LOL I know what impression this may have set, this story I mean... but...
1) I never offered the ring, nor did I plan to, and since no one saw it, it is as good as non-existent (IMHO).
2) Can't really take it back or attempt a backtracking of sorts. This whole situation is based on belief (that I bought the ring, which I did), but not on physical proof (although, I
did buy the ring). So, they won't believe me if I say I took it back...
3) I continue to deny that I bought it to certain people, to her brother, to her (I would if she asked, I mean)... I only open up about it to the other two roomates...
4) I have, as you guys have admonished, totally and completely left her alone since, although, I never called her, texted her, or visited her at her work (which her family owns), even prior to this, nor would I now, knowing the situation...
5) When she hid from me that one day, my roomate quoted her later as saying, "I still like him (as a friend). Why does it have to be like this?" Make no mistake, I didn't read into that as her
liking me, besides as a friend, but that in itself tells me that there is still hope. I mean, how can she be creeped out? I never offered the ring.
6) Yesterday, I overheard her talking to my other roomate, who was going to Seattle with her brother. He said, "Well, you'll have to park out in the front, but we'll just hurry and hop into (so-and-so's) car..." It's obvious that they were trying to sneak past me. This was a bit heartwrenching.
7) It may sound like I have a drinking problem. I drank heavily that night because my other roomate (the one that owns this house) announced that his mom was peeved at how messy the house is (not really that messy), and that we would all have to disperse in two months. That's what got me drinking, and gave me a sense of urgency to buy the ring. I didn't think I would see this girl again if I didn't live with her brother. Oh, and the drink made me stupidly reveal that I had a Taurus revolver in my closet, and so now I have to leave this house even earlier (by this Friday, in fact).
I appreciate the counsel I have read here, though. Ordinarily I would be going crazy over how this has went, but my main goal was to send a message (not creepiness, though). What keeps me sane is that I still have the ring, can still use it, and that it wasn't me who failed, but the ones who told her about it prematurely. Hopefully she'll remember me as I move away...
