If your definition of engagement is a being is a serious and healthy committed relationship in which you decide at some point in the near future that you are going to get married and you begin making some preliminary arrangements then I'm engaged.
If your definition is having a nice ring shining on your left hand then I'm not engaged. trawlI've noticed that when you tell someone you're engaged their eyes always flicker to your left hand searching for that telltale sign-the ring, and if your hand is lacking that bit of decoration they often seem disappointed and even skeptical of the engagement.
I personally dont mind not having a ring at this time, i dont feel like it is any more binding than the promises we have made to one another. I'd rather not have one now, allowing us time to save and get nice rings for each other closer to the wedding (it's a long engagement, we wont get married until i finish college in 2011) that mean more.
So i was wondering what some of your views are on being engaged without a ring.
