Cupid’s Advice:
Rumors are inevitable, but when they’re about your relationship, they aren’t always easy to deal with. Cupid has some tips:
1. Prove them wrong: Instead of letting everyone continue to assume that you and your partner are engaged, let them know you’re not at the level in your relationship yet by confirming it yourself.
2. Shrug it off: If you don’t mind people speculating that you and your lover are engaged, or you simply feel as though you don’t owe an explanation, take the higher road and overlook the gossip.
3. Don’t encourage it: Sometimes, when people see a ring on your finger, they automatically assume they hear wedding bells. If you’ve tried the following steps and are still annoyed with the rumors, the least you can do is choose not to give them something to talk about.
