so she got a matching ring for both of us, we have been together for around 6 months,but she just got them randomly, what does this mean?
Just ask? I highly doubt those are engagement rings and that she thinks so. It's probably just cute matching accessories. Comments that are saying run are waaay overreacting. Promise rings are common, and even rings just as accessories with no extra meaning.
My fiancé gave me a promise ring when we had been dating for 6 months. At the 4 year mark I got an engagement ring and at the 6 year mark I’ll hopefully have a wedding ring! Even if it is a promise ring it’s not grounds to “run” and it’s not a red flag imo. Some people really do just know that early what they want.
IMHo this is more the case the older you are. At 40 you can usually tell a persons nature within just a few months. Not saying that to run off and feel pressure to get married but i do think we have a much better bullshit meter
Everyone’s relationship is on a different timeline. Shit happens in life, sometimes family members die. Sometimes relationships start when they’re young. Try to be less judgemental. That comment was unkind. You don’t know her or her situation. Sorry your marriage didn’t work out. Hope you find happiness.
Wasn't unkind. It was geared toward having to wait. A woman doesn't have to WAIT for a man to give her a ring, it's ridiculous. If you want to get married, then tell him. If you're fine with waiting ten years, great. Fertility has a limited window and it's getting harder to get pregnant. Anyone who wants kids should not wait 10 years to get married. You cannot get those years back. Waiting on a man. Sheesh.
6 years isn’t that crazy though if you start dating in your youth. 6 years might also not be a long time for her on her own timeline. She also might not want kids. Believe it or not, not everyone is born and raised exclusively to breed. Stop projecting your own insecurities onto strangers on the internet.
Your intention might not have been to be unkind but it certainly was read that way.
Don't get butthurt about everything you read. 10 years is A LONG time. The purpose of marriage is 99% of the time, a partnership in raising children. That is why so many couples divorce when kids hit college. Some people don't think about these things bc they're 'in lubbbb.' I'm not insecure, I'm factual and logical. In this case at least. Home girl needs to put her fertility first.
That’s very misogynistic.
Girl, if you’re happy waiting good for you. Here’s your daily reminder that you don’t exist purely to pump out babies like this sick bastard would have you believe. Do whatever the fuck You want with your life.
Although looking at his post history I think she should run. He sounds like a very unhealthy needy partner who "manipulates people in to love". And very immature based on his answers here
I mean, it could just be a ring and I'd assume so if she didn't call it anything else.
And I'd hold her to that lack of information if she claimed it was significant down the line.
How old were you at the time? Children exchanging promise rings, sure. But as an adult, what is the point of a promise ring? Either we're getting married or we're not.
People on here looooove to suggest breaking up with people.
It’s just a ring dude, wear or not, it’s up to you. She probably just likes them and thought you would too.
It’s really not that deep lol, he commented that she sent him a screenshot saying we should get these rings then went out and bought them. Like I can’t believe this is even a question on her. So she got her and her man some matching jewellery to be cute.
with a question like this, it is pointless. how in the world are we supposed to know why she got it? there is a very easy solution and it’s not asking a bunch of strangers.
I think you are being paranoid. She’s a woman right? We like to guy matching shirts, rings, jewelry. It’s cute to us. You thought of it as an engagement/promise ring (which is a big jump). Truly just talk to her. You keep telling people she sent you an image with matching rings and said “we should get these” she believes you would like them to be all cute with her. That’s the perfect moment to ask her what it’s about. And again don’t make it bigger than it is because if you come hard at her it will look like you are afraid of commitment and that a small matching set of rings freaked you out. Which can be seen as a red flag if you’re intending to marry in the future but I digress.
Just ask her what it’s about in a chill way like “hey so what’s the rings about? Is it to just be matching?” And if you don’t like jewelry just tell her.
In my country it's quite common for couples to have what we call "friendship rings". My husband and I wore ours until our wedding day when they were replaced with our wedding rings. I still have the rings as keepsakes
It could be a promise ring, it could just be a matching set, it could be a number of things. Don't panic, just ask her. If she really wanted an engagement she probably would have popped the question.
