Ok Kathleen here is the thing. Lets be honest no tradition is really neccessary now is it? I mean not when you really get down to the hunter gatherer sence of the word I mean traditions are not central to survival so they are all actually frivolous so are we going to throw them all out because they are not really needed? I mean are you willing to cut out Christmas? Because lets face it first off Jesus probably wasnt even born on the 25th of Dec. and its nothing but commercialism these days. Some people consider the promise ring because at this point in life an engagement ring maybe entirely too much money. I know that is the only reason I considered it. You didnt even approach that possibility. So before you go shooting your mouth off maybe you should explore some other ideas.

well there is this guy im in love with and he wants to give me a promise ring and i do want one but i don't want him to spend a lot of money on it like he wants to what should i do e0mail me at katiedoodlebug8@aol.com

Having a promise ring is to signify wanting to be engaged, but maybe not having the money to do so just yet. It's to show other people that you are in love and indeed taken. Just because it is an older tradition, doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be done away with.
Also, basing your opinion about promise rings, and their supposed failure, on your five friends who had them is completely inaccurate.
