Being engaged to someone is pretty much the same as being married and no single man should be giving gifts to a married women. Period.WHAT???? I have plenty of married female friends that I give gifts to. No harm involved. I think the thing Robert needs to keep in mind is that he shouldn't give a 'Romantic' gift that looks like he's trying to break her apart from her fiance.
Give the gift as a good 'friend' and don't expect anymore than just friendship right now. Be her best friend and if the engagement or marriage doesn't work out, then you'll most likely be the one she turns to for consoling.
Expressing yourself as a friend really shouldn't freak her out in any way. But I will agree with Ryan Wright about expressing yourself as anything more. Either you'll scare her away or she'll think twice about the engagement and that's a gamble you shouldn't make. Being her best friend will prove just how much you care for her (without it being in a creepy/threatening sort of way), and if she has any doubts about her engagement, she'll most likely confide with you about them...and maybe something will happen between you, but you gotta let her make that first move because you're in rocky territory.
The one thing you don't want her to do is to break off the engagement so quickly. I don't think you'd want to be dating a woman who changes her mind as quickly as that, because she may just turn around and do the same to you in a few years.
