woman only wear engagement rings so that others may know she is already own, when men don't. It all goes to the ice age when they would just take the women by the hair and claim them. Now in modern day time its symbolized with a ring. i want you to know though. that this is not proven. its just my opinion.

They can. My fiance started wearing a cheap ring on his ring finger to get used to it so I replaced that ring with a nice ring he can wear on his other hand after we are married.

In the US, men do not wear engagement rings, only wedding bands. There are some other cultures however, where both the man and woman exchange engagement rings (i.e., Arab/Muslim cultures).

You do not have to get him a engagement ring, If you want to you can but it is not necessary. My FH loves rings so he has one, but that is a personal choice.

US i think not overly normal, where i am from yes, the rings are identical (just like wedding rings are), and sometimes use the same ring for engagement and marriage...and thats one thing we'll do the european style when the day come (managed to find myself a lovely US boy)

if you want to, then *chough* a lot of americans have european roots, so just look back to how they do it in the countries you got ancestors and blame it on yanking old tradtion from there ;)

Not here in the US. Guys only wear wedding bands here. Many females don't wear promise rings either, only engagement rings and wedding bands.

Yes you need to get him a wedding band. Dont worry, you can get a simple gold one starting at $40
