For those of you with dolls who have lovers.. (or want one)

I prefer owning both. I don't think I would be comfortable enough to pair my girl with someone's else. Besides, I don't really know any males who aren't taken. most of guys of my country's collectors already have pairs. Besides, I want to have a guy in my family as well. And I know I will make lots of photostories of them together. I have already planned some of them. Now I only need to save money for the guy.

 

I plan to get a girl for my Tony...he needs a girlfriend....I'd like to get him one he can see on a regular basis

 

I tried coupling my fellers up with other people's dolls through roleplaying but loooooooooord, I could not keep up with it. T__T I'm too lazy to keep that sort of thing going, from the look of it, and when you have a doll in a relationship with another person's doll, if them characters don't interact, then you get that longing and pining. _xD Eeeeh, that part's no fun and so I came to the conclusion that I'm just not cut out for that.

So two of my fellers are together within my own little group, now. There are a few reasons for this--one is that the relationship between these two has created some character development that both of them badly needed. And secondly, sometimes if I'm just feeling a little romantic, I can take them out and snap some romantic pictures. xB Because part of the hobby is self-expression and sometimes I just feel like takin' romantic pictures. Ba-boom!

 

What a great topic, I am indeed one of those people who thinks about everything also.

-Do you prefer to have your doll fall for one of your own dolls or someone else's? Why?
I prefer to have the couples under my roof. It's easier to shoot them and for them to be together. Although if someone lived very close to me I would not be against my dolls dating out of the house.

-If someone else's. In person or internet?
It would be in person, I think internet would take up too much of my own time. Also stop them from having shoots together, which I think is part of the fun of having a couple.

-If you have the choice of either (ruling out financial problems, originality or lack of, etc), which would you prefer?
Am I being really dumb? I don't understand this question.

-If both your own, what do you do to enjoy said relationship?
I shoot them together and write the story of how they meet.

For you guys who have both dolls of your lover pair:
-When you get or got the second doll, do you or did you plan to have him/her be your first doll's love or it just turned out that way?
I plan them to be with the first doll. In some ways it's eaiser because I know exactlt what they'd like because I invented their life. I can imagine finding a partner not at home would be quite hard, almost like looking for an ideal human partner for yourself.

 

For the back story for my doll, she has a lover that she is trying to find. I already know I want to buy a doll for his character, but I don't know which one. I already know how I want him to be and what I would like him to look like, so I think it would be hard to have her lover belong to someone else. I would rather just get the boy myself. Plus, it would be hard to find someone who would want to have their doll take on that role. Then again, maybe for a future doll that has a less rigid background, I wouldn't mind roleplaying with someone else's doll as their significant other. As long as it didn't get weird. o.o lol

 

this is such a cute topic! XD
-Do you prefer to have your doll fall for one of your own dolls or someone else's? Why?
- my doll already has her couple, as a matter of fact they are married, but i don't have the man yet, iam ordering him at the beginning of the new year


-If both your own, what do you do to enjoy said relationship?
i love it!!!! i can't wait until my Mortimer is finally home (Arvid ipplehouse) i'll have a blast with them both!!!!! sorry, iam such a romantic fool , i'll be taking lots of pictures and working on the completion of their lovely home, LOL!!

i always planned it that way, they are part of a novel i started writing in 06

 

Do you prefer to have your doll fall for one of your own dolls or someone else's? Why?
It has never occurred to me to form doll relationships with another owner's dolls. My imaginary worlds are quite private and special to me, and it'd be a very, very close friend whom I'd share my imagination with. None of my good friends RP or own BJDs, so all my doll relationships are "in-house".

If you have the choice of either (ruling out financial problems, originality or lack of, etc), which would you prefer?
I'm not sure, really! I'm happy with the relationships in my crew, but it would be nice (and creativity-stimulating) to have a doll relationship with someone else. I haven't RPed char relationships with other RPers for many years. OTOH, I'm quite possessive of my imaginary worlds and characters -- so that other person would have to make a doll lover in MY made-up world.

When you get or got the second doll, do you or did you plan to have him/her be your first doll's love or it just turned out that way?
From my perspective, it's planned to some degree. By the time a new doll comes home, I already know the relationship, ie. I don't buy a new doll and then later develop an idea of lovers later on. But from the doll character's perspective, it depends -- whether s/he already has a lover from backstory (in which case, the lover's presence is "backdated"), or didn't initially, but I got inspired by the new sculpt and started a new relationship. I generally know my doll characters very well, love lives included -- the RPer in me has already made a "character sheet" for them.

 

I never had that feeling of pairing up my dolls...probably because they are all boys and their characters were not the kind of having a relationship as of yet...until I got my MSD girl, that is. =)

As soon as I got her, I wanted to get her a boyfriend^^ but none of my boys worked that way... one is asexual, the other one seemed like he hates her (he's always grumpy xD) soooo I thought of the perfect character for her and I just found the mold!

However, I'm afraid that as soon as he get here he will not work out as I planned. So far, I have many stories ideas and I'm even writing their meeting and how they fall in love.


-Do you prefer to have your doll fall for one of your own dolls or someone else's? Why?

One of my own. I don't know anyone with a BJD around here and I don't like to deal with people via the internet (plus I have no time for that)

-If someone else's. In person or internet?
If I knew someone in person, I would not mind. But not from the internet...I tried to do it like 5 years ago and it was a fiasco. Never again.

-If you have the choice of either (ruling out financial problems, originality or lack of, etc), which would you prefer?

I admit that it would interesting to have a friend in person with a BJD and have both our dolls fall in love, she would manage that doll's character and I would love to see how everything turns out...but no friend with dollies to play with


-If both your own, what do you do to enjoy said relationship?

