Ring Thing

We are looking at rings. Commitment? Engagement? Promises? It raises all kinds of questions. Am I too old for this? Not old enough? Can a woman in her fifties still get engaged? Is engaged better than married? (I think so) Am I doing this for myself or for other people? (Hmmm not totally clear) Who are those other people? (Oh, I see.) If there were no “other people” would I still want this? Want him?
