I'm glad you found out before giving her the birthday ring. To be honest, she doesn't sound like such a great friend either. If you have made albeit softer romantic gestures that she didn't take seriously because she wasn't interested, I don't think she should have accepted your gifts, especially jewelry. That statement she made at lunch just irks me...your giving jewelry and a valentines day card was clearly aimed at wanting to take the relationship to the next level. Her accepting the bracelet and then telling you she's going to wear it out with another guy for valentines is just throwing it back in your face. Sounds like she just wants the attention and doesn't mind the free gifts.

I say lesson learned, and stop the gravy train. You sound like a really sweet guy that deserves a girl way more considerate and worthy of you than she is.

Blessing in disguise I say!

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate your time. I took the ring to the store and apparently since I bought it on December 27, I'm over my 30 days, and teu wouldn't put it bak on my Amex, even though I begged her. So she gave me several gift cards, since each can only have 2000 max on them. The. She tried to sell me on a whole bunch of other stuff and I was annoyed to begin with so I raised an eyebrow and left. When I got home, I called to check the balance and they told me zero. Apparently she didn't do it right. I called her. She said come back. I drive 20 minutes. She does it again. So now I'm finally here.... With $9265 worth of Tiffany's credit. And no Kelly to buy for. Yeah, totally NOT my day.

dude, i'm sorry she didn't feel the same way. you seem like a great catch. i'd definitely nix the ring for the b-day. it's stunning but...yeah, not gonna happen. especially if she mentions a date after you give her such a stunning bracelet for a v-day gift, lunch, talk, etc. that might not have been the most classy or appropriate thing for her to say to you at that moment in time, as i'm sure at least a small part of her must've sensed you liked her a tad more than complete and utterly platonic friends who enjoy gifting sessions. But I digress..

keep on keepin' on, still gift stuff to each other if need be, but maybe on a lesser scale for now? JMHO on that. good luck in finding a lady who will love you back just as much in the future! =)

Keep on gifting on a lesser scale? She tagged her date night pics from last night for me on facebook and I can't even look at them. That's how pretty she looks! So I don't at all want to see her for a few weeks let alone gift her

Well, before you take a huge loss, see what NYC HQ will do for you. Explain your situation, essentially that it was a Valentines Day Gift, and instead the relationship ended when you intended to present it. Your local store refused to refund your money, offering gift cards, however you got home to find out that the gift cards were not properly funded, requiring you to drive all the way back.

Worst they say is no. I know you are heartbroken and defeated, but let me just say this: don't let this girl have power over your emotions any longer, or over you. She's had that long enough. You deserve better. Now take care of yourself. Do what you can to get your money back and move on and find someone worthy of you.

Deep breath. Give yourself tonight to be angry. Hide her on FB, and after tonight, don't give her that power anymore.

I'll see her at work anyway on Monday..... In one of her pretty silk blouses, and red soled heels, smiling at me with that look and the pretty glow of her skin. I can just imagine the humiliation. :blushing::blushing:

She has made her feelings pretty clear. To be honest, it's possible you're making her uncomfortable. I strongly advise no more gifts, and backing off altogether. And for the future, save the expensive gifts until you've been dating someone for a while-- say, one year anniversary. A 10k gift is something you give your fiancé or wife, not someone you have a crush on.

I just read this... So sorry to hear this. You sound like a great guy and so much in love with this girl. Please put your pride first and keep your distance. If you have been her friend since childhood by this time she already knows how you feel about her. Take time for yourself and avoid her.

Back to the ring! Call the HQ like someone suggested and explain your situation. Tell them that you definitely will buy your future wife a beautiful ring but for now you need to overcome this situation. Tell them you belong to this forum and everyone speaks so highly about the brand that you completely have faith and trust in a good business decision.

Hope that helps and good luck.!!!