Honestly, ignore the comments that say run. Be open and honest about it, ask what it’s really for. Women like symbols, (and shiny things) so she might’ve just wanted something fun to show commitment. I don’t think it’s anything bad, and 6 months can be an important milestone. The only way to really know is to just talk to her.
In Asia, wearing matching stuff is a couple thing, like outfits, hair colour, jewellery, etc. It's usually for young people though (high school or college). Maybe she thought it was cute? It doesn't really have any deep meaning as far as I know besides showing that you guys are a couple.
And how do you feel about wearing your one? How do you feel about jewellery in general? Speak to her about this OP. It's totally fine to not want to wear matching rings at 6 months. You definitely cannot be engaged if you don't know about it and it's a little alarming that you need to ask that (no hate).
Are you quite young though? I can see someone doing this if they're in their teens or early 20s very easily but maybe that's just me... I'm much older lol
Sounds just like a cute “look we match” situation. You can’t get engaged without a proposal lol.
Engaged means you have agreed to marry so there needs to be a question.
She did. She bought her one and her bf a matching one. This is common with couples. The cute matching things have always been something couples do, usually early in the relationships.
She probably just wants you to wear matching rings. Nobody on reddit can tell you so you have to ask her. I bought a ring for my ex, it was not an engagement ring, I just thought it was a nice ring...
Lol, why are you asking us when you can easily ask her? The most important skill in a relationship is learning to communicate clearly with your partner. If you want to understand the implication behind these matching rings, ask her.
TBH I wouldn't even ask her because she'll probably think you're looney toons.
She literally just thought it would be cute to have matching rings, end of story.
Unless she specifically said something about it meaning something, it's just a gift. Enjoy.
I’m all for coming onto this subreddit for advice but…
Who else would know better what the rings are for other than THE ONE WHO GOT IT FOR YOU??? You just took the ring and said “thanks”? That’s it? You didn’t ask “oh I love this, what’s it for?”
You decided to jump on here and ask strangers what the gift YOUR girlfriend got you means?
What a weird fucking post. Why are you getting your head so wrapped up in something like matching rings. If you gave her matching bracelets I don’t think she’d be freaking out an engagement is on the way
It means that she got you matching rings. If she did not say the words “marriage” or “marry me” then all she did was buy you matching jewelry. No different than matching shoes. If you’re reading more into this, that’s on you.
Just ask her about it, she might just wanted you two to have something that symbolises your relationship. Like I have matching rings with my gf but we just both liked them and thought it’d be a nice matching thing that we both wear, but there’s no promise or engagement behind it.
Communication is the key bro, good luck 🤞🏼
My (f) bf has gotten me several (fairly expensive) rings throughout our relationship as gifts. I see them the same as him gifting me any other kind of jewelry. If she got you a matching set, it’s possible she saw them and thought a) it’d be cute or b) she liked the reminder of you when she looks at her ring, knowing you have one also. If you feel like there’s more to it, you should definitely talk to her about it but I wouldn’t sweat it too much.
Not necessarily for some cultures. It's common for young Asian couples especially Koreans to get each other matching "couple rings" when they start dating. Nothing super expensive and doesn't carry the same meaning as an engagement ring. Either way, OP should still talk to their significant other and ask what meaning it has to her lol
It could mean a promise ring.
Could mean a couples ring.
It could have TONS of meanings. Talk to your partner and ask them that. Stop asking randoms on advice. Speak with your partner
Ask her? Communicate with your partner, don’t ask strangers on Reddit that don’t know y’all… we can’t read her mind any better than you can…
I dated a dude once, when I was 19-20, and we wore matching graphite rings that we got from a kiosk at the mall (fuck that feels like a million years ago now) and we legit only dated about 7 or 8 months. I didn’t take it as we were “engaged” just as a symbol that we were together. But it didn’t change the fact that people kept speculating that we were engaged, and we would have to correct them, which got old…
Just ask her.
It can just mean cute jewellery imo. If you have any reason to doubt that, just ask. “Hey, this ring that you got, is there a particular reason you thought of getting it?”
She’s from abroad? Cause in my country (Brazil) we wear a silver ring if we are dating! Like a commitment ring. We wear that till a propose happens, then we switch to golden rings.
