Some friend you are

Today, I had to give back the Christmas present to who I thought was my best friend. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I declined. Apparently, because I don’t feel the same way he does, I don’t deserve it. I was under the impression that he’d given me this present to be a friend, not to get in my pants. FML

Keep it. Gifts given under sus reasons are not owed back to them.

I'd have kept it and told him to grow up, this isn't high school anymore. a gift is not a bribe.

I think it showed integrity that OP gave back the present - They were not obligated to do so, but it was the right thing to do under the circumstances. A gift, especially a very valuable gift conveys an expectation of reciprocity - Not necessarily a sexual encounter but it still conveys some degree of obligation. Returning the gift when that's unwanted is wise... We don't know if OP and the person interested in a romantic relationship were a victim of miscommunication or just different expectations from the relationship. It's unfortunate that wasn't clear before the gift incident.
