How should I tell her?

A friend I have at university has been going through some rough times recently and has been quite upset. There is a book she really likes (A Fault In Our Stars I think It is called), and so I obtained a copy of the book and sent it to the author explaining how much she liked the book. And he sent it back signed and with a lovely little note attached for her! Now that I have the book, how should I give it to her. I am meeting her tomorrow and was thinking about giving it to her with some chocolates. Or should I send it to her address anonymously?
No need for the chocolates, just give the book to her in person and with the author's note.


...I think she'll hug you and spill tears over your shoulders :wink:

That's so sweet of you. I think you should just give it to her and chocolates would actually be nice. I can already see her crying tears of joy. Goodluck :biggrin:

Definitely just the book - give her chocolates and she will be worrying about her waistline!

That's so lovely, I'd share the chocolates - not in a romantic way - but just that you're there as a friend

Do you like her as more than a friend? If so, then go for it. If not, it might be a bit much and I'd stick with the chocolates and the book.

This is very sweet, by the way.

She has in the past said she would like us to be more than friends. However, while I would very much like that, I do not want her to feel like she is under pressure and so I have told her that if after Easter she really would like her and I to start dating then all she needs to do is tell me, If not then that is great too and if she wants to be just friends then later changes her mind, that is great too.

Thank you for the help by the way!

get an engagement ring and propose as well right after youve given it to her, and also chocolates and flowers too would help

Just give it to her wrapped, remember: If in doubt keep it simple and sweet. The chocolates might be over-doing it but then again from what my girlfriend intimates, chocolate is the only safe bet when a woman feels ****.
