Hi. I have a question. I got my ex gf a promise ring over the summer. I broke up with her a week into school and never had a chance to give it to her. Its been lying around in my room for the past 4 weeks and I am taking her on a platonic date to a play this weekend. Would it be weird if I gave it to her? Also, should I make a big romantic deal out of it by giving a spiel about how she can always remember me by it and how we can always be friends or is that just sappy?
Just fyi I don't want her back physically, but I would like to keep a friendship going.

You can't give a ring to an ex on a "platonic" date. Just keep it for someone else. She, nor the new girl need to know the truth about it. And it's hard being friends with ex's. Though it can be done you have to make sure you can handle her moving on. Good Luck

No, do not give her the ring. You brought the ring when you 2 were dating....you no longer are( you'll be sending her mixed signals) Even if you tell her why you're giving it to her, she'll still have her own opinion of the situation. Just remain friends and see what happens in the future(maybe you'll get back with her) Promise rings usually means something really special to a female. Good luck

I wouldn't give her the ring, it's a sweet gesture, but you'll be sending mixed signals and confuse the crap out of her. It's a promise ring, for marriage right? So, unless you want her to think there's a chance you two will get back don't give it to her. It would definitely be a slap in the face if a guy dumped me then gave me a ring that was suppose to be a promise ring, just to say we can be friends.

Sounds like you're trying to play with this girl's mind.
If you don't want the girl romantically and just wanna be friends, don't tell her about the ring and don't lead her on. Keep it platonic. This is the kind of thing about guys that most girls don't like.
I know you must be busting with pride (or have nothing else better to do) and that's why you wanna talk about the ring and what YOU'VE done (or was about to GIVE her) to show your love. But if she truly means something to you, don't mess with her emotions or play childish games.
This is basically what Keyshia Cole is singing about: Let it go.

Well for starters you already answered your own question. You don't want her back, so why give her a ring thats going to remind her of all the great times that you had as a couple, but cause your "just friends" now, you will never have what you had before, it would be weird and uncomfortable to wear something that once symbolized love and passion. Don't give it to her unless you want to see "your" girlfriend wearing it.

UFC seems to use Ring Girls more often than WWE does. You'd probably be better off playing sports and one day submitting an application to be a WWE Diva. If you are not presenly playing sports, you probably are not going to be selected. WWE wants good looking women who are also athletic. If all you are bringing is good looks, they will select someone else.

Dude, NO!!! Don't give her the ring and hell no, don't make it romantic. You're gonna send her mixed messages like you want to get back with her. In fact, I wouldn't even go to anything that resembled a date. You should be busy searching for a new girl, not hanging out with old ones, it hurts your public appearance and availability!

Don't give her the ring. It is a "promise" ring. What are you promising? Rings should be for people making some kind of committment to each other. If you want to give her a gift, exchange the ring for a necklace or makeup or perfume. NO RING.

girls like sappy romantic ideas...it'd be kinda weird to give it to her as a promise ring cause most people think of those like u promise to marry her one day or something.. friendship ring iono i haven't heard much of guys giving girls rings for friendships.. Do whatever u feel comfortable doing i doubt she'd not like it cause most girls love rings and meanings behind them.
if u don't want her back i wouldn't give it to her cause she might think of it as more and like want u and want to get back together and make it work

I think for me only my opinoin maybe if you give it to her it meaning that you still like her not for the friendship because why you should give a thing some precious one if it nly reason is it just a friendship ring?
Believe me if you gave it her she will think that you still like her.
If you want to do something that you want her to be your only her friend talk to her and tell her if you can be still be firend that's all.
