i woas wondering, what does it mean when a guy gives you jewelery? i got a beautiful expensive bracelet from a BF and then he broke up with me a few days later. i then found out that he had cheated on me???? i dont get it? i guess i assumed that if a guy gives you a gift like that then he has strong feelings for you???? my thought would be that if he wasnt into you then he wouldnt spend the money or effort to pick a piece of jewelery??? any insight??? i am not stupid but always wondered about the gifts guys give you.....

I think in the case of your bracelet, the guy felt really guilty for cheating and bought the bracelet to make it up to you- even though you didn't know he had cheated.

Once a guy I was lightly dating gave me a CZ (which I discovered later) ring and told me it was a diamond. the nerve! This was a 4th date or so. I was so naive I was totally floored!!! But he was a rich guy. He owned a radio station. He could afford it so I thought he really did it. But then guess what I realized later. He did it to get in bed with me. Ofcourse, I saw thru that and totally declined! But he drove 2 hours to come see me so that really confused me. Gosh, "some" men can do anything if they feel they could have a "good time" at the end of it all. He was also extremely scared about "being seen in public with me" since he was like a mini-celebrity in the city. It was just a weird experience dating him. I broke it off with him. He did not seem sincere.
