How do you tell youur boyfriend you want a promise ring?

Well, that depends on how you feel about the relationship. A promise ring generally symbolizes a loving commitment for each other with hopes of becoming engaged to get married someday. If you don't feel like you're reading to commit to your boyfriend with hopes of a longlasting relationship, you should let him know. You could say something like, "Thank you. The ring is lovely, but I don't think I'm ready to commit to a deep relationship." But if you're in love and wish to pursue a future with him, simply tell him "Thank you! I love it. And I love you."
