jobs when im not doing bestbuy wharehouse work.

2.)no education-
by whose standards? you are truely an arrogant prick. get over yourself donnie.

3.)and being in doubt of your place to live-
ive been in doubt of where i was gonna live since i was 16. sorry i didnt mooch off mommy and daddy long enough to get my life in order. i was too busy with my own problems. you are no better than i or anyone else. give thanks you have been lucky enough to have a stable home life.

4.)cause diamond rings that size costs...several grand.-
thought you just got engaged? did you not buy her a ring? i guess you just didnt look much. rings the size i got, are generally 3-6 hundred. ive been looking at rings since june trying to find a good price. a place near me just had a christmas sale and i got a good deal.

5.) like ending up in a credit hole that they will never get out of.-
actually i have perfect credit. absolutely not one bill has ever been missed. ive never been declined for any credit. i rarely use credit, the only times i use credit is when i am trying to build my credit score. my dad worked for a collection company and i was raised not to fuck my credit up.

johnny, i do however like you. if you thought i photo shopped the ring into the picture, i did not. it is 1/8k diamonds and 10k gold. wich is not that expensive of a ring. the victorian style of having alot of little diamonds just makes it sparkle and look like more. thats why i liked the ring so much, me being on a budget and all. it is a promise ring however i do plan on proposing once i get settled into a house (hopefully some time next year).

if i lied about giving her the ring shes gonna be upset when she realizes shes not really wearing it and all of her friends telling her they like it are seeing things. perhaps my gf and her friends are also in on the lie. maybe i just made 7 myspace accounts and added 100+ friends list on each of them and back dated comments about her ring.

oh and im not mad you think im lying donnie. thats why im not mad at johnny, he just accused me of lying. you however took a personal shot and my value as a person. obviously i have told a tale or two before. thats just me screwing around on the internet (the ever so honest internet).the thing that pissed me off is people think they can talk down and belittle other human beings becuase of social status in society. you sound no better than a snot nosed bully in grade school telling the kid on wellfare hes a piece of shit for how he chose to spend the little money he has. go fuck yourself.

edit: oh yeah, try not to act so jealous donnie its really not flattering on you. sorry the kid you think you are supirior to was able to buy something nice for his girlfriend on her birthday. ill go back to my paper bag and pan handle some more now.

[raublekick]

ahem...

hex, i believe donnie said that shit because... well, because you've posted stuff before that pretty much stated everything he said.


waa waa waa emo :( :( :(

[Cid]

*runs over and hugs Hex* You're my best friend on the interwebs I think!

I was getting outright mad at Donnie when I read his post...I'm like...that picture is CLEARLY not shopped...why can't Hex do something nice for his girl? You guys all have your heads up your asses over Hex 'cuz he goofs off sometimes...as if you never do.

I'm very happy for you Hex, and I'm happy for your girlfriend. I hope you two are happy, and don't let people piss on your parade.

Since when can someone who didn't go to college not afford to buy a ring...I'll have to let my dad know he's a loser jerk off, and should take back everything he's ever bought because he's not good enough to have a nice life. Sucks for him. His credit SEEMED ok.

[johnny]

[heX]

i don't have any reason to believe that you would lie about something like this; i was just being dumb because i like to do that alot.

yeah i figured, thats why i wasnt mad.

if i misread donnie, then sorry donnie. you still were being an ass.

[heX]

ahem...

hex, i believe donnie said that shit because... well, because you've posted stuff before that pretty much stated everything he said.


waa waa waa emo :( :( :(

im sure thats why he said it also. a normal person would have taken what i said for what it was. a self-righteous ass would interpret it as "shitty job" "no education". i believe i said "i cant afford college right now" how does that equate to "no education". in comparison donnie does not have a better job and even if he did he has no place to call mine shitty. thats why i took the time to outline his self-righteous arrogant outlook on life. donnie was clearly upset that i was able to do something nice for my girlfriend. there is a good chance donnie may even take his own life if he knew what i bought her last year.

sorry masta ill get back to back breaking work now. please don't woop me masta! i dont know how to type i didnt write that!

