Re: OK, so here it is (A long-winded story)...

I bought this girl a somewhat expensive ring. I'm just one of many, many guys she knows, and I don't know her as well as some of her guy friends. I never got a chance to present it, because one of my roomates told her I got it, and so her older siblings and my roomates have kept me from seeing her or presenting it, claiming that it would be awkward for her. Creepy or weird as it may be, what positive message might there have been in this move? I felt like I had to do something extreme, because there was something that came up that made me think I wouldn't see her for a long time. I wasn't going to even give it to her unless I knew for sure that I wouldn't see her for the prolonged period of time I had feared. I just hope the message got across, if anything. People have been calling me weird, so I haven't called her or anything, and won't until (if) things cool down.

Oh, BTW, I've never talked to her on the phone or visited her at work. I saw her a lot because her brother was one of my roomates. Everyone has told me that she thinks it's weird. I kinda believe them, but is she like... angry do you think? I'm trying to assess what has gone on. I have not been able to see her because one of my roomates (who owns this house) told her not to come because I fell for her so much, and he told me that if I tried to contact her I would be creepy, so I haven't at all.

It seems like the gesture of a lonely guy or "hopeless romantic," and I admit that I can be both of those things, but this certainly, certainly ISN'T something I've made a habit of, or do all the time. I'm not rich. As a matter of fact, I'm way in debt, and this girl knows it. I'm not trying to "buy" her love, but I did intend to be outspoken. Interestingly, I've never, ever given gifts in my life, and somehow word of this idea got out to her older siblings before I even bought the ring, and I could tell that they were trying to bring it up, and she kept telling them not to. All the while I also pretended not to know what they were trying to talk to me about, and played ignorance.

Also, she has no idea what kind of ring it is or what it looks like. All she knows is the price range (>$3000). That's not a lot, is it? Only one person was with me when I got it, and only one person saw me carrying the bag it was in (one of my 3 roomates). I have so far vehemently denied that I ever bought it based on this, and have only gone as far as admitting that I thought about it, and "maybe" browsed a jewelry store.

Coincidentally, the roomate that owns this house is kicking me out next month, not for this controversy, but for having a gun in my closet that I didn't declare (He is very religious and anti-gun), but it didn't really click in my head since he already prohibited this girl from ever coming over anyway, and I had also not planned on presenting it to her until next month, but now I realize, though, that there are very few avenues that I would have a chance to present it, now, and that aforementioned "departure" I had feared, is definitely taking place now. What do I do? I can't see past this.