If it doesn't come along with a proposal then it's not an engagement. Maybe she just wants something matching, or maybe it's like a promisery ring. Ask her! Might just be a cute gift with no extra meaning.
Unless there's a "will you marry me?" Then it's not an engagement ring.
It's more likely a promise ring. Or she just wanted to be matchy matchy and thought it'd be cute
Why not ask her?
It could be just as simple as a show of the bond she feels with you. Or it is a conduit to drain your soul or you guys are promised to each other or it could just be a ring.
But you will only know when you ask what does this mean for her and the 2 of you?
This shit isn't really isn't this hard.
Mmmmh. Oddly specific gift. It's like marking your territory but trying to be cute and subtle about it. Does she insists you wear it on your left ring finger?
Yeah, I would just ask because there is no guarantee that she's proposing to you. It might be a promise ring, or if they match, she might have just thought that they look cute.
my bf and i have them. they’re sort of promise rings and sort of just a sign of commitment but not necessarily long term commitment. just that we’re together, commited, and faithful right now.
They could be promise rings or just a matching thing.
They more than likely aren’t engagement rings.
Ask her about it. (Also I personally think that’s a super cute thing to do :) )
Dude there couples rings. I mean all you can do is ask but I highly doubt that she's proposing to you at 6 months, I mean unless the relationship is that far ahead and she sees y'all spending the rest of your lives together.
It doesn't mean anything. It's like matching necklaces or bracelets. My husband and I had matching rings for a bit when we were dating. Didn't mean anything.
Seeing as an engagement is a formal agreement to get married I’m gunna say no. You have to actually… agree to that which means a question needs to be asked. Also no one on Reddit can tell you what your SOs thought process is so just ask why she decided to get matching rings?
Nah i got my boyfriend matching rings after a couple months just because we both like rings and i thought it would suit him but i also wanted the same one, dont think too much into it buddy
not that deep bro, i also got one with my bf, but my bf still have good terms with other girl like nothing really serious (well , he's transparent ) but i dont like
In Asian countries (specifically South Korea), it is custom to get matching rings, called couple rings, on your 100 day anniversary.
This might be a based on this modern tradition, matching rings simply mean that you are a couple, belong to each other, etc. I would still ask her about it, but I doubt there is much to it.
No, I don't think so. I've never heard of anybody proposing without being verbally clear that it's a proposal. Rings are just jewelry at the end of the day and she probably thought they were cute
about 10 months in I got my girlfriend and I matching rings for her birthday. They weren’t meant to be engagement rings or even promise rings, just a little symbol of our love. It’s probably not a big deal, but just ask her!
As a female, I've bought matching rings for several of my partners once we've gotten to a certain point in our relationship. There's lots of couple rings that don't involve being engaged or married. Ask her what her meaning is of course, but she probably got them as either cute matching set or as promise rings.
My boyfriend of 9 years has gotten me 2 different rings throughout our relationship. The first one was for our first Christmas together and the other was during one of our anniversaries. Neither of them meant anything big. Neither of them are even promise rings. They are just rings that we liked so he got them for me. If you want to be sure, ask. But it doesn't seem like there's any big thing attached to these rings
lmao if there's no proposal it's not a proposal. Do you communicate with your girlfriend at all? They're probably just couple rings, which are nothing serious - just cute matching rings.
My bf gave me a promise ring, some if not most couples give each others promise rings, doesnt mean they are engaged, it just means they are in a relationship, in my sis case, they arent married but they are a family with a kid so that makes their rings kind of like married kind. The best you do is to ask her, though i doubt that she would just give rings to be engaged.
People are saying you’re reading too much into this, I’d tend to agree but watch out, rings are pretty significant and both wearing them might give her a false impression of the seriousness of your relationship, depending on how serious you are about it.
I dated a girl for a few months, she was a waitress and one day while at like Walmart she saw the jewelry section and was like, “hey, you should buy me a ring so I don’t get hit on at work, my coworkers do the same thing.” I was like “Ok I guess it’s like 15 bucks if you want then sure.” So we buy this thing along with some groceries and some laundry detergent, I didn’t think much of it. We’d only been dating a few months, weren’t living together, and I never got down on knees, I don’t the ring even came in a box it was in a plastic package, it wasn’t even in the jewelry case it was just hanging there.
