Is it OK for a man to ask a woman to marry him without having an engagement ring in hand to give her at that moment?

That depends on what you value - when you say is it "ok", is it "ok" by who? Only you matter here - is it ok for YOU - no one else does. If you think it's ok, then it is. If you don't, it isn't. I personally think it's ridiculous to believe that having an engagement ring in hand is necessary for a proposal. It's sad when society starts looking at marriage as something more materialistic (I want a ring) or fantasy-like (I want the proposal to be romantic just like I've played it out to be in my head.) If you love him and want to marry him, the ring in hand at that moment itself becomes pointless. You might want to ask yourself what prompted you to ask this question. If you really love this man, I think you would be ecstatic with the fact that your dreams are finally coming true as opposed to wondering if it's "ok" that he didn't have a ring.
It's the tradition. Most women dream of this moment in their lives and it starts when they are just young girls. This sanctifies, your love and committment for each other, and the promise of marriage. This is the start of the rest of your lives together. This is very beautiful and how romantic for any man who loves their signifigant other that much to to propose marriage with and engagement ring. CONGRATULATIONS!
It is perfectly okay. He might not know her ring size, some couples choose to pick out a ring together, he might simply be so overcome with love that he didn't plan to propose, he might be proposing while skydiving, which isn't exactly the best place to carry around expensive jewellery.
Even if the woman does badly want a ring, it isn't alway for materialistic purposes. Some people just want a ring because it is a visible signal to the rest of the world that they're taken, so they don't have to keep getting hit on. For some people, the most important thing is that their fiance went through all the time and effort to look at rings and put thought into which ring he would like to see her wearing.
You know your fiancee better than anyone else, so the best thing to do is come up with the kind of proposal that you know will make her happiest.
If you need an enagement ring, don't waste your money, go straight to Ebay and find one within your budget. Got $100 to spend, there is something nice waiting for you...
:
my boyfriend gave me a ring on our anniversary but when i asked him why he's giving me that ring, he simply didn't answer. so being engage doesn't mean that he should give you a ring. actually i asked him too if he has given his past girlfriends a ring and yes he did gave them ring and this is his 3rd time giving a girl a ring. grr. I'm the 3rd one and it do hurt me. and yes I'm wearing it but it really hurts knowing that I'm the 3rd one he'd given a ring.
In my opinion, if the guy I love asked me to marry him and gave me a paper ring that he made from a receipt, I would say yes and feel on top of the world! And I am a jewelry lover so what I'm saying is if the love is there, real love, material things don't matter. I guess it depends on your situation, but if you really love this guy, him having a ring at the moment he proposes....it doesn't matter as long as it is sincere and you know he really loves you.

What is an engagment ring?
When a man loves a woman he asks her to marry him. The engagement ring is a symbol of his commitment and a pledge of his love. Additional Notes: An engagement ring is a symbol of commitment for a future marriage with the person it was given to. Love is hopefully the reason for the marriage, but not always. Most engagement rings are given to a woman from a man, but "man-gagement" rings are becoming increasingly popular so the men can show their commitment too. Most engagement rings are made out of yellow gold, white gold or platinum. Originally, engagement rings were a solid band without any gemstones but today most engagement rings include a diamond, at least in North America. In other parts of the world, notably Europe, an engagement ring often includes sapphires or other gemstones. Engagement rings can come as part of a bridal set with a matching wedding band (to be worn after the marriage) or without the wedding band.
What do promise rings mean?
