\"Don't<\/div>\n

I see it happen all the time. Ladies will come in to the jewelry store to look at our beautiful engagement rings<\/strong>. The problem is…<\/p>\n

They already have one!<\/h2>\n

\nTheir engagement ring is sitting on their finger for all to see. So why are they looking at more rings?<\/strong> Why are these women unhappy? <\/p>\n

\nBecause they didn’t get the ring they wanted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe one that they dreamed of. The engagement ring that they really want sits in the case, while the ugly step-sister sits on their finger. Now what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does this happen?<\/h2>\n

\nIt happens, because women let it happen…<\/strong> (Well, most of the time.)<\/p>\n

\nYou see, it’s all about that little word called “romance<\/strong>“. Women want to be romanced. They want their proposal to be wonderful, memorable, and a SECRET<\/strong>. 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?<\/p>\n

You can’t have both:<\/h2>\n

\nEither you leave hints and know what ring you’re getting, or you get surprised and possibly hate it. Not a great choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBut to accomplish this, women will need to step up their game and get better at planting seeds<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nThis is because most men are horrible at picking our rings, and might not even pick up on your subtle hints (You have to hit them over the head with a frying pan<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Leaving hints:<\/h2>\n

\nThe 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 them. Men have no clue… usually.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis is the time when women need to start dropping clever hints<\/strong>. Pointing out engagement rings in a magazine, dragging him into jewelry stores “JUST TO LOOK<\/strong>“, commenting on a friend’s ring, things like that.<\/p>\n

\nYou 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 unsightly ring that you’ll have to wear ‘till death do you part<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n

Big hints:<\/h2>\n

\nI 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<\/strong>. Give him visual clues.<\/p>\n

\nSeriously! <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

\nSo women need to leave 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 ring?)<\/p>\n

But what do you do if your proposal was a surprise?<\/h2>\n

\nWhat then? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nSo you have an engagement ring that you don’t like. He passed on all of your so called “hints<\/strong>“. Now you have an ugly engagement ring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nWhat’s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDo you tell him? Do you hurt his feelings?<\/strong> Are you going to have to wear that monstrosity forever?<\/p>\n

\nMaybe, maybe not!<\/strong> But you should act fast and handle the situation quickly (While the jeweler still has an exchange policy.<\/strong> Most exchange policies are from a week to 3 months. It varies from jeweler to jeweler).<\/p>\n

Here’s what I advise:<\/h2>\n

\nFind a reason to get a different engagement ring… Come up with something that sounds plausible like:<\/p>\n