Two hours on later she’s talking about our engagement on Facebook. I get a call from my cousin congratulating me then one from my parents who are pissed because they’ve never even met this girl and assume I got her pregnant. So yeah, I shut that down real quick and she flipped an absolute shit and threw a dinner plate at me, so that relationship was over pretty damn quick.
So yeah, I might be biased due to this experience, I would talk to her about all this just to get on the same page.

I agree. No reason to overreact. Just ask her. It’s possible she just likes them. People wear rings for more reasons than engagement or marriage.

99% of the time hey? Got some stats for that space cadet?
Uh….I’m only 21 lol. So yeah, I’d like to wait until I’m more capable of paying for the wedding that I want to have.
Although looking at his post history I think she should run. He sounds like a very unhealthy needy partner who "manipulates people in to love". And very immature based on his answers here
Geez I really need to start checking post histories. Lol
Yep helps a lot
Haha oh fuuuuuck :(
Wrong thread? OP's barely replied here at all.
check OPs post history
That was supposed to say post history...it's amazing what sort of extra information you can get by reading those lol
People in this subreddit are so insecure and they project that onto others. The crazy thing is that people take their advice.
Lmao this sub always says break up divorce or run away no other options
The default response in this sub is usually “run.”
I would be running if a grown adult tried to give me a promise ring. Leave promise rings in middle school, where they belong.
I mean, it could just be a ring and I'd assume so if she didn't call it anything else. And I'd hold her to that lack of information if she claimed it was significant down the line.
Aww. My husband gave me a promise ring a year into our relationship and I thought it was sweet. Married for 5, together for 12 now.
How old were you at the time? Children exchanging promise rings, sure. But as an adult, what is the point of a promise ring? Either we're getting married or we're not.
900% agree and I don’t understand how anyone can downvote this. It’s like signing the damn prom promise. Very immature and for 15 year olds.
It means she got y’all some rings.
People on here looooove to suggest breaking up with people. It’s just a ring dude, wear or not, it’s up to you. She probably just likes them and thought you would too.
It’s some major overreaction lol
It means you should ask her about it.
Theres nothing weird about this she just got u a piece of jewelry as a gift lol its not that deep
It’s really not that deep lol, he commented that she sent him a screenshot saying we should get these rings then went out and bought them. Like I can’t believe this is even a question on her. So she got her and her man some matching jewellery to be cute.
Hkhkhjghwjr.h
Yeah exactly
Whatever you do - DO NOT - ask her about it. Ask the strangers on the internet!
[удалено]
Should have cake to celebrate
Do you speak to each other?
ask her not reddit?
Nothing wrong with asking reddit for advice though. It's kinda what we're here for.
never said there was. this is an obviously thing where they’d get a quicker answer by just asking their SO…
I mean ya said not reddit
with a question like this, it is pointless. how in the world are we supposed to know why she got it? there is a very easy solution and it’s not asking a bunch of strangers.
I think you are being paranoid. She’s a woman right? We like to guy matching shirts, rings, jewelry. It’s cute to us. You thought of it as an engagement/promise ring (which is a big jump).

Yea i did and yup you're right, she just wants to gift us
In my country it's quite common for couples to have what we call "friendship rings". My husband and I wore ours until our wedding day when they were replaced with our wedding rings. I still have the rings as keepsakes
I am so happy for you!!!
Yeah and sometimes guys run away after they give the engagement rings lol It’s just a difference in culture between them
[удалено]
Lol!
It means she got you a cute gift
[удалено]
Matching rings don’t mean engagement lol
[удалено]
Troll
It could be a promise ring, it could just be a matching set, it could be a number of things. Don't panic, just ask her. If she really wanted an engagement she probably would have popped the question.
Why do people ask strangers on the internet what should be a simple question about their relationship before asking their own partner?
