How to find out my girlfriends ring finger size...

im pretty sure that if you but a ring from a store, they will resize it if needs be after you've proposed...

Trouble is, she'll want to wear it straight away, even if it's too big, she's so damn impulsive.

Ask her mum, my mum knew my ring size and told my boyfriend. I don't know how, I never wear rings.

Her mum doesn't speak much english at all. Also as soon as she knew, she'd "accidentally let slip" to my girlfriend just to be a ***** (lady dog)

I had the exact same problem just over two years ago now when i propose to my now Wife. I got hold of a ring sizer from a jewellery store (they give them away free), and i was quite lucky that her Mum was getting remarried, so it would not seem out of the ordinary that her mum would have one of these, so she tried it on and bingo, i got her ring size.

Do you have any sisters, cousins etc that are getting married and would naturally have a ring sizer about? I found that if i left it on the table, whenever my sister, or my wife friends would come over they would just try it on naturally. So maybe leave one lying around.

As a backup, in the lead up to this, (i wasnt sure how i was going to get her ring size) i started making playful jokes that she has chubby fingers (she hasnt) and they're fatter than mine etc. If you keep dropping little jokes, then you can settle it one way or another by comparing each others ring sizes, you can say you were talking to someone at work about your chubby fingers joking with the girlfriend, your colleague is getting married soon and gave you a ring sizer so you could settle the dispute once and for all as she thought it was cruel etc.

Hope that gives you some ideas and good luck

Some interesting idea's there actually, trouble is none apply to me. There are no cirumstances I would have a ring sizer here and as for joking around about the size of her fingers she is pretty sharp and would catch on pretty quick.

She has one ring she always wears on her middle finger, would it be a logical deduction that her ring finger would just be a size smaller? ;)

Have you gone to a Jewellers and asked? That would be my first port of call, then google :D
 
i had the same problem, she doesn't wear any rings (well, one now :)) and sleeps very lightly.

In the end I just went for the "average" size after asking about getting it re-sized if needs be. Luckily it fitted fine, was worried it would be too small so she wouldn't be able to try it on - i guess it'd be worth going slightly larger if she has big hands ;)
 
As has probably already been said - "borrow" one of her existing rings.
However anywhere you buy a ring from will allow a resize.
So get something "average" in size and then get it resized when you can both go back to the store.
 
You don't need to give her "the" engagement ring when you propose. It is perfectly normal to have something alternative to give her and then have the both of you pick out a ring together...

Traditions are not the same today.

Hula Hoops or onion rings are good 'alternatives' :D

when I got engaged, we'd discussed it beforehand, went out looking for rings, got one, had to get it resized as she had tiny fingers and it would require a bit more work (going from "M" to "J") so I just pretended it was taking longer than it did, and used that as the surprise element when producing it on bended knees, still worked....and still have it :p
 
Buy a knuckle duster and see how it fits? :p Alternatively, tell her she has a fat arse and measure the width of the slap mark on your face

I got my wife to measure her finger, came out with some excuse (she fell for it) tells me the size etc.

Fast forward to when I propose and the ring was to big and we had to get it resized :rolleyes:

should've just told her to put on more weight till it fit :p
 
You could have course just ask to marry you with a token ring and when you get back take her to the jewellers to pick a proper one.
