Your left ring finger, just like an engagment ring. So that your boyfriend knows you wont be cheating on him while he puts off actually making the commitment to get engaged and buy a real ring.
He isn't wearing a ring...think about it. If my boyfriend bought me a promise ring, I would get him a cheapo ring for him as well and make him wear it.
You think it is a sweet jesture, but really he is insecure and thinks this might prevent losing you while he has his fun.
You wear a promise ring on your left hand ring finger, which is the one next to the pinky. It's just like a wedding ring. Reason being is it's an important promise that you want to keep, and puting it on your left hand shows commitment.
Basically it’s strictly a matter of personal preference, however the finger and hand you choose can depend entirely on the type of ring it is and in some cases the type of pledge. For example, an Irish Claddagh ring can have several meanings depending on the way it is:
Worn on the left hand, the wearer has made a promise of love and fidelity.
Worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward, the wearer’s heart is free.
Worn on the right hand with the heart turned inward, the Wearer’s heart is taken.
If you are exchanging friendship rings, it may be wise to wear the ring on your right hand so there is no confusion about romantic ties. There are many different types of rings you can share with a friend that will be meaningful to you both. A fun vacation you went on or the love of a certain hobby or animal, for example. My best friend and I share a love of cats. Therefore, we bought matching kitty cat rings, gold with diamond pave no less! These rings are special only to us and are a symbol of our friendship.
Most people associate the wearing of a ring on the left hand ring finger to mean that a significant commitment of some sort has been made.
If the promise is for pre-engagement, many couples choose to wear this ring on their left hand ring finger. They then switch the ring to their right hand once the actual engagement ring or wedding band is received.
Likewise a ring exchanged for the promise of monogamy or fidelity would be worn on the left hand ring finger to symbolize that the wearer’s heart is taken.

This hand is closes to your heart =)
I'm old fashioned i guess but when my fiance gave me a promise ring I put in on my right hand. To me only wedding and engagement rings go on the left hand. It made it more special when he slipped an engagement ring onto my left hand than too!
Right finger, so it wont get confused with an engagement ring. I wore it in my left ring finger and everyone thought I was engaged, first i changed my ring to the right finger and then I had to clear the rumors.
Left ring finger, like it's an engagement or wedding ring.
I wore mine on my left hand, ring finger.
