Picking out the right engagement ring can be tricky because
1.) you want to find an engagement ring she likes, and
2.) you also have to keep it a surprise.
Quite a conundrum. So how can you find out what rings she likes without giving away your whole master plan? According to jewelry designer Whiteflash, she advises troubled guys to watch their girlfriends carefully for hints.
Women often give clues about their preferences. Does she:
- Admire someone else’s ring while you’re in earshot?
( Or alternatively, does she dislike a specific style? )
- Linger in front of certain jewelry store windows?
- Leave magazines with jewelry pictures lying around?
- Draw your attention to a ring in some off-handed way?
Chances are she’s subtly communicating what she has in mind.
Exaaactly. Unless you both have talked openly about buying the ring together, then the actual discussion is probably all hush-hush. The only way around it is through subtle hints to nudge the other in the right direction. Some couples might hate this game, but depending on the couple, it might work. The rule here for guys is to not make assumptions. Make sure you know what she likes before you buy the ring.
