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

Imagine how much pussy you could've gotten for those 200$ at a strip club. Just sayin'.

Did this hug happen to come with a happy ending?

1) A $200 diamond necklace must have been a tiny diamond. 2)Man up and instead of buying a necklace ask her out or grow some balls, and if she doesn't want to date you then stop being friends - unless you can magically get over her.

you "like her"? come on dude! $200 is like a birthday or a 1 yr anniversary present for couples! Should have just given her one rose. A girl who likes you or is at least open to the idea of liking you would have instantly went on a date with you. ugh..... stop trying so hard.

In a shallow attempt to defend myself. Not all people are douche bags who are attempting to buy people's affections. If I had wanted to do that I would have thrown how much it cost into her face. I didn't expect her to date me. Yes it was dumb I agree completely. I'm a superficial jerk. I told her how I felt and gave that to her as my way of getting over it. Why spend so much money on a gift when you're planning on moving on? People go through hard times and occasionally they need to be reminded that people do care. I wanted her to remember that someone cared. We're just friends now and I'm fine with that. Your drunk roommate smashing your laptop is better and so is being punched in the face by your boyfriend. Sorry those didn't make it, I didn't expect this too.

If you didn't expect her to date you, why did you submit it to FML when she didn't?

Henji, you said you bought her that $200 diamond necklace after she turned you down just so she knew you still cared about her and for you to get over failing to get her attention? You could have went to a Hallmark store or grocery store and bought her a card, telling her you still cared about her. No one deserves an expensive present like that, unless they are family or you are engaged/married. YDI for the money and time you wasted on her.

You ended your FML with "Today, I got a $200 hug. FML" That implies that you were expecting more in return than a hug/friendship. ... try not to contradict yourself so much when you're making up reasons why you think you don't deserve this.

I'm pretty sure men who give presents are a myth. I've never had a boyfriend who has given me jewellery.

My boyfriend got me a cute bracelet with a Russian doll on it for our second Valentines Day. It was inexpensive but so cute and I still wear it now. I'd prefer a quirky, well-thought out gift to diamonds and chocolates anyway.

Try giving her a **** punt next time. Nah just kidding, but get that damn necklace back.

dude, you should have asked her out in the first place.. i know it's hard but it would probably have hurt less than giving her a present you spent time and money on. in any case, best thing to do is to tell her how you feel and move on. if she likes you, you will hear from her soon enough..

Damn, if I were this girl, even if I *did* like you I'd run like hell the moment you gave me a diamond necklace when we're not even a couple. Clearly shows you are way too attached for this stage of the game and you don't have the courage or the maturity to simply state how you feel and approach the situation in an honest way, asking for a chance instead of trying to buy her.
