I've been dating my current boyfriend for over 2 years now. D recently went through a "revelation" in which now he wants to bring our relationship to the next-next level, that is engagement. But here's the thing, he's told me two different things...it'll be 2 years til he can afford the ring he wants to buy me (it's between 3 and 5 grand) but then again he's said that I will not know at all when he'll "pop the question". So it'll be a complete surprise. But, he's getting ready to sell his baby (a solid white 92 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Turbo fully equiped complete with custom ground effects and rims) But he really doesn't need to, he's just said that he needs a safer and more economical car...yeah. But here's another thing, he needs to pay off some tuition and also living expenses but he's just giving me 2 different messages. He's showing me stones and asking which I prefer (we'll be ring shopping here next week) but then he's saying he needs to pay off a crapload worth od debt. I'm getting too confused.
So, what'yda think?

That Eclipse sounds tight!
Honestly, I think you're moving way too quick. You've been dating for 2 yrs and already picking out rings. If you want to be married only once ( which I think you're that type of girl), I suggest you date this guy a little longer.
Now, my response to the actual situation. I think you should sit him down and have a talk with him. You need to tell him that you don't want him to buy you a ring yet until he's paid off his debt and taken care of his finances. Explain to him that you don't want to start in debt. I think he's gonna sell his "baby" inorder to pay off the tuition and living expenses, then get a new car that doesn't cost him too much to keep up ( I'm sure he puts a lot of money into that car to keep it looking tight). He'll be doing all that while saving money to buy you a ring. He's getting his $hit together in preping for you. It could be anytime after he gets his new car.
Keep me posted on his actions.