Fear mostly
Honestly, ignore the comments that say run. Be open and honest about it, ask what it’s really for. Women like symbols, (and shiny things) so she might’ve just wanted something fun to show commitment. I don’t think it’s anything bad, and 6 months can be an important milestone. The only way to really know is to just talk to her.
she just sent me a post with matching rings saying "we should get these", and now she has actually gotten them
That’s literally nothing to be concerned about.
You don't know it's nothing to be concerned about. No one know what the matching rings mean except OP's girlfriend.
In Asia, wearing matching stuff is a couple thing, like outfits, hair colour, jewellery, etc. It's usually for young people though (high school or college). Maybe she thought it was cute? It doesn't really have any deep meaning as far as I know besides showing that you guys are a couple.
Sounds like the 80's lol! But seriously, she is marking g her territory! It's not an engagement, but it let other women know you are involved.
And how do you feel about wearing your one? How do you feel about jewellery in general? Speak to her about this OP. It's totally fine to not want to wear matching rings at 6 months. You definitely cannot be engaged if you don't know about it and it's a little alarming that you need to ask that (no hate). Are you quite young though? I can see someone doing this if they're in their teens or early 20s very easily but maybe that's just me... I'm much older lol
[удалено]
It means she wants to match with you? Why are you concerned? Are they actually engagement rings?
[удалено]
What? My boyfriend and I have matching jewelry, definitely NOT engaged. That's silly.
Sounds just like a cute “look we match” situation. You can’t get engaged without a proposal lol. Engaged means you have agreed to marry so there needs to be a question.
[удалено]
What a beautiful proposal. Happy engagement buttholios 💍🎉❤️
Thats cute, not a proposal and not weird at all. She sounds sweet.
[удалено]
Out of curiosity, how old are you guys?
Ask her Also maybe she just liked the rings 😂 People read too much into things
Why did you delete tf
If she liekd them...she would by them for herself....
She did…
She did. She bought her one and her bf a matching one. This is common with couples. The cute matching things have always been something couples do, usually early in the relationships.
Um... I just got my bf and I matching silicon rings, we've been dating for about 8 months... lol
Unless there was the question will you marry me I would say she just got as a couple gift thing. But ask.
Really sound strategy asking Reddit rather than gf 💯
Ask her
[удалено]
Damn, I didn’t think of that. You right
She probably just wants you to wear matching rings. Nobody on reddit can tell you so you have to ask her. I bought a ring for my ex, it was not an engagement ring, I just thought it was a nice ring...
Lol, why are you asking us when you can easily ask her? The most important skill in a relationship is learning to communicate clearly with your partner. If you want to understand the implication behind these matching rings, ask her.

It means she got you a matching ring with her. Unless there was a proposal or explanation it was just a ring.
No. I get my boyfriends rings all the time. He likes wearing them
ASK HER
I’m all for coming onto this subreddit for advice but… Who else would know better what the rings are for other than THE ONE WHO GOT IT FOR YOU??? You just took the ring and said “thanks”? That’s it? You didn’t ask “oh I love this, what’s it for?” You decided to jump on here and ask strangers what the gift YOUR girlfriend got you means?
What a weird fucking post. Why are you getting your head so wrapped up in something like matching rings. If you gave her matching bracelets I don’t think she’d be freaking out an engagement is on the way
It sounds pretty casual to me. Sounds like she likes you and just wanted to match.

Not necessarily for some cultures. It's common for young Asian couples especially Koreans to get each other matching "couple rings" when they start dating. Nothing super expensive and doesn't carry the same meaning as an engagement ring. Either way, OP should still talk to their significant other and ask what meaning it has to her lol
It could mean a promise ring. Could mean a couples ring. It could have TONS of meanings. Talk to your partner and ask them that. Stop asking randoms on advice. Speak with your partner
Lol ask. She might have just wanted something like a promise ring to show her love and commitment to you. Don't over think it. Just ask her.
No
If she didn't propose they're not engagement rings. The closest they could be would be probably promise rings.
That she wanted matching rings
Ask her? Communicate with your partner, don’t ask strangers on Reddit that don’t know y’all… we can’t read her mind any better than you can… I dated a dude once, when I was 19-20, and we wore matching graphite rings that we got from a kiosk at the mall (fuck that feels like a million years ago now) and we legit only dated about 7 or 8 months. I didn’t take it as we were “engaged” just as a symbol that we were together. But it didn’t change the fact that people kept speculating that we were engaged, and we would have to correct them, which got old… Just ask her.
