Best Choice for a Present?

:other:
A punch in the mouth :slight_smile:

Gotta keep them guessing :lol:

Getting a suspicion that maybe she wants to be more than friends again…just saying

sorry I know you wanted this to be about presents, necklace would be a good pick (ring send the wrong message) or something personal you know she’d like, you know her well so you’re probably best to pick that

…or how about those one in a lifetime experiences thing like skydiving, or a flying lesson…

I now think its okay to give jewlery since you guys were once involved but are now just working on the friends part. But I agree that you have to be careful about sending messages.

If you are determined to go jewelry then go bracelet - but go simple. I have a slim silver band with a round piece of malachite (that super cool green/black stone that is more rock than jewel) in an extremely simple setting that was given to me by my guy back when we first started dating and I still prefer it over everything he’s given me since - even the more expensive fancier items.

Suggestions for other? While some kind of adventure sounds awesome I have a feeling you want to give her a ā€œthingā€ that she can take home with her. I’m sure if you start looking around in stores you’ll find some objects besides jewelry that are still pretty cool - like hand blown glass paperweights (I know that sounds cheesy but you can find some cool ones), or a dream catcher, or some kind of fancy sculpture / mobile that she can hang in her house. You can find things that are well made and ā€œfancyā€ that aren’t jewelry.

I used to have a set of hand blown wine glasses given to me by a dear friend and I thought of her every time I used them. Then my guy’s kids broke them and I grounded them for a month (just kidding - but I was sad when they broke).

Let me see if I can find pictures of the things I mean.

I think its kind of odd a guy givng a girl like a thoughtful gift like this expecting nothing in return…maybe where I was raised but round near me you only give a girl a gift you want something from her…errrrr…a present back.

Why not just get her a thank you card or something I dunno, maybe go to the cinmea with her or go eat out.

I say a nice necklace with a solitaire jewel.
(Sorry if it’s wrong, but that’s directly translated from my mother tung)

Some nice jewel in a color she likes.
If you go over too far it might look somewhat like a proposal for something extra… Don’t know you nice people from far, far away, so you think about it.

I voted necklace. How about a pearl one?

The bracelet that I have looks a lot like this:

Of course the stone is much smaller (I am a very petite woman with small wrists) but you get the idea - simple yet elegant. Its nice without implying more I think.

Well since you are taking her to your prom I sure hope he doesnt give her a child to take home with her :lol: thats not a good idea.

On the serious side of things take her out to dinner and maybe get her some flowers and a thank you note, dont get roses, roses are when you want something more than a friend :wink: after the roses you can give a child to take home :lol: :wink:

LMAO how did this comment go unlaughed at? :lol: … well let me be the first.

I said necklace too… but I wasn’t thinking of the type previously mentioned.
