Do you feel like your dolls have to have a friend or significant other?

started considering buying a second doll alot sooner then i would have because my girl just looked so lonely... her personality is a real people person, and i kept thinking how i dont have so much time to spend on only her, and how lonly she looked up there all alone... now my second doll is on the way, and though they most likely wont get along at all, im happy knowing at least shes not alone anymore.

 

Yes, yes, and yes. >_< This is exactly the reason I've ended up with so many dolls and why it's consequently so hard to sell any of them. Right now in particular it's driving me crazy as I really need to sell some sadly.

 

I think the answer is...sometimes. Everytime I dress them they sort of take on a different personality, if they are both dressed sort of similarly I think of them as friends

 

I don't ever really feel like they need a significant other, just as in real life you don't absolutely need one. I do think a friend or sibling is nice however. I know my future MSD girl will haaaave to have a Yo-SD sibling, she just needs it, being a big sister is part of who she is. She could have a friend, but I don't think she'd really need one, and I know she doesn't need a lover.

 

They don't need one, but some are more fun to have in pairs.

 

i think it's weird ,but i actually do! At least a friend ^-^
i spesiale feel bad if everyone have a par and one dasnt

 

For my girl, well although I only have her for now, I know she has a friend or two and a potential significant other (it's a slightly funny story actually), but of course I don't have them yet. Definitely intend to...just got to figure who's who in the sense of which doll mold. I definitely know that her potential is an IP EID guy (having a hard time deciding) and she has a "familiar" friend...thinking a Luts ZuZu wolffy. But just getting to afford is the issue X.x lol

 

Well, funny enough, I already planned to get my doll a 'partner' once IH release a basic version of their EID girls
This way, we both be happy, he got himself a , er, friend, and I got myself a second gorgeous doll! haha!

 

I don't think my dolls need any girlfriends yet because I haven't found a female doll I like yet. I did however think my first doll needed a brother. My doll is based on an OC who has a brother, so only having the one didn't seem right. They needed to be together to balence each other. I also had another pair of OCs that were good friends, so I ordered both dolls for them. It seems all my OCs are in a pairing of some sort because I like how the different personalities work together.

 

one is loney, two is a pair, three's a collection.

was given that advice after my third sewing machine.

applies to all collections

I do agree though, if you aren't bonding, maybe adopt the BJD out......your "perfect" one may not have been released yet

 

as long as i have at least 2 dolls, i dont really.
if i dont pay much attention to a doll and want to sell it, i wont go all : nuuuu! its ____ best friend!! D:
and my doll will stay single.... so i wont have problem on that side

 

I have two dolls on the way, since one just seems lonely by itself... Well, my two dolls will be friends of some sort, though the height difference is too staggeringly different for them to like, go and do things together... they're also frenemies of sorts (that's what happens when one is a demon)... so I think they'll need more friends of their own in the future :'D
Kyle Reese will eventually have his BFF when I get my Luo, because a guy needs a bud to hang out with... and eventually I want a pukifee ante to be the angel to my demon. Then they'll have each other to tease in tiny adorable antics. The rest of the dolls I want will uhh just kinda fall around them all somehow :'D

I don't plan on getting any of my boys girlfriends, though... I guess I like them single cuz they're miiine LOL. Plus there aren't really any girl SDs that I really, really love, so boo-hoo to them, they'll have to wait.

 

I'm going to say no on this one. But that is again because I'm into the story aspect of the hobby very much and some of my stories don't have happy endings. I also for whatever reason don't feel I have to own the whole story to have it represented to me. I think I could own Kaith without owning Kiyam, knowing that in the story they are together.

I don't necessarily need every character to know the story. I'm sure its a bit of an odd view on things. I do intend to own both a Kaith and a Kiyam. And once I have them I wouldn't sell one without the intent to replace him.

I don't have my doll yet so I can't speak on bonding. That aspect seems... odd to me. But I also have a collectors mentallity, so I bond with everything that doesn't move away to fast. I may find down the road what everyone is talking about, so I'll leave this aspect to people who have encountered it before.

 

I would hate to go back to just one doll. The other would be loney. There aren't any significant others in my story (complicated) but if that was the case, it'd be hard to seperate them... The only thing would be to work it into the story. "A went to [place] to study/help/explore/ect [thing or person]. So B will have to be alone." or a heart-wrenching storyline "A died of malaria" or "A & B could no longer be together because old lover/parents/morals/life goals/ect"

 

My oldskin Volks boy and girl are absolutely paired off. They seem to need each other. But my Hypermaniac boy is MY companion

 

I don't feel that my dolls HAVE to have family or friends or whatever... It's just nice that so far it's turned out that way hehe. I have no issue with selling a doll is it's not fitting in. I have very very set ideas for all of my dolls so if I get one and it don't fit, away it goes.

Do I think my dolls are paired up? Not all of them, but then, I got two kittens to keep my adopted cat company, so, yeah, I'm kind of sensitive to anything with a face being on its own. <g> I prefer to settle them in and not worry about it. Their groups are pretty fixed by now. But I do notice my A&D is always with my Saiph. It's cute.

 

all my dolls have a certain background story, and a lot of the characters have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

At this moment I have 3 boy x girl couples, 1 girl x girl and more gil x girl couples on my wishlist.

I like it when my dolls have relationships. And if they start one, it will be forever. I am not going to change that. That's also why I want my dolls only be paird up with other dolls of myself. If I would let one of my dolls have a relationship with the doll of a friend of mine, and our friendship ends, what about the dolls? And I want my dolls to be happy, not heartbroken. I could never seperate a love couple, not even if they are 'just' dolls.

But not every doll of mine needs a significant other. Some will stay single. It depends on the doll.

Others who don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend do get some best friends though.

I don't know why I pair up most of my dolls. It is just a feeling. Kinda odd maybe, because personally I don't really want a relationship at all. I prefer myself to be single.

 

It's not like my dolls had to have significant others (only two of mine are to each other), but that was the way the stories turned out for their characters whom I've developed long before I ever knew the existence of these dolls, and just having one doll feels incomplete and very boring. Hikaru's just not the Hikaru I imagine without his love interest, Tanya, sitting right next to him.

But the rest of my crew don't have significant others, and I don't feel compelled to find them any either. They have each other and that's fine with me.

 

All of my dolls are independant. I think its cute when people pair up their dolls, but its not for me. They all sort of have their own story lines so they aren't really dependent on eachother for them to make sense for me. If I had to sell one of my dolls for financial issues, it would break my heart, but I guess it wouldn't be as hard for me as the OP cause there isn't that extra link there. I don't feel that dolls NEED to have a partner, but if that is what you want, then there is nothing wrong with that.
