    This guy is one of those sensitive artistic guys, great fashion sense etc. I don't know if he's gay or not, don't want to take risks, and i live a a homophobic country. I'm thinking of buying him a necklace but I want to know how do I present it without looking romantic and making things awkward.

    But, you're in "Northern Americas"?! What kind of necklace would you want to get him? It's going to be awkward any way you look at it.

    The are like a dozen countries that fit into that region, i'm on the lower edge of that area. It's either a necklace with a keyblade, a sharktooth or a his zodiac symbol.

    Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. Nothing comes without risk. Just tell him you think he's a great friend and you want him to have it. I wouldn't even mention sexuality. Don't say you aren't gay, but you don't have to say you are either..

    Be open about it; say you got it because you think he'd like it and it suits him. You can also throw in the (true) justification that he's a good friend.

    To immediately explain how very unromantic the gift is would be the more suspicious thing to do.

    Giving him a necklace is gonna be a little awkward and romantic any way you slice it. However, that being said, nothing good comes from living life cautiously. Why tip-toe through your life only to arrive safely at death?? Am I raight, or am I right? Long story short, go for it and don't care what anyone thinks.
