So, my questions are usually opinion issues, but this one's actually an "I don't know" issue.
What is the guy's equivilant of a promise ring?
My guy and I are going ring shopping for me, and I want to get him something that says "I'm taken" basically (because I don't trust girls, and we're going to different colleges in the fall).
My problem is that he doesn't wear jewelry. Like, at all.
There's the sliiiiiim possibility that I could get him to make an exception for a ring (or even get him to put the ring on the only necklace he wears (a dog tag on a chain)) but I doubt it.
So...what can I get him that'll tell other people he's taken besides a ring or a tattoo with my name in it? Lol.
Sometimes girls will try to test how much a guy cares about them by trying to make them wear rings, etc....lots of people do it, so if this is on your mind, you're normal. However, guys do function a bit differently than girls and are usually quite happy to have no ring - they still feel loved and don't need outward signs of coupledom.
If you trust your guy, then be happy with your ring and the committment you've made to each other.

DONT whatever you do get a tatoo, because its just plain foolish. If you two break up he's still gonna have your name on his arm! If you cant get him to wear jewelery, you should just trust him. In the meantime, think to yourself why you doubted his dedication to you in the first place.
Hope this helped, and Good Luck in college!

Say it could be a reminder of you when he is at school and away from you. My boyfriend wears a necklace..Basically guys that wear necklaces ((no dog tags)) have girlfriends. Basically. But one thing i know for sure a girl will second guess herself is a ring. I wear a promise ring my boyfriend got me and no guy has talked to me in 10 months. Well I hope I helped. Please tell me what he says if you go with this plan...GOOD LUCK HUN! [ SaraLee's advice column | Ask SaraLee A Question ]
