So you want to surprise her and not let her know you
need her ring size? You want to be sly about it and get her to tell you, but you don't want to
plant any seeds about the big engagement or grand proposal you have planned?
So how do you get her Engagement Ring size without her knowing? Here's how...
Many guys have this dilemma, they want to get the correct finger size for the Engagement Ring, but don't want to ruin the surprise. It's a tricky situation. I mean when you give it to her you want the ring to fit don't you? So you're stuck with either asking her or what I like to say, fudging it! And bear in mind, fudging it is NOT guessing!
There is no absolute perfect way to do this little task secretly. But there are ways around it. And also remember one very important thing: The Engagement ring is the ring finger on the LEFT hand! (So if you take her hands in yours, it's your Right Side!) You'd be surprised how many people don't know which is the correct hand for the Engagement and Wedding Rings. I bring that up while I'm thinking about it, because there's another huge factor, the ring finger of the Left hand is not the same size as the ring finger of her Right hand! WHAT? Her hands are different sizes? How odd!
But nope, everybody's hands are not equally sized. Your dominant hand will usually always be about a half size bigger than the other. An no jokes here about why one hand is bigger than the other... it's just a fact, deal with it! Most people don't know this, but it's true. So be careful you're getting the correct size of the correct finger. It would be a shame to go through all this trouble and still get it wrong! So how do you get that ring size without planting any suspicions?
There are lots of ways around this. First off, forget the old "Try this on, I just want to see how it looks on your finger!" Those tactics are old and worn and will not work. Plus it will immediately plant seeds of marching down the isle! Don't do it! I repeat Don't do it! You may think that you're slick, but I assure you...she's slicker!
So the best way to get her finger size without ruining the surprise is this...