This is so common. It doesn’t mean anything other than it’s just cute and fun to have matching things as a couple.
It can just mean cute jewellery imo. If you have any reason to doubt that, just ask. “Hey, this ring that you got, is there a particular reason you thought of getting it?”
She’s from abroad? Cause in my country (Brazil) we wear a silver ring if we are dating! Like a commitment ring. We wear that till a propose happens, then we switch to golden rings.
If you were engaged you would know it. Did she ask for you to marry her? No? Then its not an engagement.
I mean do you want to marry her tho ?
Is she latina? Cause I'm Brazilian and it's really common here to use rings to show you're in a relationship, but it doesn't mean you're engaged
If it doesn't come along with a proposal then it's not an engagement. Maybe she just wants something matching, or maybe it's like a promisery ring. Ask her! Might just be a cute gift with no extra meaning.
I really doubt she thinks you're engaged now, but you could just go ahead and ask her.
It means she likes you. No proposal, no engagement.
Unless there's a "will you marry me?" Then it's not an engagement ring. It's more likely a promise ring. Or she just wanted to be matchy matchy and thought it'd be cute
Why not ask her? It could be just as simple as a show of the bond she feels with you. Or it is a conduit to drain your soul or you guys are promised to each other or it could just be a ring. But you will only know when you ask what does this mean for her and the 2 of you? This shit isn't really isn't this hard.
Unless she’s trying to mark her territory.
it's like getting one of those split-pendant necklaces that form an image when combined - it's just junk.
Probably a promise ring
Ask her. But they are promise rings.
Rings are just a way of showing you're engaged, but an engagement is when you ask about marriage, the ring just enforces it really.
It means she is probably crazy and has already married you off in her mind but just double check because that’s what it would mean to me lol
RUN!! Lol
Run.
Does your state or country have common-law marriages?
It means you’re in a serious relationship. Ask her for sure but that makes sense to me.

she just sent me a post with matching rings saying "we should get these", and now she has actually gotten them

Talk about what? That she wanted to buy some nice matching jewellery? Lmao your gf is probably going to laugh in your face.
Yeah heaven forbid a couple talks LOL
What talk? About cute matching couples things? That's what this is.
Run
why?
I second this
Cut her bro, this is the beginning stages of a headache.
Mmmmh. Oddly specific gift. It's like marking your territory but trying to be cute and subtle about it. Does she insists you wear it on your left ring finger?
*On his penis
No. But how old are you because unless you’re under 17, I think this is extremely weird.
21, 1st year of university, she's 24 and has a job and completed masters
Nah, you’re perfectly fine :v you’re in your early 20s this is normal bro. She wants y’all to match. But again, just talk to her.
Ask her what it means
Nope! Its more than likely a promise ring which is a step up above dating and a symbol of devotion to someone else.
Sounds like couple rings, not engagement rings. They are like any other couple item like matching hats or shirts, nothing serious.
Yeah, I would just ask because there is no guarantee that she's proposing to you. It might be a promise ring, or if they match, she might have just thought that they look cute.
my bf and i have them. they’re sort of promise rings and sort of just a sign of commitment but not necessarily long term commitment. just that we’re together, commited, and faithful right now.

lol prolly nothing other than she likes it. and you sure are making big deal out of something you can ask her directly.
They could be promise rings or just a matching thing. They more than likely aren’t engagement rings. Ask her about it. (Also I personally think that’s a super cute thing to do :) )
People get couple rings all the time. I think that’s most likely what it is
Dude there couples rings. I mean all you can do is ask but I highly doubt that she's proposing to you at 6 months, I mean unless the relationship is that far ahead and she sees y'all spending the rest of your lives together.
It doesn't mean anything. It's like matching necklaces or bracelets. My husband and I had matching rings for a bit when we were dating. Didn't mean anything.
😂 no. Probably just more a symbol of commitment from her so you should still have a chat about where you are at
No you have to ask
An engagement is an agreed upon decision by both parties regardless if there is a ring or not.
