i think it sounds like a cute idea. :)

Thanks. I thought it would be fun to do>



What is the point? You do not need a symbol imo.


Actually this happen this last Sunday. We have a guy that hits on every one that walks into our singles group. After being told not to hit on my gal pal he still hasn't got it.. I just thought it might be a nice nonverbal way of telling him to buzz off.

You never told me you were dating someone!!!!

Well if you asked me 6 months ago I would of said that wasn't. I haven't date in very long time and had forgotten some of the rules. Such as not to flirt with waitress and other things as a single male that I did that I thought was harmless but wasn't.

Congratulations.

And I like the idea of the rings for you and your girl, but not for suggesting to the group.

:hug:

I would never suggest that for the group. I might tell the group what the meaning of the rings are thu. Actually I thought that it might work as visiable accoutablity item for both of us.

Is this what prompted you to think about getting rings? If so, I don't think you should do it. End of the day, if you can trust your girlfriend does it matter if she is wearing a ring that says she is going out with you? If on the other hand she wanted to flirt with this guy, a ring would not stop her. JMO

Actually I thought it remind her that I was indeed loyal to her. That she had my heart and she could trust me. But alast we had some real issues. i had some red lights flashing at the start of this relationship. She was much in a hurry to get it rolling along to a commitment line from me. Because I had some issue in the past with an old gal pal who was a stalker. I told her about it now I wish I didn't say anything. But it has been months since I had the problem. I told stalker gal to stop it and she did. But my new gal pal wouldn't trust me.

I have a position in the leadership of the class that took up a portion of my time and she was upset about that. Even if I would spend 8 hrs with her on a date it wasn't enough. It also meant that i had to talk to people of the other sex which I discovered that every time I talk to a gal my gal pal became upset with me. So there was some real issues...

So really this was a dead issue, the rings the relationship the whole ball of waxs is over. All that i have learn is to never tell about the old gal pals even if asked......

sweet I'm doing ok. I'm just a little hurt. sweet it's a matter of trust. There were also questions about me going out to bars that had the wrong type of entertainment. As a matter of record I have little use of such places. If I tell you that I don't go to those places I don't.

Thanks ceh85. I think really the best thing that I learned from the whole adventure is to turn all things over to God. Perhaps we didn't pray enough about the relationship. I think we were trying to force it along, trying to make grow faster instead of getting really to know each other. Let it go slow.

That sounds like very good advice, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you've been able to learn from the experience :)
