Unless she has told you she's lost her feelings for you then you are simply second-guessing and this is where communication comes in. If she has said this then I have no idea why you would offer her the promise ring. There appears to be a bigger problem here that you haven't mentioned and I believe it has something to do with commitment and marriage. I don't believe in promise rings (promise to what?) ... you are either engaged or you aren't. Sounds like she would be more delighted with an engagement ring. You'll have to figure this one out. Personally, if I was young again I wouldn't take a promise ring and expect the real thing!
If you are having the same type of feelings, go for it if you are financially able to. If you don't feel the spasms way, share those feelings with her.
