When you think about a proposal, the scene that comes to mind would be the romantic proposal scene where the man will go down onto one knee, present a beautiful diamond ring, and ask the woman to marry him. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of women who says that they do not need an engagement ring. They may say that it is not necessary, but do they really not want it? For such an important event like a once-in-a-lifetime proposal, you would want to be well-prepared to reduce the chances of failure. To prevent any regrets for the both of you, we shall discuss the honest opinions of women with regards to receiving an engagement ring.
Engagement Ring. Yes or No?
According to a survey done in Japan, about 70% of the women answered that yes, they would want to receive an engagement ring from their significant other during proposal. An engagement ring is something that all girls look up to, but it is also a symbol of love, the sign of commitment that your significant other have in the relationship and wanting to spend the rest of his life with you. Also, it is a memento to remember this once-in-a-lifetime proposal, which is why the majority of the women want to receive an engagement ring.
So why then do the remaining 30% not want an engagement ring? Let’s find out. In comparison to the marriage ring where one can wear it on a daily basis, the opportunity to wear an engagement ring is really quite limited. As engagement rings usually includes a diamond or gem, many women choose not to wear it for fear of damaging or losing it. Therefore, it seems that some people think that they really don’t need an engagement ring. One of the main reasons of why they say they do not need an engagement ring is due to their consideration for the men’s financial ability. The price of an engagement ring was about 3 months’ worth of the men’s salary in the past. However, in recent years, the average price of an engagement ring ranges from about SG$500. Hence, buying an engagement ring is a huge financial burden for the men. Not wanting their significant other to go into debt for an engagement ring, some women would say that they do not need an engagement ring.
Those that say they don’t need an engagement ring, regretted it in the end.
Due to reasons such as financial ability and age, some women will jump to the conclusion that they do not need an engagement ring. Perhaps deep in their heart, these women do want to receive an engagement ring, but they will force themselves to say, “No. I don’t need it!” If you take their words as it is, you might hurt their feelings. To prevent such a thing from happening, you must always communicate with her and find out her true feelings. An engagement ring is also a sign that you are financially stable enough to support her.
Happy to receive an engagement ring even though they said it is unnecessary
It doesn’t mean that women who says they don’t need it really don’t want it. Even if they said they don’t need it, ask them further questions such as “Let me know buy when you want it, I’ll buy it for you.” Or “Do not hesitate to let me know.” Or “Do you have anything else you want?”. This way you will be able to find out if she really meant what she said. Even if she really meant what she said, she will still feel happy when you propose with an engagement ring.
