Money, Relatable, Awkward and Love: It's the thought that counts, or something

It's the thought that counts, or something

By Henji - 10/12/2009 22:21 - United States

Today, I gave a girl I like a $200 diamond necklace to express how much she means to me. She gave me a hug and told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend. Nor did she want to lose her new necklace. Today, I got a $200 hug. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. FML

Today, I gave my wife a $900 necklace as a special Christmas gift. She gave me a set of Star Wars pajamas. As it turns out, I was more excited to wear my gift than she was to wear hers. FML

Today, I was on Craigslist looking for a new guitar. I found the diamond earrings and necklace set I gave to my girlfriend last year. She wants 50 bucks for them. FML

Today, the girl I have feelings for gave me a really thoughtful handmade gift. She apologized for not buying something. I meant to tell her it’s worth more than anything, or priceless, but my mouth instead said, “It’s worthless." FML

Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me a beautiful pair of very expensive diamond earrings, along with a card that read, "To my beautiful brown eyed Princess." My ears aren't pierced, and my eyes are green. FML

Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML

Today, I confessed my feelings to the love of my life. She laughed and said, “Nah, you’re like a brother to me, I can’t see you that way.” This after I drained my wallet for her birthday, brought her flowers and comforted her when her dog passed away, and fixed her car every time it broke down.

YDI for not knowing how to treat women. I totally agree with #53 on this. The girl saw you as a friend, you were in the "friend zone", you do not get out of the "friend zone" very easily.... only way to do it is get her a litte drunk and then have sex with her, which is much better and cheaper than buying a $200 necklace and it forces the conversation about whether she can see you as something more than a friend, and even if she can't see you as something more than a friend and delegates the one night stand as a mistake, well then at least you ****** once and you'll always have that memory.

you know what forces the conversation about whether she likes you? asking her if she likes you. what, you need girls to be drunk before they're willing to have sex with you? loser...

"YDI for not knowing how to treat women." -> Suggest getting a person drunk and raping them.

Just be happy all she did was keep the necklace. She should have also slapped you for treating her like a prostitute.

dude, you're an absolute douchebag. If you want to buy love, go to a brothel. Did you really think, giving her a $200 necklace would be a replacement for a good pickup line or whatever and start a relationship? douchebag.

Oh yeah. How DARE people have the right to reject people they don't love/find attractive? What the hell is wrong with them! How dare they step all over my poor fragile ego with their rights and freedom!
