So my current boyfriend and I have been going out for a while now and he is so sweet and amazing. He always tells me he loves me, and I tell him I love him as well (because I do) but the other day he came over to my house and gave me a beautiful silver ring with a turquoise stone. He told me that it was a promise ring that we were going to be together forever and get married one day. But sometimes people say that and don't really mean it. How do I know he really really means it. Because I love him so much and I do want to marry him when I grow up. I have dated other guys and he is the only one who makes me feel this way. I just want to know if I am going to end up getting my heart broken. Does he really mean he wants to be with me?

I digress, enjoy your relationship with him, and if it turns out okay in a few more years, then have fun.

I think that if you really love your boyfriend & know for sure that he loves you, this wouldn't be something you'd question. He probably more than likely is serious about this decision. Besides, no guy gives a girl a ring for no reason. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
Anthro_Wolf89 answered Saturday June 6 2009, 3:36 am: I think he is the real deal. Of course anything can happen, but I think he truly means it.
I had a guy get me a promise ring and he said the same things to me, and he was a true jerk...
I already knew this, but I decided to trust him anyway. What I'm trying to say is, while some guys do mean it at the time, sometimes they have a change of heart. Hopefully this won't happen. He seems like a great guy, don't let him go. lol
