I have a fear of commitment. And I’m definitely not afraid to admit it. So when my girlfriend casually showed me this website offering discount engagement rings you can bet I panicked. I mean, any guy would, right? Now, don’t take me wrong ( I guess this is something only guys will be able to relate to ), it’s not that I don’t like her. I like her very much, thanks. The whole concept I don’t like is the idea of engagement. I think there are some walks in life that should be threaded with time, and getting an engagement ring is one of the easiest ways of putting the figurative ox ahead of the cart.
Okay, like I said before – I panicked. I had a stupid reaction, and I almost feel like writing a public apology in my blog. But that isn’t quite what I’m doing. Still, I felt like venting, and this seemed like as good as place to do it as anywhere else. Oh well… I’ll probably just end up buying those rings on my own as a Valentine’s surprise. But still… the whole idea of engagement does sound scary to me, and I see no point in acting brave about it.
