What is a the differance between a purity ring and a promise ring?

Why not ask him instead of us.

Isn’t a purity ring one you wear to indicate that you intend to remain a virgin until married? A promise ring is sort of like a “one day we’ll get engaged to be married” ring. But yes, ask your boyfriend if you’re unsure of his intention.

I was just about to say what @augustlan said. You get the purity ring for yourself and it’s to show your intentions of staying a virgin until you marry. The boyfriend usually buys the “promise” ring as an intention of getting married in the future.

Giving you the promise ring is a way of him controlling you. Is he going to wear one as well? Or is he still going to date other girls but you (because you have this promise ring) are restricted from dating other guys.

I would ask him directly what this means – because there’s a good chance he has a different idea than you do.
