Another Word For "Kind Of Engaged" Is Dating
As someone who has been engaged even more times than I have been married, I consider myself an expert on what defines being engaged and what doesn't. If there is a ring on a finger, then there is an engagement. If there is no ring, then you are dating. Oh sure you can call it a relationship or you are going to get engaged or talked about getting married and he or she is the one, and blah, blah, blah, but until there is a ring, there is no engagement.
As a guy, I wanted to avoid having to buy that ring because once you get into double digit times buying a ring, you will look for any excuse not to. Promise rings are great because they can be $5 and it is considered cute, but it doesn't make you engaged.
Well on the red carpet last night, Kimora Lee Simmons told Kneepads that she and Djimon Honsou were "kind of" engaged. When asked if she had received a ring, she said, "not quite."
Well, then you are not engaged. When Djimon decides he wants to give up his masculinity and marry Kimora then he will buy her a ring. Until that time which I hope never occurs, Kimora will just have to face the fact that she isn't engaged and that while she might be thinking "kind of" in her mind, Djimon is thinking, "hell no."
I love Djimon. He is a beautiful, gorgeous, yummy specimen of masculinity. I sincerely hope he is of the "hell no" mind because it still shocks the hell out of me that he's with Kimora in the first place.
ReplyDeleteshe's annoying.
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband and I decided to get married, he did not give me a ring. Mostly because we both find weddings and ring-giving quite ridiculous. But we did refer to one another as "my fiance" between the proposal and the wedding. "Boyfriend" just didn't seem to be at the right level.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, captivagirl, she is unbelieveably annoying. I watched a few episodes of her show and I just wanted to punch her.
ReplyDeleteharriet, just curious, did the two of you wear rings after you were married?
ReplyDeletewait for the breakup announcement in...4...3...2...
ReplyDeleteI bet the sex is nuts, because crazy women always use sex as the web to catch men. Look at Russell he is so glad to be rid of her, is starting to not make nice with her ass. She's also a secret CO$ member, she passed out a bunch of literature at a high school she spoke at in NJ. Making her even more hideous. RUN DJIMON RUN! Make like Blood diamond, and escape.