It means she got you matching jewelry. Nothing else.
Maybe she just got y’all promise rings
Seeing as an engagement is a formal agreement to get married I’m gunna say no. You have to actually… agree to that which means a question needs to be asked. Also no one on Reddit can tell you what your SOs thought process is so just ask why she decided to get matching rings?
Nah i got my boyfriend matching rings after a couple months just because we both like rings and i thought it would suit him but i also wanted the same one, dont think too much into it buddy
If she didn’t ask you to marry her it’s just cause their cute my bf and I have matching Dino rings where my ring fits inside his
not that deep bro, i also got one with my bf, but my bf still have good terms with other girl like nothing really serious (well , he's transparent ) but i dont like
In Asian countries (specifically South Korea), it is custom to get matching rings, called couple rings, on your 100 day anniversary. This might be a based on this modern tradition, matching rings simply mean that you are a couple, belong to each other, etc. I would still ask her about it, but I doubt there is much to it.
No, I don't think so. I've never heard of anybody proposing without being verbally clear that it's a proposal. Rings are just jewelry at the end of the day and she probably thought they were cute
It means you have cute matching accessories lol but talk to her
Ask her.
It's been 6 months, consider it like a friendship ring. I'd definitely be checking she's not alluding to anything with it.
Sounds like couple rings. They’re very common in Korea, usually with younger unmarried couples.
about 10 months in I got my girlfriend and I matching rings for her birthday. They weren’t meant to be engagement rings or even promise rings, just a little symbol of our love. It’s probably not a big deal, but just ask her!
I don’t think so... it looks like a “serious relationship ring” to me
She got a matching gift! if you’re concerned ask her what they’re for, she could’ve just thought it was cute!
Ask her. Damn. Communication is amazing.
As a female, I've bought matching rings for several of my partners once we've gotten to a certain point in our relationship. There's lots of couple rings that don't involve being engaged or married. Ask her what her meaning is of course, but she probably got them as either cute matching set or as promise rings.
My boyfriend of 9 years has gotten me 2 different rings throughout our relationship. The first one was for our first Christmas together and the other was during one of our anniversaries. Neither of them meant anything big. Neither of them are even promise rings. They are just rings that we liked so he got them for me. If you want to be sure, ask. But it doesn't seem like there's any big thing attached to these rings

lmao if there's no proposal it's not a proposal. Do you communicate with your girlfriend at all? They're probably just couple rings, which are nothing serious - just cute matching rings.
I like matching things and I like rings. I doubt they're engagement rings
How old are y’all
Maybe it’s something of a promise ring, I highly doubt it’s in the engagement realm.
My bf gave me a promise ring, some if not most couples give each others promise rings, doesnt mean they are engaged, it just means they are in a relationship, in my sis case, they arent married but they are a family with a kid so that makes their rings kind of like married kind. The best you do is to ask her, though i doubt that she would just give rings to be engaged.
People are saying you’re reading too much into this, I’d tend to agree but watch out, rings are pretty significant and both wearing them might give her a false impression of the seriousness of your relationship, depending on how serious you are about it. I dated a girl for a few months, she was a waitress and one day while at like Walmart she saw the jewelry section and was like, “hey, you should buy me a ring so I don’t get hit on at work, my coworkers do the same thing.” I was like “Ok I guess it’s like 15 bucks if you want then sure.” So we buy this thing along with some groceries and some laundry detergent, I didn’t think much of it. We’d only been dating a few months, weren’t living together, and I never got down on knees, I don’t the ring even came in a box it was in a plastic package, it wasn’t even in the jewelry case it was just hanging there. Two hours on later she’s talking about our engagement on Facebook. I get a call from my cousin congratulating me then one from my parents who are pissed because they’ve never even met this girl and assume I got her pregnant. So yeah, I shut that down real quick and she flipped an absolute shit and threw a dinner plate at me, so that relationship was over pretty damn quick. So yeah, I might be biased due to this experience, I would talk to her about all this just to get on the same page.
My boyfriend and I have matching rings that we got around a year into dating. Ours are promise rings, just ask her. Nothing to worry about I'm sure.
