What do you do when you have been dating someone less than a week (one who is awesome btw) that says I want to buy you a ring???

I think it is too soon but should the opportunity be blown away???

Are you comfortable with the idea?

By your question, it would seem that you aren't.

My suggestion would be to ( tactfully ) let him know that you would rather wait a bit.

Unless of course, you know him well.

I'd say "sure, I like rings. what kind do you want to buy for me?"
You didn't say he wants to marry you. Just that he wants to buy you a ring. Is it his intention to make a visual "claim" on you or does he just like to buy jewelry for women?

No, I'm not comfortable with it actually. And no I don't know him well yet....less than a week isn't very long but he seems to know exactly what to say.

I think waiting a bit is a good idea. Thank you!!! flowerforyou

I would tell them that it's just too soon for a gift or gesture that big and though you appreciate the offer, you simply can't take it.

If they don't get the hint from that, you may have to ask them to slow down for you. Just communicate with them where YOU are in this thing...if they care, they will understand. flowerforyou

Umm.. it's only been a week? A little too soon, I'd say. But that's up to you!

After a week, I'd be happy with dinner/movie. :wink:

Really, I wouldn't take a ring. I don't wear the rings I have because of bruising.
If we were at a craft fair or something like that and he wanted to buy something for me, in friendship, I'd choose something else.
Sounds to me like he wants to get "control" of you. You should talk about that with him more. It would make me nervous for someone to move that fast. He probably wants to get close just as fast! Good luck!! flowerforyou
