Say your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Wanted To Buy You A Doll,

I would say yes ! of course its a doll xD well, lol not being to harsh to my partner but, i will let my partner help me on buying that doll by giving me the money my partner can affor to give me in order to buy my dream doll, that's a big help even though my partner didn't bought it but my partner helped me in buying the doll

 

I'd try (and probably fail) to stop him. Not because I don't appreciate it, but because I'd feel bad about him spending that kind of money on something for me, while I'd probably not be able to do the same for him.
If he wanted to, say, give me money for my b-day or something to help me get the next doll sooner, I might accept that because a) it's a birthday present and b) it's not as wildly out of proportion. But letting him buy me a full doll? No way.

 

I would be slightly uncomfortable if my husband wanted to buy me a doll. If he wanted to contribute towards a doll, that would be sweet, but outright purchasing an entire doll is an expense I'd feel uncomfortable accepting. If he bought a doll for me unassisted and it wasn't a doll I was interested in, we'd talk about it and work something out. If he bought it because he really liked it, maybe he could keep it for himself. Otherwise we'd sell it. I wouldn't keep it just because he purchased it for me if I truly didn't like it. I'm not a doll owner that keeps dolls for sentimental reasons.

 

I would ask my doll to buy me a boyfriend.

 

I don't think my boyfriend (long term/eight years) would really be interested in looking at doll stuff really..I show him things or tell him things I'm looking at that's doll related and he's fine, but it's not his hobby and I understand that as he understands it is mine. I guess he's always gotten me things I really want in the past..he got me Skyrim after it came out for Christmas and he gets me art related things and gave me like 15 books I wanted from my list last year. So maybe he would but I don't know...I still haven't gotten my Christmas gifts from him from this past Christmas because he forgot to put them in his car before he left to come visit last (he lives near Toronto and I'm in Chicago currently)..I highly doubt he's getting me a doll because I just recently in the new year considered purchasing my first one and have been looking at mannnyyy different dolls. Who knows about the future though, we'll see. Money will be tight once we move in together so probably not for awhile if it ever does happen, it would be a nice surprise though. (I just hope he remembers the small gift his granny got for me next time he visits so I can open it and write her a nice thank you note and apologize for her grandson's poor planning haha)

@ichelintan hehe that's clever

 

I would be really tempted to say yes because, well, hey, it's a doll! It takes two+ years for me to save up enough money for one and for someone else to offer to buy one for me is an opportunity that is 1) rare 2) awesome!!! But it'd just feel wrong to me. Even with gifts that are over $20 I feel a sense of guilt when people spend that kind of money on me, so for the better of my conscience and the better of their wallet I'd probably say no.

 

"I love you!" Would be the first words that would come out of my mouth.

 

That'd be sweet, but I'm happy with where my collection is at the moment so I'd have to decline. ^^

 

My boyfriend would get me one most likely.. But I would still decline it cuz I already got one and might have trouble caring for another..

But's they're still so pretty and irresistible! > <

 

If my fiance offered, honestly I'd be in shock. He really only tolerates them. Then I'd probably cry because it would be a really beautiful gesture considering how he feels about dolls, especially if he let me pick any doll I wanted. (He likes Dollfie Dreams and dolls like that, not so much resins)

 

I'd be super shocked! Just out of the blue like that? I'd think she wanted something from me... But if they really wanted to, I'd graciously accept and then pretty much do whatever they wanted me to do for months until it comes, ahaha ^ ^ I'd take her out for dinner every weekend!

But surprisingly I have entertained the thought of buying a doll for my friend... Maybe later u.u

 

Well my husband bought me several dolls while we were still dating and is still buying me dolls today. I never asked him to buy me any, he just wanted to do it because he loved me and wanted to make me happy. I said no at first but he insisted and would have picked out my dolls himself if I said no. I always make him help me decide what doll I'm getting if he's buying or helping me buy one.