[GT2000]

Haha..yeah, I was pretending to be a self-righteous ass, but I'm really not, just purposefully taking everything out of context to stir ya up ;) Everything you tried to say about me in that post...couldn't be any further from the truth, but, I'm not worried about it...

So seriously, I don't see anything you say...and then automatically assume it's a lie, it's called..FUCKING WITH YOU!!

And yeah..you never answered Neil...just a gift..engagement..promise..what?

[heX]

[thecreeper]

if she weren't smiling, that pic would totally look like you were some psycho holding her hostage with a gun to her back.

but yeah, congrats dude.

[Jesse]

but yeah, congrats dude.

Congrats for what? All he did was buy her a ring.

Unless I missed where it said there was some sort of important meaning behind it. And if that's the case.

Congrats.

[malta]

Yea, she hot. And I think the pictures still funny even if she is smileing.

you are congratting me for not being gay

Congrats.

If anything we should be making fun of Hex... Christ, it's a fucking PROMISE RING!!!! THAT IS SO FUCKING LAAAAAAMEEEEEE

sorry hex, that's just how i feel. if a girl ever wanted a promise ring from me, the first thing i'd say is "uuuhh... fuck no. see ya"

[Jesse]

So is a promise ring just a junior engagement ring?

Edit: The snow falling in my browser really adds to that picture of you and your girlfriend.

congrats, for keeping it real.

[malta]

Man, I'd ask for that ring back if you 2 ever split. Or would it be like the movies and she'd take it off and throw it at you during a fight?

Well, congrats anyway... on making a promise or buying your girlfriend a ring or whatever. It looks preeeeecious.

[Liss]

I think it's great. It's nice for me to see the gesture; it's like, "I really love you but we're too young to get married. Here's a token representing my good intentions. Let's continue to be in love and when we get our shit together later, we can mess with the legally binding bullshit that it takes to convince the world that we want to be together."

My mom has been wearing an engagement ring for over a year now; there is still no definite date for the wedding, but she and her fiance are SO in love. That's what matters...So what's the difference between that and a promise ring?

Congratulations Hex! ::applauds::

[raublekick]

The problem I have is why you need a ring in the first place. It's like "I don't trust you enough to take your word for it, buy me a ring". Or from the guys perspective "I can buy you a ring, baby, stay with me".

Not that that is always the case, but come on, why do we need to get our significant others expensive stuff to show love?

[Mr Biglesworth]

slap that bitch, sell her coke

[raublekick]

exactly

[heX]

i suprised her with the ring she didnt ask me to get it for her. we already have intention to stay together the ring was just a gift to make her happy. most jewlers take back promise rings at 100% cost to go towards the cost of an engagent ring. so basically its like a down payment on a engagement ring and she gets something for her finger till then. its understood if we should break up (wich i dont see happening any time soon) she will give the ring back. by understood i mean i said "if we break up i get the ring and laptop back, bitch"

[Artmead]

she will give the ring back. by understood i mean i said "if we break up i get the ring and laptop back, bitch"


From her myspace: Music: fall out boy, no use for a name, my chemical romance, hawthorne heights, taking back sunday, straylight run, mxpx, dashboard confessionals, the starting line

Christ, that makes the shit i listen to look like fuckin mozart and handel...

Raub, I've gotten jewelry as gifts, and I never asked for it. And none of my boyfriends ever held it over my head...like, "I gave you that bracelet, Bitch, you're stuck with me." It doesn't work that way.

[raublekick]

I'm not dumb, I know it doesn't explicitly work that way. But how many chicks would say yes to a proposal if there were no ring, and how many dudes would have the balls to do so?

