My Friend Wears an Engagement Ring With Diamonds?

she is not married and doesn't ever plan to be.

Is this weird and would you do it also?

Answer:
Many women do this,they think it will keep them from being hit on.Only problem is that men in bars don't care if your wearing a ring or not.If your at a bar your free game.
why do you care?
She may just like the ring--or the attention.
Your friend may be wearing this ring to keep people from 'coming on' to her ... I've done that, and it WORKS ... and it's her life, not yours, so just forget about it ...
well, maybe she wears it to avoid a relationship because she doesnt want to get married
If the ring is nice hell yeah andsnice most engagement rings are i would
Sometimes it's just fun to fantasize about the future, I don't think it's a big deal. I use to wear my mom's wedding ring around when I was younger.
I guess if I happened to have one floating around that I liked well enough, and I wasn't looking for dates, I might wear it as a way to send out a "not available" signal to anyone thinking of hitting on me.
When I was single, there were times when I wore an "engagement" ring so I wouldn't get hit on so often. Perhaps that's her reason for it. Other than that, are you sure it's an engagement ring and not just a family ring or a ring she likes?
not really, maybe she wants others to think she has someone or she just likes the ring, ether way it up to her
Yes it is wierd, but then again, when I was younger I also had a fake wedding ring so when I went out and all of the drunk guys were hitting on me they would back off once they saw the ring, scared that a hubby would be around the corner.
No it's not and yes I would.
sometimes a woman doesnt like to be hit on and will wear an engagement ring or sometimes they can be used because it belonged to someone such as grandmother or relative that is no longer living (thats why I use mine it belonged to my grandmother) it was passed down to me, and finally maybe she just likes the way it looks.
Not really. I suppose I'm not officially engaged either, so this is only a promise ring. But it's made of gold and diamonds, and my boyfriend and I do plan to marry when we're both older (and a little more mature), I'm out of school, and we're in the financial position to do so.

In the case of your friend, who does not plan to get married, the ring may simply be an expensive gift which symbolizes her commitment to her partner, and not necessarily a promise of marriage.
No, it is not weird. It is protection against guys hitting on you. I use to turn my rings around so that they looked like a wedding band for that reason.
I wear a ring on my finger and I'm not married. You would be surprised at how differently you get treated when you have a "blocker" on and when you don't. It stops every guy you meet from assuming you want to date them. It's a PITA to get hit on when you're running to the store or doing an errand. It makes you more invisible to a likely pursuer. (is that a word?)
i wear enagment rings cuz they are pretty and im 17
like what it says that diamonds r girl bestfriends.me if have ring i also wear even im not yet engage.....fashion statement!!!!!
It is apparent that the people here do not know the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring. The "Engagement Ring IS the one with the Stones". The Wedding band is an uninterrupted circle of love, it has NO Stones.

Your friend is wrong in wearing it unless she plans to marry. If she is using it to ward off men she is only fooling her-self. It's sacred to the sanctity of marriage just as much as the wedding band.
Well, she may just like diamonds and thinks that the ring is pretty. She also may be using the ring to fend off unwanted men. But I bet it is my first suggestion. I love rings, especially diamonds
There's no law that single people can't wear rings with diamonds. She can wear any ring she wants and anytime.
Its different, and says I am taken to the casual observer.

If I was single I would only do it to avoid be hit on, but as a man, the only time I didn't want to be hit on was when I mistakenly went to one floor in a club that was just men in drag, but that is a story for another time.
