I see it happen all the time. Ladies will come in to the Jewelry Store to look at our beautiful Engagement Rings. The problem is...
They already have one!
Their Engagement Ring is sitting on their finger for all to see. So why are they looking at more Rings? Why are these Women unhappy? Because they didn't get the Ring that they wanted.
The one that they dreamed of. The Engagement Ring that they really want sits in the case, while an ugly one sits on their finger. Now what?
What are the options?
Why does this happen? What can be done about it?
It happens, because Women let it happen! (Well, most of the time!)
You see, it's all about that little word called "Romance". Women want to be romanced. They want their proposal to be wonderful, memorable, and a secret. But at the same time, they want the Ring they want. They know what Ring will make them happy. I mean, they do have to look at it for the rest of their lives. Can you blame them? Why shouldn't they get the one they want? Right?
You can't have both!
Either you leave hints and know what Ring you're getting, or you get surprised and hate it! Not a nice choice!
But to accomplish this, Women will need to step up and get better at planting seeds. Why? Because most Men are horrible at this and don't pick up on subtle hints. (You have to hit them over the head with a frying pan!)
Leaving Hints
The good thing is, Women are great at knowing when to start leaving hints. Women know before Men where the relationship is heading, and when it's pointing in that marriage direction, they see the signs. They sense it. It's natural instinct for Women. Men have no clue!
This is the time that Women need to start dropping clever hints. Pointing out Engagement Rings in a magazine, dragging him into Jewelry Stores just to look, commenting on a Friend's Ring, things like that.
You may want the Ring to be a secret. You may want the Romance. But if you don't steer him in the proper direction, you'll end up getting an Ugly Ring that you'll have to wear 'till death do you part'!
Big Hints
I say, leave big hints. Huge hints. Massive clues. Leave pictures of your Dream Ring on your refrigerator! Give him something to go by. Make it easy for him.
Seriously! Guys hate picking out Engagement Rings anyway. They hate it with a passion! A Jewelry Store is the last place that any Guy ever wants to be.
So Women need to leave Big Breadcrumbs in order to get the Ring they desire. Trust me, if you get a Ring that you don't like, that just means that you didn't try hard enough! (Why do you think a lot of Women go with their Man to pick out their Engagement Rings Today?)
But what do you do if your Proposal was a Surprise? What then? Read on...
