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, 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

PSA: Don't be this guy

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.

As much as that sucks, you do kinda deserve it since you didn't know if she was going to have those same feelings for you in return.

So you really thought she will want to be your gf after buying her diamonds? is this the type of gf you want? if she likes you she will be ur gf without buying her a diamonds and if she doesn't like you then you dont want her to be with you only for the diamonds. YDI for trying to buy that girls.

That was a nice thing to do, but you probably should have gotten her something less expensive until you knew how she really felt about you.

Wow, ydi for thinking that a $200 necklace was the way to buy love.

Just because you bought her expensive things does not make her contractually obligated to date you. Did she ask for the necklace? No. It would have been rude to not accept a gift from a friend, so she took it. YDI

If she's such a close friend she wouldn't mind you taking that necklace back?

1. Never give anyone anything expecting anything in return. 2. Never give jewelry to women who aren't related to you or aren't your significant other.
