My partner (29M) and I (24F) are getting engaged this year, and I’ve been thinking about how to give him hints about the kind of ring I’d love.

I don’t want to be too upfront and spell everything out, because I know he takes pride in choosing it himself and sees it as a meaningful token of love. I completely respect that but at the same time, I’d rather not end up with a ring that isn’t quite my style.

I feel the same about the proposal. I know I’ll be happy no matter what, but I do dream of something intimate and outdoors, with flowers and candles. I’m just not sure how to hint at that without taking away from the surprise. I don’t think sending a whole pinterest board is very subtle.

For those who are engaged: how did you take the hint about what she liked ? Did she share her preferences upfront and if so, how specific was she ?

And if you’re not engaged yet, how do you plan on choosing the ring ?

For those who are engaged: what does your ring look like compared to what you originally imagined? Did you share your preferences, and if so, how specific were you? Do you love the final result?

And if you’re not engaged yet, how do you picture it ?

Thank you!