I would try to make photostories of the things I write or imagine for them

For you guys who have both dolls of your lover pair:
-When you get or got the second doll, do you or did you plan to have him/her be your first doll's love or it just turned out that way?

When I get my soon-to-be-ordered doll, I'm planning to have him as my first doll's love I just hope it turns out that way and that he doesn't become a different character because he is going to be purchased for that sole reason.

 

Since my dolls are characters from a game I was in, their relationship was pretty much guaranteed from the moment I decided I wanted even one of them as a doll. It was a very unhealthy relationship so I actually feel a little bad keeping them posed together, like "Merak don't do anything to her while my back is turned!"

Things'll probably get weirder when I evetually get Masaki, her former lover. But I think there'll be some really amazing photoshoots with their triangle dynamic. Complicated doll relationship politics...

I don't think I would have been happy if someone else owned part of my little group, mostly because I want their story to be unaffected by my own relationships. What if I wasn't getting along with the other owner anymore? Would that mean an automatic end to my doll's relationship, too?

 

Some of my dolls have had unrequited crushes on the dolls of people who I interact with on doll forums, but mostly I like to have them paired with my own dolls.

 

-Do you prefer to have your doll fall for one of your own dolls or someone else's? Why?
I have both types, owned couples and someone else owns the other doll. For when the other doll is owned by another: I enjoy the interaction, writing letters, doing photoletters and such. For owning the couple: It is cute seeing them together, and easier to do photostories about them.

-If someone else's. In person or internet?
Internet. Sadly no one seems to be collectors in my town. But that didnt stop the other owner and I, we do photoletters, send presents in the mail, even had the doll sent here so they could be together for a bit.

-If you have the choice of either (ruling out financial problems, originality or lack of, etc), which would you prefer?
N/a

-If your doll's significant other has a different owner, do you take pictures, role play, chat in-character, have their backstories figured out, plan out their future or do anything else with the dolls?
Yeah, all that, send letters, do photoletters, send presents, make plans to either have the dolls sent to their home or to my home.

-If both your own, what do you do to enjoy said relationship?
I also have two couples that I own both dolls. Its nice seeing them sit together, I also do photostories, shoots, and stuff like that.

-When you get or got the second doll, do you or did you plan to have him/her be your first doll's love or it just turned out that way?
In both cases it just turned out that way. I tend to prefer having the other doll owned by someone else since I like the interaction.

-How do you find that other someone for your doll? Or do you wait for them to find your boy/girl? (For example, do you go to doll meets and they met and fell for each other there? Or post a role play ad of your boy/girl and hope other role players find you, etc.)
In my case, I post a photostory friend request, and it progresses from there. Most the time they stay friends, unless the other owner is alright for it to be more.

 

I think it would be fun both ways--okay, that sounds kinda wrong. XD The advantage to having both with you is that they'll always be together and you can update their story regularly. It's fun to have your doll date someone else's too, though; my doll used to date a doll owned by my friend (they broke up, but they're still good friends) and it was fun interacting and learning more things about the other doll.

I'd be open to letting my dolls date/have relationships with that of other owners', but I would prefer someone in our local doll community so they could see each other often.

 

My sweety will have a mate as soon as I find her the perfect mate. She has not swayed toward male or female yet-she can go either way. i thought I foung the perfect mate, but she didn't like him. She wouldn't even look his way. So back to hunting, to cure her lonely gaze.

 

Well, my sister and I both bought MSD's, hers the boy and mine the girl, with the intent to have them as a couple. But I've also found two more that I'm going to (eventually) buy that will also be a couple . . .

I dunno, I like to couple them, and/or design certain ones to be siblings of other ones because I think it gives them more character. But that's just me.

 

I want to let them fall for someone elses doll.. Cus then it'll be much more different than if you know everything about both C: In person, or else one can't take picture of them together XD we chat it out, they're stories and moments and make it into photostories afterwards ^^

 

When I first started in the BJD hobby seven years ago, I was fascinated by those who had "out-of-house" relationships between their dolls, and I thought of it as something to aspire to! The following year, I had several "out-of-house" relationships going, and they remain in place for the most part, though we're all doing less stories in general with our dolls, relationships and otherwise. Doesn't mean we're all not friends anymore, but Real Life is getting in the way more, and we're running low on energy.

 

I like to own both of a pair, but for my dolls that I don't have a specific significant other for, I like to see who in my local doll community might have a doll that my doll would hit it off with. As of yet, all of my dolls are single except for a pair of tinies, and I do have two other couples PLANNED (I only have one half of each pair!), but I've got three more girls planned who don't have partners...

 

Either one, really. Depends on if the characters "click". I know some people don't like pairing their dolls up with other dolls outside their storyline, but I'm not one of them, and neither are my closest friends, so, there's a chance there might be romance outside my own collection.
Plus ... the majority of my wishlist consists of straight females so a lot of them are going to be alone for a while if they don't find love outside my own doll collection.

 

For those of you who want a relationship for your doll(s):
-Would you rather have their ideal significant other in your own possession or seek out someone else with said ideals?

I'd rather have the SO in my possession. That way I can take pictures of them together any time I want,and I don't have to consult another person before I do something with their storyline. I'm really interested in this topic right now because I have a boy on pre-order who's meant to be a boyfriend for one of my other dolls. I even have their first date photo shoot all planned out.

 

Most of my dolls are shelling characters in a rather grim world that's planned out, so there are a handful of couples planned out. (But most of the characters are single and happy with that!) I'm trying to get them all under one roof to be frank, since I doubt anyone would really want their characters to live in the dystopian world that mine reside in!

The doll I've currently got on layaway is intended as a shell for the character that is a love interest for the first character I shelled, once he's in that'll be the 1st partnership I've got physically.
