its been ages since i last started a new topic but this thread is for serious replies because it concerns my future...
lately, whenever my gf and i go out, she would walk in and out of jewellery shops, looking at the rings on sale...it must be noted tat she doesnt only look at expensive ones but also cheap ones...also she is not one who clad herself wif lots of accessories...
juz last nite, it suddenly dawned on me if she could be hinting me abt our engagement...we have discussed alot concerning our future like marriage, kids and our future home...one thing she did say a few times to me is that we can 1st have engagement ring then wedding ring...so wad do u forumers tink? is she hinting me concerning engagement from her actions???
i thk it's obvious. just do it~!
are you ready to pop the question? if you are, time to buy ring loh..
and if you aren't ready, then in the meantime continue to pretend not to take the hint. :)
If u not sure what she's acting, then ask her directly.
If u truely love her, then rom first.
Easiest way to ask:
When do you think is a good time to have a kid?
When do you think we should have a place we call our own?
Or do it the man's way.
Not to scare you (ts), marriage takes lots of committment and financial strain (housing and kids and parents), lots of times spend on children, household chores and money set aside for family expenses. Can you do this?

真的�?
currently, we are not looking at kids yet...so its more of enjoying and going thru life as a couple for say another 1-2years...tat alone we can manage...financially, no worries...household chores, we have experienced doing tgr(cos i stay over at her place on wkends)...so far so gd...
Engagement is about putting down committment of both parties in black and white. If you are ready for marriage soon, just sign the engagement paper and prepare for the next stage to marriage.
Are you asking here is it too early to be tie down?
no...i am asking if she is hinting(from her actions mentioned above) tat she wants me to buy her an engagement ring...we have plans to seriously start planning come June...

Two things:
1 - Be a man and bring her in to check out on rings.
2 - Ask her straight in her face.
You will have your answer.
From what I gathered, is it very obvious for both of you to advance to engagement stage after time spent talking, discussion and thoughts? Hinting or not, she wants some actions from you.

Think deeper, your subscious mind is "asking is it to early"? Trust me, you havce some fear in you!!!

She has the answers. You can ask 1000 people in the forums but only she has the answer.
We can ASSuME
i noe tat but theres this thing in r/s esp wif gals...dont ask them for direct answers, it sort of kills the suspense and fun...plus, if u ask for direct answers, somehow i feel it may blow the chances...i dunno...wad do u tink?
It is very obvious she is hinting you.

If you want to surprise her, avoid rings, unless you want marriage (and you are ready for failures)
Not even with engagement rings.
What we translate based on your words may not be related to what she is looking for. It is best to ask yourself whether you think it is the right time for the question.

Lol, isn't it obvious? You know the answer in you.
TS, it seems you not only miss out on your gf hints about buying a ring... but you are also missing out on her hints about which type of rings she likes.... that is the more important question! the hint that you should buy a ring is so obvious that its not even a hint... the hint about which ring she likes is the one you should try to understand lah!
Take note which ring she likes so you can buy the right one... after that, i'm sure you don't need our help to think of how to propose....

真�明
She is not hinting.
She is scouting for ideas. Just in case.
You getting engaged to her, or she getting engaged to you?
Maybe you should check out jewellery shops too.
Be sure, be very sure, about your future. Don't just move along accordingly.
Otherwise you will get the engagement ring, the wedding ring and then the suffering
