I have a super sweet regular customer; he's a blast to spend time with ITC, he will come in whenever I call and also gives me money when I don't feel like working. My knee gives me trouble sometimes and one night I couldn't work, so he gave me $500 to help me out...we also see each other OTC on occasion. To be honest, I was hoping to turn this into a sugar daddy/baby relationship. He isn't always a high spender; he's military and younger than I am, but he's always more than happy to take me out and spoil me. Also, he has a little bit of a jealousy issue, so if he comes in, he takes me into VIP so he can have me to himself.
Well...
Last night, he asked me to meet him OTC so he could give me something. We had dinner and took a walk....he told me about splitting with his ex before he moved here. He said they planned on marrying, until she cheated on him and he left her. He's extremely bitter and jaded, thus his jealousy issue. He told me about how happy he is to meet such a beautiful woman, (aka me) that he can't wait to settle down, etc....and then he pulled out a gorgeous $2500 diamond ring. O.O
I've received smaller gifts, like mini shopping sprees and cash to get my tooth cut out, but nothing like this. And now I'm wondering if I should even accept it. He didn't put it in the form of a proposal, but I'm sure that's how it is in his mind. I see it as a gift.
If I have to cut him off, which I will eventually, would I have to give back the ring? It's not calling off an engagement, but it's technically an engagement ring. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of court....to be honest, i'd just want to sell it, but I don't know if I can under rightful ownership. If court sees it as an engagement, it's still his ring. If it's a gift, then it's obviously mine, right?
