"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes. I'm a life and dating coach and owner of NY Dating Coach here in New York City. In this clip, we'll talk about how to give a ring to a man. Now, that's only fair if you think about it. The girl wears a ring showing everybody that she's pledged to someone, why doesn't the men wear one? So if you'd like your guy to wear one, then simply ask him. Bring it up, bring it in a loving way though. Maybe find a really interesting ring, some sort of promise ring. Something that he won't be embarrassed to wear and then say to him "I'm so excited that we're getting married, honey. Would you wear this ring so 'til we get married so that you have your own engagement ring?" And really make it a positive thing, not an ownership thing. Not something that you're trying to put your mark on him and that you're trying to claim him. Really make it a gift. Maybe even wrap it up and give it as a gift and say "thank you so much for my wonderful engagement ring. I wanted to give you a ring as well." And make it a positive thing for him, and I think he'll really appreciate it, he certainly if he loves you, will be happy to wear it. This is Donna Barnes from New York City."
