I recently caught a rerun of the
Sex and the City episode when Aidan proposed to Carrie with a ring that made her vomit. Literally. When she met the girls to tell them all about it, Samantha used the old cliché, "wrong ring, wrong guy!"

DearSugar and Sick of Waiting Willow need your help. She wants her boyfriend to pop the question but he's not ready. He doesn't feel that the timing is right, but Willow doesn't know how to wait patiently.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together almost two years and our relationship took off quickly. I am not a materialistic person, but he goes out of his way to pamper me and buy me things — I think he thinks it's what makes me happy. I've told him that all I need is his love, but he still continues to shower me with gifts.

Your engaged friend has been acting incredibly distant lately. You assume it's because she's planning her wedding, but when you finally get time together, she opens up to you after a few drinks. She tells you that things aren't going well and she's having serious
cold feet, to the point that she wants to call off the wedding.
