promise rings are pretty immature and kinda insulting. From a guys standpoint it looks pretty junior high.
From a female standpoint it looks like you're just doing the bare minimum to keep her interested in the relationship.
One-up the promise ring idea.....try nipple rings!

you might as well give her your letterman's jacket if your gonna give her a promise ring.
yeah, promise ring = I wanted to get engaged but was either:
1. scared of the commitment (not ragging on this one
)
2. too poor to get a nice ring so I got this one instead
prior to the (flame) on me, I guess it depends on your situation but if that's what both of you want then go for it...
if you're doing it to make her happy than one of three things will potentially happen:
1. she'll see right through the gesture and get pissed
2. she'll accept the ring and be happy for a little while until #1 happens
3. she'll be so elated that it happened that she will convince herself that you're happy too and make you miserable
just my Opinion.

dude, I agree wholeheartedly. My girl has been trying to get me to get her one for a while now. Its supposed to show "How much u Love them":bs: All it is is a trophy to show off to their friends. I'd rather get a nice necklace or bracelet. I told my girlfriend when i'm ready to get to that step I'll Just take the whole jump and get her the one ring that matters. I see no difference. Do you???

HEY! my girlfriend wears my letterman jacket all the time... and we're not even in highschool anymore!
if your gf is happy with you're jacket then more power to the both of you! again, this is entirely people-specific.
on a side note:
My letterman jacket was kick ass, a couple of my gfs wanted to wear it but I'd only let them do it in school or when I was otherwise not needing it...

hahaha, yeah i dont have that kind of money. I can only spend like $100.
But she already does anything I want her to do anyway!!! Ok, I know ALOT about promise rings from other gf's of mine and I can understand the significance of it myself. While some think of this as a sign of immaturity, it's not. You're gf is looking for something that shows your commitment to her. Most woman like to have something more concrete than just your love. Older woman like to show off signs of love from their husbands like an expensive & beautiful wedding band, valentine gift of a large teddy bear & red roses, a necklace with an engraving on it, etc. These are all just tokens of love that men have a hard time expressing other than a kiss, a hug or something else. I actually like love notes, or a simple rose on a pillow or something like that. But most young girls like the promise rings. It's a sign of your committment to her. Now, no matter how serious the relationship....and I hate to say this...DO NOT GIVE HER YOUR CLASS RING OR H.S. JACKET. These are things that are yours, and yours alone. They cannot be replaced, so do not give them out! People tend to not take care of something that is sentimental to you because it does not "belong" to THEM. Give her something that is only hers but it has meaning to you as well. Make it something that reminds her of a place or a time you spent together somewhere. Maybe a ring with a rubie to say it reminds you of her lips, saphire for her eyes, etc. Just go with these suggestions and you'll think of something.

If she won't go for that, I gave my wife my class ring. But you have to be careful, if the relationship goes sour it is likely to end up in a toilet somewhere.
Why is everyone calling them "letterman" jackets. They were just letter jackets when I was in school (class of 98, 1898).
My certified gift progression:
1. Nice ring and earrings set, preferably in her birthstone (unless she hates that color). Good Christmas or birthday present.
2. Class ring is a good relationship builder at some point after that.
3. More jewelry, because women want jewelry for some damn reason.
4. Engagement ring
5. Death (yours, about 6 months after the engagement ring
)
