Well my father gave my mother a promise ring.  It meant that he had the intention of asking my mother to marry him.  Its like before engagement

I love how everyone seems to think it's a purity ring.

Not synonyms people. Guy above quoting wiki has it right.

Either way, the only girl that got a promise ring from me I haven't talked to in 3 years so...

A promise ring is a ring that is indicative of a serious promise made to oneself or another. In most cases, it's given to a romantic partner to signify a commitment to a monogamous relationship, sometimes as a precursor to an engagement ring. Students sometimes use class rings as promise rings, although this may be less common than in the past.[citation needed] A friend may also bestow a promise ring to another friend to signify their loyalty and/or resolve to remain friends forever.[citation needed] In other cases, a promise ring may just be purchased for oneself as a reminder of a personal promise. Promise rings can be worn on any finger, but those symbolizing pre-engagement are generally worn on the left ring finger; sometimes, the left middle finger or right ring finger is used instead to prevent confusion with an actual engagement ring.

The word promise ring if a boy gets it for a girl. Is pretty much a pre-engagement ring. Just saying I promise we'll stay together, no cheating. The ones given from a father are the abstinent ones...

It doesn't have any meaning other than being a symbol of reassurance, it's not on a level like an engagement ring.

it's just a symbolic and outter way of showing a inner commitment about saving sex til marriage.

It's a reminder to the person and also a symbol to others.

I suppose.

i think you guys are talking about a "purity ring"
a promise ring means you will stay with that person
kind of like an engagement but not as serious..
picklez118 Posted at 1:42 pm on Jan. 8, 2009
you will wait to have sex until marriage

You make a promise, and if you break it, you can't wear the ring or something like that.

The girl that sits ahead of me in Chem has an $800 promise ring. I don't get the allure.
