[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

I don't get this at all. I can see dropping hints about wanting to get married or engaged or committed or whatever, though it seems a lot more productive to actually have a discussion about it. But unless someone specifically says "hey, I'm buying you an incredibly expensive small rock, do you have a preference on which kind?" I'll just be gracious and happy about what the rock means rather than what it looks like/weighs/cut/clarity/etc. This probably explains why no one goes out shopping for rocks for me.

Oh no. Not from her. From one of her friends. And I asked her friend first. And it wasn't "she wants this particular stone from you." It was "she has never really liked diamond rings."

I've never been pressured to get engaged or married. Or buy an expensive ring. I can honestly say that she would be happy with whatever I gave her, although I'm sure there are plenty of women on this board who will probably disagree with me.
