Hey, I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 and a half years.
We are really happy together, no major problems.

About 7 months ago he told me he was going to get me a promise ring…and he still hasn’t gotten it.

I asked him when he was planning on getting me the promise ring…he said he’s just waiting for the right time…….

But that just doesnt seem to be a good enough answer. What it taking him so long….I feel it’s been too long.

What should I do? Or say to him?

Start dating other men. That’s my advice.

Two and a half years is too long at what I assume your age to be, since you didn’t tell me, for you to wait around for…. a commitment, if in fact that’s what you want. Dating as long as you two have means a promise ring is inappropriate, barring special circumstances. An engagement ring with a diamond involved is what he should be giving you if he’s at all respectful of you.

Download my book, Think & Date Like A Man, at this link: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url]; read it; and start dating other guys who are more likely to be Mr. Right. You don’t need to waste your time (or his) any more since he’s so uncertain. Take responsibility for your own life. 😉

I’m 22 years old and he’s 23.

I’ve been waiting for my promise ring for about 7 months since he told me.

When I was asked him a while back what a promise ring meant to him, he said it mean we would get married someday. He also said it might be a promise ring, it might be “something else”
I’m thinking an enga
All I want is for him to come through with what he said…I want some commitment.
He’s waiting for the right time…but its making me go crazy and think he’s never gonna do what he says.

It’s one thing to want something the way you want him to come through. It’s another thing to accept reality. Your boyfriend isn’t quite ready for a serious commitment and you are. You have to decide how much longer you’re going to wait for him. Because you don’t have a time frame in mind, you’re making yourself upset and crazy.

My advice is to start dating other men now.

7 months of waiting is too much and his answer “waiting for the right time” is unacceptable. first of all, he’s the one who gave you an idea that he will give you a promise ring but now he can’t meant his words. Try to distance him so he could see your worth.
