We've been together for 5 months. He's the most caring bf ever. He gave me a diamond ring for christmas. He said its a "promise ring". He promised that he will be loyal to me. I know for sure he loves me. He makes me feel it everyday. But I wonder why he gave me a promise ring instead of an engagement ring? What are your thoughts? Thanks.
The first ring that would be given (if he chooses to) is the promise ring. this ring symbolizes his promise and your promise to be faithful to each other and basically tells everyone that you are both off the market. This ring is thin and small...usually has a small diamond.
The engagement ring is the ring given when you and he promise to each other to be married at some point. This ring is usually in gold or white gold with a larger diamond or with several diamonds of higher value. This is worn on the left ring finger. The wedding band is either a plain gold band or a band that matches the engagement ring and is given on your wedding day as part of the ceremony. It is worn together with the engagement ring on your left hand.
In other words: a promise ring or friendship ring is a ring given to a boyfriend or girlfriend, to promise to be committed in a serious relationship.
These indicate that serious courting is underway. It can be given as a symbol that a couple does not feel that it is an appropriate time to consider engagement or marriage, but are serious about each other and their relationship.

You've only been together 5 months. I know time isn't always a factor, but what's the hurry?
The ring is nice and he said to me what its for. I have no doubt he loves me but just wondering why a promise ring and not an engagement ring. And ofcourse I cant ask him that question.
Becuase he isn't ready to consider marriage at this time would be the obvious answer.
If you're that curious you can always bring up the topic of marriage to get his general thoughts on it
