Turn, and walk away.
I made this some time ago. The need to post it arises every so often . . . like now:

When my ex and i were talkin bout it she said she would be happy with a cracker jacks ring or one out of those vending machines outside toys-r-us, it wasn't about the ring, it was what it symbolized. looking back she wasn't ready and I had insecurity issues that made me not ready, but at the time it was surreal.
Again, good luck

She drops quiet hints on what she likes and gave me the same speech that HHIFX4 recieved. I've looked, but decided I'm not rich enough yet and I'd rather start and finish that 67 GT500E project next year anyhow.
Gotta have those priorities!

EDIT: Not to mention if I was to buy a ring based on the suggestion of a truck forum (which we have great guys on here, but still, it'd sound a little funny); I think she'd probably slap me.

While I know technically its against forum rules to peddle goods outside the the classifieds, this is a sneak peak at it:

EDIT: Oh yeah, I've never been dumped. An interesting track record I'm not sure I'm proud of. Just once I'd like to get dumped for a change.
