With This Ring ... A lot of people trade rings (high school rings, dime-store rings, birthstone rings, etc) when they go steady. It´s a constant reminder of the person you care for, and a symbol to others that you aren´t available for dating any more. Of course, you don´t NEED a ring swap to go steady! For some people, it just helps make the commitment more real, both to themselves and to others around them. www.romanceclass.com
