<prompt> Human: I graduated undergrad in May, and I am working on trying to get into law school. My girlfriend and I have been together for three years, and she told me that she would go with me wherever I needed to go, and help support me while I am in law school. I feel like that if she is putting forth that level of commitment then it would be fitting for me to propose to her. We have even discussed it, and we both want the same thing, and she understands that if we were to get engaged it would be a long term engagement. I am so new to this, what are some things I should know before going into this so I do not get ripped off? Thanks!  <response>: Ripped off by... your girlfriend? A jeweler? What?
