A friend of mine married a girl who ended up confessing that the only reason she started dating him was to get closer to me. (I had zero interest in her; I thought she was OK-looking but also dumb and rude...) They're divorced now. Don't know what became of her....

i'm sorry

Who the **** dates someone they're not interested in for three whole years? That's a waste of both of your time. Especially if she's doing it to make someone jealous - I mean, if they're not jealous in the first week or so, they're probably never going to be. Seriously, what the ****?

Not to be harsh, but that's the kinda thing you really ought to know before buying a ring... no proposing to women that don't really love you - a decent rule to live by maybe?

sorry to hear at least she told u now before u proposed.

Nah, just doen't want the emo baggage that comes with a ring that was meant for someone else. The ring is symbolic to begin with - valuing that symbolism is the opposite of materialistic greed.

Aww that's pretty shitty, OP. Why would she stay with you if she only kindof liked you though? Makes no sense. I'd be pretty upset too though. Hope everything turns out for you and you find a girl worthy of a lovely ring!

YDI for wanting to get married...not really a point to it anyway except you giving her half your stuff...so on the bright side it's just a breakup and not a divorce.

Three years?!?!

hope you kept the reciept! :-)