Or maybe it's not even that deep, it's just something that people do, and I don't see any reason for it. It's not any different than flashing your tail feathers or sparring with another buck. ::shrugs::

[johnny]

And none of my boyfriends ever held it over my head...like, "I gave you that bracelet, Bitch, you're stuck with me."that's probably where they went wrong

[malta]

"But how many chicks would say yes to a proposal if there were no ring"

I would get a ring just because it would seem like a fun thing to do. Does there have to be a reason for everything? I don't feel like I'd have to get her a ring, and if she'd only say yes if I got her one she probably isn't the person I want marry.

[Cid]

See, if you feel like it's something you HAVE to do...then you're doing it for the wrong reason. I guess until you actually WANT to do something nice for someone, you just couldn't understand.

And yet, I agree that it's a stupid tradtion. Just because the diamond companies have such a high markup, thus making it cost WAY too much to make someone happy. A ring should never cost a few grand...it's just stupid.

100% agree

[Cid]

I 100% love you. What-say you, me and that hottie in your pictures get it ON!

[Jesse]

I understand that people like to buy jewelry for eachother and what not, but I don't get the importance that a ring holds in a relationship. She could be wearing the engagement/wedding ring, and be fucking a different dude every night, and you'd never know.

[raublekick]

See, if you feel like it's something you HAVE to do...then you're doing it for the wrong reason. I guess until you actually WANT to do something nice for someone, you just couldn't understand.

You're right, I've never done anything nice for anyone. And if I did, it certainly wasn't because I wanted to.

:rolleyes:

[Cid]

Then I guess I just can't see how you can get so bent out of shape about Hex giving his girlfriend a ring. I mean, he wanted to make her happy...because he clearly loves her. Is that so wrong? You just act like you've been burned by the oposite sex a few too many times, and you're just a touch bitter.

I mean, there's a chance that him buying a ring was for nothing else than to make her happy. Maybe he isn't trying to impress you or anyone else. Maybe he was just happy to have the chance to make her so happy. But of course not, he's flashing tail feathers. No no, she made him do it. Better still, he did it to bribe her into staying with him, after all...he probably doesn't trust her, and she more than likely doesn't trust him. That must be it.

Are you sure you bought something for someone out of desire, Raub? Or were you flashing tail feathers? God damn that's a dumb analogy. No offense.

Maybe I'm misreading things.

[Mr Biglesworth]

yeah dude his post was in swahilii

I never once said Hex's ring-purchase was because of any of those things. I was speaking in general terms as an observation, which I still agree with.

I have no problems with making people happy, I just don't understand, or like, the need for material crap in a relationship. Isn't the gift of love enough? Why the need to plop some unnamed amount of money on something like a ring when you're already in love? It's not the ring itself that bothers me, it's that we throw around "I love you" so much that we need something like a ring to actually give it meaning. The act of love should bring lots of happiness by itself, shouldn't it?

And for the record, I have never been burned by the opposite sex.

[Mr Biglesworth]

ah c'mon, we've all been burned. That's because women are inherently evil. For the record.

Personally I think that gifts can be really sweet, when you surprise someone you love with something meaningful. I bought one of my girlfriends a book that looked interesting when I knew she was bored out of her mind in her hometown, then hid it in her closet before I left. Another time I bought a little figurine of a faery and wrote a poem about her faery-self.
What I've seen is a dynamic where one partner will constantly buy stuff for the other, and they don't really appreciate it, but it continues because it seems like an easy way to validate the relationship. Obviously material things are immaterial to what a relationship is really about, and money can't buy you love.

[Liss]

How often have you been involved with the opposite sex to have never been burned?

Heh, jk:)

For the record, I'VE never gotten an actual ring. I'm a-ok with it, because if any of the guys I've been involved with in the past had given me one, I'd be like, "What fool?" I've never been in love. I'm not a lovey dovey anyway and I know that rings prove nothing (look at my parents!) but someday I'll probably consider marriage and appreciate the gesture of a ring. Just tangible love, baby, yea.

