Hello, I'm 18/F and my boyfriend is 21. We've been dating for almost two years now and we are deeply in love with each other. He wants to get me a promise ring but I think it's a bit childish and I want an engagement ring instead. What should I do? (link)

Firstly, is your 21 year old boyfriend READY for that kinda thing? i hope your not trying to pressure him into it.
a promise ring and an engagement ring are basically the same thing, only a promise ring isnt as expensive (or doesnt have to be) as an engagement ring would be. a ring is just a symbol that you are betrothing yourself to someone and that you will ONE DAY (hopefully whenever you guys can both afford it) be having a wedding.
I was engaged to my now husband of 13 years, for about 5 years! just because you have a ring doesnt mean there has to be a set date either! me and mine didnt have one. we just knew that once we were BOTH ready money wise and had finished school that we would start planning a wedding. theres not shame in wearing either a promise ring OR an engagement ring with no set date. Infact the only thing MY engagement ring did for me was put pressure on us to set a date and start making plans from his side of the family and mine! ((and hes seven years older then me!) so you could obviously gather from THAT, that we were not both in the same place for that yet >>>points at myself
