A friend of mine from work gave me this amazing diamond pendant as a Christmas present. Does it mean he wants to be more than friends? We’ve enjoyed a strictly platonic relationship and I’m not really interested in him in that way and worried that he may want to be more than just work friends. What does the diamond pendant mean and what should I do??

I think its a bit suspicious for a coworker to give you a diamond pendant. Don't people usually spend 15 or 20 dollars on each other or do a chris kringle type of thing? I think you need to be clear to this guy that you just want to be friends. It is quite possible that this was his way of telling you that he feels something for you. You can also try to figure out based on what he got everyone else in the office. If he bought the other women a bottle of lotion and you got a diamond pendant..... I think you have your answer

A diamond pendant is a wonderfully versatile gift. A pendant can be given with romantic intention but it can also be a strictly platonic gift. For example, a diamond pendant would be a wonderful anniversary or engagement gift, however, a diamond pendant can also be appropriate as a holiday present or as a friendship gift. I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions… I suggest you try and find out his intentions in regards to your relationship. What he’s expecting, whether he realizes that you’re not interested in him romantically… You can set things straight and if he does profess that the pendant was meant as a romantic gift you can always return it to him. I wouldn’t worry too much, it could be that he just has money to spend and wanted to show you how special your friendship is and how much he appreciates you. He may not even realize that a diamond pendant is significant in any way, you may find that his intentions are perfectly innocent.
