How do I go engagement ring shopping?
Hello! I (23f) and my bf (28m) have been together for about 4 years and have started talking about getting engaged. I’ve done lots of looking at rings online but would love to try some on in person. Is it normal to go to a jewelry store and try a million on without intending to buy? How do I ask for that? Is there an etiquette I should know? I have general ideas of what I like but I want to try on a bunch of different styles. Is that something he should go with me for? I tend to struggle with things like this when I feel like there are “secret rules” I may not be aware of. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
