You may have seen my other question but anyway - I split up with my girlfriend nearly a month ago - we only went out for a month but we have known each other longer before. Well anyway we are still good friends, and I'm 'over' her so to speak, but I still want to be there for her and keep her close by.
Anyway! She showed me this ring while we were going out, just casually and when she showed me it I thought "I'm going to buy that for her!". Well - I still want to buy it for her, most likely give it to her for christmas, or just before because I think she's going away. Is it wierd for a guy to give a girl a ring as a gift? It wouldn't signify anything would it? I just want to do something nice for her =]

Yes, it is weird for a guy to buy a ring for a girl who is not his girlfriend. To me, when a guy buys a ring it shows a romantic comittment, not "just friends". If you bought it for her, it would signify a lot. It would show that you paid attention to the little things since she just casually mentioned it. But it would also show that you still care about her in a romantic way.
I read your other questions and you said that she began acting distant because you were coming on too strong. Obviously she broke up with you because she didn't want the same things you want, or wanted some distant. If you buy her a ring you are going to push her away even more. It may seem like a nice thing to do, but to her, you would be coming on too strong again. You may end up losing her as a friend if you do this.

Check your heart. Sounds like you are not over her and still have residual feelings. If this is a breakup - the last thing you want to do is buy a ring. A ring to a girl is very significant. You are making some kind of commitment when you put a ring of any kind on a girl's finger....be it pearl, diamond, birthstone, or some other ring. Forget the ring. You need to talk to her, establish what you both think friendship is and how far it should go.

I think if you still want to give it to her, play it down. Say you bought it while you where still together and you just thought it would be a shame for her not to have it. The bottem line is in any cercumstance if you are going to give a girl a ring and its not an engagement ring act as if its not a big deal... cause the fairer sex is likely to over react.

Over her? Sorry doesn't sound like it LOL
To be honest she might interpret it as more than a friendly gift, I don't know, it depends how good friends you are

better off giving her a gift card for that store and let her do the actual buying of it with the card....

Sure why not. And like the other comment said. We don't think you ARE "Over" her.
