    Go ahead and ask! Like honeyfugle said, it will be the birthday ever!:)

    And it makes the dates easy to remember.

    Her twenty years from now: "Honey, remember when you proposed to me?"

    You twenty years from now: "Of course I do, it was your birthday."

    That looks like a wedding band, not an engagement ring. Generally speaking, you pick out the bands together.

    Anyways, I think asking her on the b-day is bad day. If for some reason she decides she doesn't want to get married and cancels the wedding, you wont have any right to get the ring back, seeing as it was a b-day gift. Usually, it would be proper etiquette to give the ring back if she calls it off. Forever isn't always forever.

    I've asked her what she wants for a ring before, and this is what she showed me. I'm not gonna go shopping with her for an engagement ring, if she knows that I have it, theres nothing special to it.

    If you ask someone to marry you them on their bday, I dont see how that becomes the birthday gift.... its not like happy birthday this is for you, oh and do you wanna marry me... lol but she'd probably give it back anyways.

    We've talked about marriage, its almost a definate that she wouldn't say no.

    If that's what she wants, then get it for her, but it's not an engagement ring. At least, it's not considered one if you ask a jeweler. Yes, the guys usually pick out an engagement ring, sometimes with help of the bride to be. That is a wedding band though. Are you planning on getting wedding bands as well? That might look, well, different. Usually, the bride and groom get similar styles of bands. If you don't believe me, do a quick google image search: first google engagement rings and then wedding bands; you'll see the difference.

    It's a b-day gift in the court's eyes. If you really spend a lot of money on the ring, and she bails on you, don't count on getting the ring back. The court will see it as a b-day gift, same goes with X-mas and the like. I mean, if money isn't really an issue, and you're okay with the possibility of that happening, then ask her on her b-day. I'm just trying to make you aware. Good luck.

    People goto court over a few gifts? lol

    ya, thats what she wants

    i personally hate jewelry, the only thing i'll wear would be a wedding ring, and its gotta be a plain platinum ring, and shes not the kind of person to keep something like that, she'd sell it or give it back, most likely give it back... she's the furthest thing from a gold digger type of chick (she makes about 90k a year) if she wants it whatever i suppose.... i think i'm gonna still do the birthday thing, she's bumbed about getting older, i think it'd cheer her up

    This ring things got a bit complicated!
    It's so much easier in films- there's always a long-gone great grandmother who leaves a ring.. and the lady gets that!
