That so describes a relationship I didn't quite have.

If you like him as more than a friend, you date him. If not, just be honest. He will probably be hurt (I know I hate the "I just really want to be friends" speech; then again, I usually hear it after I've been dating a girl, and buying her stuff left and right), but if he is really your friend, he will continue to be.

But if you don't want to date him, don't take the necklace. He will resent it, even if he doesn't admit it, and it will poison the friendship. In the back of his mind, he'll come up with a hundred other things he could have spent the money on.

"Way too late for that" is the story of my life. *grin*

A few weeks ago I had a girl tell me: "You're the perfect boyfriend. You're caring, attentive, and fun to be with. I desparately want to fall in love with you... But I can't." But I'm still nuts about her and we're still friends which gives me plenty of opportunity to make an idiot of myself over her.

Or how about girl likes boy & boy likes girl, but more than girl likes boy, so girl breaks it off now because she's only a freshman & doesn't want to get serious.

What about the cycle of girl likes boy but boy likes girl "too much" and has to split sooner rather than later, because otherwise it will hurt boy "too much" when they eventually finally have to part for reasons that are unclear at present but will be determined no doubt at the proper time...
My daughter's friend actually had to live through that one.

He's probably in the "she-looks-at-my-wallet-as-if-she-owns-it" phase of the relationship and doesn't want to let on to his friend that he can't pay for the meal until the loan payment on the fur stole is paid off.
