One of my married coworkers said it best when he said, "Friends don't let friends get promise rings. Get engaged or don't do it at all. Promise rings are ridiculous." (His words, but I agree.)
I have to agree with what everyone else said. I was semi-promised when I was 19, and I'm with a different guy now. I'm 27....a lot has changed in 8 years. I'm glad that I am not married or engaged. I'm still growing into my own and figuring out what it is that I want from myself and my life. I am in a committed relationship, and we have discussed engagement, but when we are both ready...and that is not right now. I think before I am 30, but realistically why push it? This is going to sound very jaded but oh well: A ring doesn't stop anyone from doing things anyhow. A promise ring would be just another piece of jewelry to wear, unless you are truly committed to someone (and in my opinion that is a bad idea for anyone under the age of 25) what is the point of being anything other than married/committed/engaged?