A gift is a gift, I'd love any doll he got me regardless of how it looked.

 

I wouldn't allow it. I would react really sourly if a SO bought me a doll or even persistently hinted at wanting to do that for me. It's too big of a debt and too risky on emotional/personal interest/investment levels. I always feel the need to repay back what I'm given with interest even if I don't like the gift, so large gifts like this stress me out to no end. And I find it rude for someone to casually throw that kind of money around without a lot of thought and communication surrounding it first. As someone in the "poor" class, grand gestures like that disgust rather than flatter me. It's one thing to buy it for youself or for your wife/husband after much discussion. Anything other than that seems gross to me.

 

Ah, wishful thinking... I seriously doubt my boyfriend would buy me a doll without me browbeating him into it (which I wouldn't, that's too much for me to ever ask him to spend). He thinks they're creepy and a couple of mine "stare at him"... it's funny. But I do think he'd buy me one if he had enough money and he knew what he was doing when it came to ordering. It's a toss-up. :P

 

I don't know... if an ex had bought me a doll and we broke up I would keep the doll, especially if I really liked said doll. I got rid of most of the stuff my exes had given me except for things I liked too much (movies/games). I would prefer a boyfriend not buy me something so expensive... it could end up a custody battle where they fight to get it back (had that happen but not with a BJD).

My fiance bought me my first doll and I have no problem with it, I get him nice stuff too so it's not just him spoiling me it goes both ways so it doesn't feel bad for me. He said he had no problem buying the doll because, "a happy wife is a happy life," I laughed at him but at least I know there's another doll as a gift in the future hahaha

 

Hahaha! I wish DoA had a like button

 

I was thinking the same thing Bron! haha

 

I would feel rather uncomfortable with the idea of a boyfriend buying me a doll. My ex bought me a ring as a present once ("it doesn't have diamonds so it's not an engagement ring!") while completely ignoring everything that I am interested in in terms of jewelry and ornaments because "malachite and hematite are too cheap for you!" and bought the most expensive emerald encrusted monstrosity he could find. And proceeded to spring it on me, at Christmas, when all my family were there, so I couldn't reject the gift because everyone would ask "what's wrong? what's wrong." I felt horribly guilty over the whole thing, and ended up staying with him a few months longer than I would have if he hadn't bought me the ring, because I felt uncomfortable about what breaking up with someone after they've given you such an expensive gift says about a person.

.... He never asked for the ring back when we broke up, and now I'm in the midst of questioning whether or not I should sell it to raise money for my third doll... on the one hand it's a horrible ring and it's taking up space, on the other hand.... do I want a gift from my disliked ex to pay for something I like so much?

I don't want a repeat of this situation to happen ever again.

 

I already have trouble accepting expensive gifts from anyone other than family. We've been together for 5+ years, and I can't say I'd be angry if he did, but I'd never expect so much of him. By this time in our relationship, I'd be surprised if we were going to be with anyone else other than each other (though obviously I know things happen and never say never), so it's not like I'd worry that I'd still see him in the doll if we ever went our separate ways... But half of the joy that comes from looking at my dolls is knowing how long I waited and how tough it was to save up for them.

Maybe, however, I'd get a different kind of joy out of one that was gifted to me. Like looking at the perfect piece of jewelry someone bought for you completely out of left field. This Christmas my stepmother bought me the most beautiful cameo set I'd ever seen, and the last time I remember asking for something like that was the year prior. It was probably the first gift in a long time I hadn't really expected, and the feeling of awe I got from it was amazing. I could see myself feeling the same amount of awe from a doll, though I probably would feel obligated to get him something nice back... Which would be difficult with my financial situations at the moment.

 

i guess i'm kind of too proud to let someone buy a doll for me? if one were to contribute money to my doll fund that's fine. but if they were to buy a doll i don't like i'd have an issue because i wouldn't want to sell it for fear of hurting my partner's feelings!
