So, me and my boyfriend have been dating for a little over two years now. I'm sixteen almost seventeen now. So, my boyfriend thought it would be a good idea to get me a promise ring for Christmas. He didn't spend too much money on it, because it's only a promise ring. Now, my dad is severely mad because he thinks it means more like an engagement ring than just a promise ring. He thinks I'm too "young" to have one. Now, if I'm correct doesn't a promise ring just mean we are in a committed relationship? What are your thoughts about it? Do you think it's wrong to have one at my age?

Yes. A promise ring just means you are committed to stay in your relationship, to not date anyone else and stay in the relationship until your can get married. However I agree that you might be a bit young because chances are you may not still be together, not many people can start dating at 15 and get married around 25 or when
you decide to.
Promise rings are meant to be cute, not serious. It's the perfect age to have one. It means that he loves you and he doesn't want anyone else. I dont think that most older adults waste their time with promise rings, they just skip right to engagement. So tell your dad he has nothing to worry about. Plus, your bf didn't spend much on it anyway.
I'm 18. My bf gave me one last Nov for our 3rd anniversary ♡
