What do you think he wants, it was the first date and he gets her a ring?

Well first of all she should be open and honest with him. She should tell him stright up how she feels. Its okay to tell him to wait, if he loves her he will wait. If she really love him and shes ready to take the next step in life, well maybe its her right time. Its all depending on her feelings for him and also her love for him. She needs to follow her heart.

ok...um so first we would go to a romantic dinner and all that usual date stuff. i dont really want something fancy because i think it would give the surprise a way. ok so after the date we would take a long, and romantic walk on the shore of a beach and he would have a table ready there on the beach. there would be lighted candles, tons of roses, and a chocolate for dessert (because he would know that i love chocolate) right next to the table in the sand there would be roses petals spelling out "will you marry me" and he would come behind me with a single rose...and in that rose there would be a ring, and then (if i said yes) we would have a romantic kiss...ok i cant really explaing it but i can really picture it in my mind. but then again im just 15...

Ok i'm not a guy so I can't give you a guy's point of view but, from my point of view, I think that's really sweet what you are trying to do. And she must be an amazing woman because it sounds like you really love her and don't want to lose her. Please don't take what I'm fixing to write to offense, but I think if yall are in college I wouldn't give her the promise ring. Reason being, yall aren't 15-16 years old anymore. Yall are in college, old enough to do what yall want live together old enough to get married. A promise ring to me is for teenagers. If yall already talked about what you want when you get of college and including getting married, go with the engagement ring. Trust me, well I'm not your girlfriend, but I'm sure she will feel and understand what I'm telling you. Now because I said don't get the promise ring for her get the engagement ring doesn't mean you have to do that. This yall's life you make the desicion I'm giving you my and many other womens point of view. I hope I was able to help.

If the relationship is right - it would be very flattering.\n\nI kind of like the idea that it's out of the rut.  You know, guys are supposed to hit a knee, take her hand in his, yadda, yadda.\n\nA woman who asks?  Originality!  Big points.\n\nDownside?  If he's not expecting it: Pressure.\n\nAnd what a story down the line - "I never asked her to marry me - she asked me!"  \n\nCool!

Yah. But what exactly does he want?

Instead of him telling you that if that's what YOU want then go ahead and do it, which doesn't sound very convincing on his part to me, he needs to actually say directly that yes that is what I want to do too, not if that's what makes YOU happy because he isn't including himself in that equation and that kind of leaves him room to get himself out of it if he up and decides to take off before hand. So no I wouldn't make plans just yet not til you hear him say He is ready and wanting to and he buys you an engagement ring. Then if that happens you can probably be more sure of it being a true thing.

of course sHe can give you one. she just wantsa make sure you dont get away cause you were drunk one night with no ring. she wantsa keep ya safe. it is very possible. its just like when a girl proposes. it doesnt happen often but when it does take it as a majior complement!!!

well...i personally like surprises...but you also dont want a ring you dont like. I say let the guy know what type of jewlery you like. you can kind of give him an idea by saying "oooo thats really pretty" when you see a ring you like on display. It doesnt even have to be a ring tho it could be a necklace or a bracelet too just to let him know what type of jewlery you are in too.

it might mean something, but might be just a date... be happy as it means he is not ashamed of you and takes you with him... he wants you get involved into hes lives so he would expect be involved to yours too... but it doesn't mean that he is going get you a proposal the next day... just relax and enjoy your time...

The right time is when you're ready to put a ring on her finger.  Generally, unless you're playing around, this is after about a year of exclusive dating.

Oh sweet Jesus don't tell him teddy bears and chocolates woman, what's wrong with you?? That is the sickest thing I've heard. Tell him not to buy anything at all until he gets to know her a bit better. I'm sure it won't ruin their night and the next time they meet up he can get something that he has thought of himself. If a guy bought me a teddy bear, on a first date or if we had been seeing each other for a while, it would go at the bottom of the wardrobe and he would get slagged off to hell for it. The best impression he can give her is to be sincere, honest and generally good company. Ask her questions, don't boast about job/personal wealth/car etc......don't allow an awkward bill situation to arise and pay for dinner. See her home and make arrangements to see her again within the next few days if things have gone well. Give her your best kiss ever. \n\nIf he is going to bring anything at all tell him a small bunch of flowers. Tulips are good and the red ones mean "Believe in me" - a good starting gesture.

First off its cool that a guy thinks that much about a proposal. most men dont think about things like that anymore. I think you should go to a nice resturant and having the ring slipped into a glass of white wine!!!!

I want him to bring me my friend to my door with an engagement ring.

Be honest witn your boyfriend. It was very sweet of him to get you a promise ring, but accidents to happen. If he loves you, then he may be a little disappointed but it will be ok.\n\nMention to him that you found one just like it online and that you would like to get it. If he offers to get it for you, then let him. You can do something special for him in return. And if he's ok with the idea but doesn't offer to buy it for you, then go ahead and get it. \n\nHopefully it will eventually turn up somewhere. But if you try to secretly replace it and it turns up after that, you would have some explaining to do. - Just tell him what's going on.\n\nDo the two of you live together and use the same car? Could it have gotten lost at his place or in his car where you wouldn't have found it?

My husband proposed to me without any drama, on the shore of a lake, in total seclusion. He told me afterwards he knew he was going to propose to me long before but he hadn't known where, when, or how. We went to the lake on a whim out of sheer boredom, horsed around for a bit, and watched the sunset over the lake. Shortly after the sunset all the way he pulled me close, kissed me, and then whispered into my ear his proposal. No getting down on one knee, no elaborate speech. He hadn't even found a ring yet. He said he just knew the moment was right. There had been no advance planning, no elaborate set-up, just a feeling that he had found the perfect moment, and honestly, to know that my guy was that sensitive and that caring to pop the question when there was no ring and no formal set up was amazing to me. He asked at that exact moment for no other reason then it felt right. But I'm a romantic sap.\n\nA few weeks later we went and picked out the engagement ring/wedding set together.  I wouldn't have had it any other way.
