Fathers....question for you?

Question

I'm 14 right now, and for my 16th birthday, I was thinking of asking my dad for a promise ring(no s*x before marriage)

Is this a good idea? Would you be creeped out or honored?

Answer 1

ok I'm not a dad but I asked for one this year and I'm not turning 16 but he didn't even question me he just gave me a hug and said good for you. most dads should be honored and it is a cool thing.

Answer 2

OK, one thing at a time: A promise ring is a ring a boy gives a girl when he promises to ask her to marry him sometime in the future - it's like a pre-engagement ring, stupid if you ask me, but that's not the point. A purity ring, which seems like what you want, is supposed to be a reminder or something of the sort of your decision to not have s*x before marriage.

Second of all, why wait until you're sixteen? Why not ask him now? Lots of girls have s*x before they're sixteen, and trust me, there's nothing magical about the number, other than the fact that you can get a permit.

That leads to the third point: Go ahead and ask him. Most fathers I know would at least be happy that they won't have to worry about their daughters having s*x before they're married, or getting pregnant out of wedlock, or whatever (which are either very bad or just OK things to different people, but from what you've said I think your family would consider them to be bad).

Answer 3

Good Girl.....If you were my daughter I would be very pleased to see you have turned out to be the lady I raised. There's nothing wrong with it, he should be very happy.

Answer 4

maybe i'm confused,but isn't the boy friend supposed to give the promise ring.is your dad your boy friend.are you from the south?i know people from the south marry relatives.this sounds sick.

Answer 5

I think it has to be your decision and it is a decision you will never regret. However, I dont see that your father has to be involved at all other than in your knowledge that he raised you to be a smart person by waiting until marriage. I think that this new custom has some psychological transference mechanism to fathers that might be difficult to undue when the time of marriage occurs so for that reason I say do it on your own. Make a promise to yourself!

Answer 6

yes is good idea if you don't want s*x before marriage
