I am having a very tough time choosing a birthday gift for one of my friends. This person is a girl that I really like a lot we have been pretty close for a while now, I tell her that she is beautiful all the time. There is a lot of little comments that are shared between us all the time. I have asked her out and she just said that she is not ready to date yet. She has had her share of assholes in the past and is being a little hesitant. I gave her a dozen roses last week cause she needed to be cheered up and she liked them very much now her birthday is coming up and what I want to give her I have narrowed down to two things
1. a hand held gps
2. a diamond necklace braclet or ring
The gps that I want to give her is $350 dollars and that is how much I would spend on the other.
SO ladies, the question is what would have more impact on your heart from one of your guy friends? I am leaning mostly twards a necklace, What do you think?

I would not do jewelry. It may appear as though you are trying to buy her affection or coerce her. It may scare her away. I would not spend a lot of money either. It could backfire on you and have the same effect as jewelry.
I would go with something simple like a fun dinner out and maybe a nice candle, bottle of wine, her favorite perfume or lotion, a gift cert from a spa for a massage.
Keep it simple and keep it friendly. It will mean more to her and she will understand you care without feeling any obligation or making it awkward for both of you.

If that someone is special... I'll definitely recommend a ring...
here are tips for a good ring..
If you are planning on proposing to that special someone then you have a big decision ahead of you. There is always a bit of nervousness that comes with this life changing event and that is completely normal. You want everything to be perfect and above all else, you need the timing to work with the big question. But in order to do this you need the perfect engagement ring. This can be some tricky business for those that have not ventured into this realm before and it is hard to trust the work on commission sales clerks at the jewelry store to say the least. There are a few rules of thumb that you should follow to make the process a bit easier.
The perfect engagement ring should cost an equal amount to three months salary. This may sound like a bit much but that is the way that it has been for quite a while now. This comes from the diamond cartels that control the market and they know how to price a diamond. So in essence, if you make $1000 a month then the engagement ring that you select should cost around $3000. Of course you should always go with what you can afford and it is not a good idea to go into a marriage with a huge credit card bill from the purchase, so make a responsible decision but remember that this is a one time deal.
The perfect engagement ring should also reflect upon the person wearing it as well. If the person that you are purchasing it for prefers gold then you should not go with silver or platinum. You do not want something that will stand out or look bad on the persons finger to say the least. Also you want to make sure that the quality of the metal is good. There are some handsome looking rings floating around that are actually poorly made and the last thing that you want is some thing that will fall apart before the big day.
Be very aware of the cut and clarity of the stone. The size does not matter as much as the quality of the diamond in question. If you have a large stone that is extremely flawed then you have one of the worst bargains in the world. Make sure that you are getting only the best quality for the money that you are spending.

I think that she would really like the necklace more than the ring because if you give her the ring she may think that you are trying to rush here and if she is not ready to date yet then you want to give her more time. The necklace will show sensitivity and show her how much you care about her.

I think that since right now you're just friends jewelry would be too much, too intimate and personal. Go with the GPS (I know I would like that). I'm 34, by the way.

I do not thing for a friend any of those gifts are right!. Ask her out to dinner, and since you are just friends, tell her she can invite another couple, or some one in her family, and the tab is on you..

well she's not ready to date you yet so giving her a necklace or bracelet or ring might be a lil too sensitive. that's a present i would want from a bf or husband not a regular guy friend.

Bravo on looking and cherishing love! Who cares what the labels are. Does it fairly count number "who's the lesbian" once you evaluate that small complication to the enormity of your thoughts and dedication to at least one yet another? human beings will attempt to label you and pigeonhole you (be careful -- maximum will be unkind or maybe adversarial, even family individuals and pals), yet your job is to concentration on your relationship. in case you like it to proceed, manage it no in a distinct way than in case you've been a hetero couple. verbal substitute, respect, and staying power will be in basic terms as significant. solid success.

Man is she a lucky girl. How long have you been pursuing this? If it's been a long time I wouldn't buy her nothing real expensive. Maybe just dinner and a nice card will do. Good luck!
