I definitely believe that you need to be friends before you can be anything more.
I'm only 19 and my boyfriend and I have been together for almost two years and have known each other for 5 years. We're talking about getting engaged, and I know that for us, being friends and being able to talk to each other about it definitely helps. It's a big commitment, you really want to know somebody well before you decide to marry them, not after.
Also, designing a ring is a nice way of putting a personal touch to the whole thing. Why would anybody want a ring that somebody else has?