[raublekick]

I've only ever had one girlfriend, it was a pretty standard 9th grade relationship and our breakup was mutual and uneventful. Other than that there was only one other girl that I had one pseudo-date with, and one girl who I really "loved" (i.e. it was more than just "I like you").

In the case of the girlfriend, I never bought her a thing, and she never did for me, and all was good.

I have nothing against gifts or nice acts. I think things like Bigles did, and what Merk's boyfriend did in her thread, are really awesome things to do. But if you're going to spend $X.XX on a ring, why couldn't you spend $X.XX on a huge pile of elephant shit? Ok, don't answer that...

[Liss]

LMAO

So new topic: What's the nicest thing any significant other has done for you or given to you, and vice versa?

[johnny]

Isn't the gift of love enough?sounds like a pretty shitty gift! it's like asking for peace on earth for christmas when you could get a new toy instead..

[Mr Biglesworth]

So new topic: What's the nicest thing any significant other has done for you or given to you, and vice versa?

You mean like.. going down on eachother?

[heX]

You mean like.. going down on eachother?

oh yeah. this is what im talking about.

new topic: what does your weiner look like?

[Mr Biglesworth]

Hex hun you've gotta get into my heart before i let you into my pants...

[johnny]

it probably wouldn't even take a ring

edit: 666th post; satan!?

[Mike]

I thought I got my girlfriend preggers this weekend ... But the drip started so we're in goood shape!

[Mike]

And in the general who cares facts:
Diamonds are some of the most plentiful stones on earth. D'beers has one of the few total corners / monopolies on the diamond market, so they charge whatever price they want.

Speaking of such, I think I will go drink some d'beers, brb.

[Liss]

I thought I got my girlfriend preggers this weekend ... But the drip started so we're in goood shape!

Not the, uh, type of gift I was, uh, referring to, actually.

[teensupernothing]

well, besides what my bf did for me this weekend, (which started to melt today... sad...) nicest thing a guy has ever done for me is probably when i was really sick, and he came over after school with a bunch of hilarious DVD's he burned me copies of, a big bouquet sunflowers (my favorite), and lindt white chocolate with coconut, which is the only chocolate i eat. (allergic to normal chocolate and regular white chocolate is just gross) it was more the subtle things he noticed that made it so sweet. seriously, i've had people get me soemthing nice, and spend WAY too much on a gift, and while it's nice, little things mean so much more. i totally flipped when dan wrote in the snow, had he bought me something it would've been like "oh... thanks."

guys- you takin notes?

[heX]

i totally flipped when dan wrote in the snow
guys- you takin notes?

what did he write in the snow? ill assume this is refference to another post i am to lazy to read.

i dont just throw money at my gf and tell her to like me. quite the opposite. generally were on a tight budget but i like to suprise her with something nice every once in a while... on that note

http://ergraiders.com/niomis/niomiinsnow.jpg
i write in the snow for her too :-p

EDIT: read your post. appatently we think alike.

[Don Stinson]

Getting engaged is expensive. It does, however, guarantee boobage.

[teensupernothing]

hex, he had the balls to do it on my entire back yard, when it was a sure thing my parents would see it. not to mention he slept in his truck to make sure he was there in the morning to surprise me, cause i kinda went to bed and locked him out. but i digress.. it's awesome you and your girlfriend have an amazing relationship.. but YOU'RE A COPYCAT. :-P

[Cid]

since your boyfriend was the first to write in the snow...??

Honestly, this thread is starting to make me ill.

[teensupernothing]

well then don't read it. and no, okay he wasn't. but it was the first time i've ever seen a guy actually do it, let alone, do it for me :-D

[Mike]

He's just looking to justify the time he did it on your face.

don't complain about how hard it is to get out ... I wrote I love you in the snow... ungrateful bitch..

Getting engaged is expensive. It does, however, guarantee boobage.

One would only hope :(
