I see what you did there.

It's actually quite

neat.

It's never occurred to me to do that.
 
Any good ideas how to find out someone's ring size without actually asking that person?
Alt: Any good ideas for a present, which somehow resembles a ring, but isn't one :D?
(nothing serious or romantic, and no, I have sexual suggestions myself, don't need more)
 
You don't get to ask how to surreptitiously measure somebody's ring size without me assuming you're planning on getting hitched.
 
*lol* no, wished that.

No, I friend of mine is leaving at the end of the month back to her home country.
2 or 3 months back or so there was some discussion (don't know exactly how that happened, and the rest of the people were stoned, so they don't know either), which had as end result that I owe her a ring. That has been a bit of a running gag since then.
I like her, I'll definitely miss her, and it's me worth the giggles to get her a cheap ring for her departure.
Or something which resembles a ring, so that I can say that I finally got her one.
Since she'll most likely have her goodbye party at the weekend before Christmas, I don't think I'd have time to exchange it, in case it doesn't fit, so I either need a good guess for the size, or something which doesn't require a size.
So...ideas :D?
 
Just get any size. She can wear it on whichever of her fingers is that size.

Since it's not an engagement ring, I mean, which is generally worn on a particular finger and thus has to be sized.
 
Get her drunk, ask to see whatever ring she happens to be wearing, make a note of what finger she took it off from, *forget* to give it back, she doesn't notice since she's drunk or you refuse to give it back since you're drunk and "it looks so pretty on me," get it sized the next day, get approximately the same size ring to give her as a present, wind up getting engaged and not realize it, pop out 5 kids in 6 years, profit.
 
Or, does she have any family heirloom? Sort of like "this is passed from grandmother to mother, and from mother to daughter" sort of business?

You could always get an oversized ring in a case to be put on a shelf or a mantelpiece rather than a finger, perhaps with a little engraved plaque.
 
Or grab her cellphone and download onto it a ringtone based on some song you both like, and associate it with your number.

Then show her the same tone has been associated with her on your phone.

Say, "Well, everyone's been saying I need to get you a ring. Here you go. Now you give me a ring."

(Then actually get her a physical ring, too, by the way. So you don't come off as cheap.)

Oh, and, for what it's worth, she likes you too. She wouldn't entertain joking around about such a matter if she didn't. Just my hunch.

How the hell do you turn a profit with 6 kids? Sell them? I'm in the hole with just two. I was in the hole almost as much with just one.
 
Pay a friend she doesn't know $10 to walk up to her somewhere and ask her if she can answer a quick 3 question survey for $5. Market research for a jewellery company or a school project or something.

Maybe not the best solution, because it requires a bit of a set up. Plus she can easily say "no" to the survey.. but who wouldn't take $5 to answer 3 short questions? *shrug*, depending on how much you're into this girl, maybe something to consider.

The alternative would be to tell her that you're buying a ring for your sister for christmas and that you think your sister has similar hands to hers.. but unless she was really high at that party, she would probably catch on to what you're doing..

If you're feeling like George Costanza I highly recommend you merge both of my ideas into one: Have a friend walk up to her and say: "Oh my God, you have the EXACT SAME hands as my bride to be. I have been looking for a way to figure out her ring size for MONTHS, and I love her so. Please, could you tell me your ring size? I would be forever in your debt."
 
Alternatively, J could just tell her up-front that he wants to get her some jewellery, perhaps a ring, and ask what her ring size is.

(Mine's R, in case you're wondering, but then I did a short course in practical jewellery.)
 
Depends on the price of the jewelry. Keep in mind that buying semi-expensive jewelry for a girl you aren't romantically involved with tends to come off as really creepy.
 
I'll take your word for it.
 
Steal one of her other rings. Then return it saying you must have dropped this someplace.
