promise ring
17/m
ok so me and my girlfriend are reaching out 6 month. and i love her. she is my first love. and well i want to get her a promise ring. but do all promise rings mean "i want to be with you forever"? i mean i want to give her a promise ring and make 2 promises
1. that i will do whatever i can to be with her
and 2. that i will wait for marrige for sex (i know that would mean alot to her)
i mean we have said that we want to be together forever and we hope to get married someday
but you never know what can happen so i would like to make those promises insted.
is that okay or do promise rings always have to me "forever"?

Speaking from a girls point of view, a promise ring can be easily mistaken as a "forever" commitment. A good idea would be to say to her that you will do whatever you can to be with her and that you're going to wait for marriage for sex and then give her the ring and tell her that the ring stands for those two things, those two promises you're making to her.

Promise rings don't have to mean forever. That is normally what wedding rings symbolize. Think of it this way:
Promise ring: I really do love you and if you love me I want to stay with you as long as these feelings last, if that's forever then I know you're my one.
Engagement ring: I believe I want to spend the rest of my life with you because I love you so much.
Wedding Ring: We will be together forever.
(this is traditionally, with divorce death and remarriage it doesn't count).
But also, a Promise ring is something you give to her and make a promise on. Such as you did, doing all you can and waiting for sex. Don't worry, they don't mean "forever".
