Ring on right hand

Trippingslippingx1 · 22/03/2022 10:44

Matched with 44/M on Bumble
He sent me his work details, got his full name
Found him on facebook and his company website
He says never been married and no kids

There is evidence in a couple of photos of him wearing a kind of ring on his right 4th finger - if looks like a signet ring to be honest. Its kinda round.

Anyway could it be a wedding ring? I thought men wore on left in UK

Given my recent luck in dating I taking no prisoners before I even meet this guy

Conversations been fine so far

Love x

My husband wears a ring on his right ring finger. And a wedding ring on his left. I wouldn't worry about the ring as a red flag necessarily.

Just as long as the photo hasn't been flipped!

coldfeetmama · 22/03/2022 12:47

Yes please remember that you see opposite sides when a pic has been taken on a mobile and it flips again if taken with a mobile in a mirror !
On saying that .. please don't make a decision on a ring - with or without one they can all be married single taken etc

Some OLD pics are 10 years out of date , perhaps happily married then but liked the pic so didn't think it mattered ? 🤣

Some European men wear wedding ring on right hand.

According to the language of rings, wearing one on 4th finger right hand means the wearer is looking for a meaningful relationship....so go for it !

There is one he is wearing it with his ex in 2015 - she has no ring on.

Who needs the FBI when I have a name, job title and WIFI.

I wear a ring on that finger which was a gift from my parents.

MrsRhodes · 22/03/2022 13:55

My husband wears his wedding ring on his right hand, ring finger as opposed to the normal left hand. He injured his hand a few years ago, although it isn't obvious, but it is uncomfortable to wear on left.

callmeblondie · 22/03/2022 13:55

Some married women don't wear rings.

iklboo · 22/03/2022 14:00

My dad wore a signet type ring in his right hand. His parents bought it for his 21st.

LetItGoHome · 22/03/2022 14:02

Gosh, the poor guy! It's not a wedding ring as it's on the wrong hand. Don't look for problems where there aren't any. Why don't you just meet him. I'd be totally freaked out if someone was doing what you are to me. Dating is meant to be fun.

Trippingslippingx1 · 22/03/2022 15:42

@LetItGoHome I seen two of my friends husbands on Bumble and another two who were engaged on Sunday alone. I have seen countless on there over the past few years who I have also known to be in relationships or married.

If you think the current dating scene does not require research before you meet them - you are very naive.

I have been caught out and some of my friends have too.

I would fully expect for a guy to google me as well before going out with me - if he had any sense.

Eek! Have you told them?!
Trippingslippingx1 · 22/03/2022 16:09

I also know a friend who was involved with a guy for a year and was still on dating apps. So please. If men did not act like idiots - woman would not need to act like the CSI.

@youvegottenminuteslynn have not said anything to anyone yet. Not sure what to told. I told one a year or two ago I seen her boyfriend on dating apps and was made out to be the bit bad bitch to him. Of course he was still on it. So I have been shot as the messenger before.

If you can't ask him this simple question, why are you considering meeting him?

True. Fair point well made. ❤️

I wear a ring on my right hand. It’s a family ring. Signets are usually gifts or family rings that have been passed down (because, let’s face it, they’re not pretty enough to make anyone want to go out and buy one!)
