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

I would hint the doll i like to avoid him getting one that i wouldnt have an interest in . Yes i would probabaly resell it if I dont like it .

 

When my boyfriend and I first started dating I would not have been comfortable with him buying me a doll. After dating about a year he was fishing for more expensive gift ideas and specifically said nothing practical, so I jokingly threw out the idea of 'a doll.' I knew he couldn't afford one and I wouldn't have been comfortable with him buying me one. At this point in our relationship (4 years of dating and having talked frankly about the fact that we both plan to be in this for the long haul), if he bought be a doll I'd be fine with it. I trust he knows me well enough that if he wanted it to be a surprise I think he'd find something that fit my tastes, but for something as expensive as a doll I'd rather be in on the choosing process. I would walk him through the dolls I specifically have on my wish list, tell him which ones I want more, explain the characters behind them, and then also take him through dolls I've liked, but that have not made it onto my wish list yet. I'd show him a variety of sizes and price points so that he would make the final decision on which exact doll to get me and how much he was willing/able to spend on it.

 

I would love it, but he'd have to be saving up for it secretly or something... since we share all of our funds. xD It wouldn't make sense for him to try to buy me one with the money we have now. Lol. But I would love it! No matter what sculpt and whatnot. Just that it was a gift from him would make me happy.

 

I'd rather have a doll I might or might not like over jewelry that I might or might not like. Haha. But I would assume if our relationship was to the point where he was buying me one and he was the type to buy me one... he would know my tastes in dolls. If I didn't feel comfortable about it I would just be honest with him.

 

I think that would be so wonderful! > w <
Being him, he wouldn't keep it a secret; OR he would keep it a secret, but months ahead of time he'd ask about my dolls and if I'm looking at certain ones sneakily and figure it out. < w <
I'm always open to babble on about my dolls.

He gets me clothes for mine all the time though! (Of course, asking which ones I want.)

 

I think it's great when a SO appreciates your love of something so much that they want to contribute to it. That being said I would be thrilled if my husband bought me something. Although he would just ask me what I liked because he really doesn't know anything about dolls. But I would be worried if one of my boyfriends had ever bought me one. When we were still dating and he was stationed in Japan he sent me some awesome Japanese dolls. I don't think I would have been able to keep them if the relationship had soured. They were so beautiful and reminded me of him so much. Plus I've seen horror stories of people destroying dolls given to them by a SO after the relationship ended that make me cringe! Why not just sell it so that someone else can love it?

 

a surprise would be amazing and greatly loved, boyfriends?... if he was filthy rich and it wouldn't matter monitarily... maybe. the idea of having something expencive around from someone you could end up never wanting to see again... i dunknow. A hubby, sure why not, no one thinks anything of expensive jewlery so why not a doll that will likely be loved more LOL.

 

I just learned today that my partner is buying me Souldoll's Yeon-Bee for my upcoming birthday. This is a total surprise and I was not supposed to find out lol. I did not want any other doll but my Sarah but now I am getting Yeon-Bee. I am afraid I will not become fond of her because I did not pick her out. I have been looking at her all morning and made a waiting icon for my signature so I can prepare myself. Still not sure how my partner came upon Yeon-Bee but she said she likes her too and would make a nice friend for Sarah. I am thinking my partner actually likes her but is too tough to admit it lol. I guess I will wait and see how it goes.

 

Well, my boyfriend would be glad if he could buy me a doll but unfortunately he have most important things to pay. He doesn't like BJDs too much, but he understands how much I love them, and he likes to see me happy. So, of course, a dolly present would be very appreciated, but he would ask me before purchasing anything because he knows I'm very nitpick with faces xD
If he buys one I don't like much, I would tell him, but I would never sell it, after all it's something he has buy putting his heart on it, and I would take care of that doll as my precious treasure, as everything he has bought to me in this six years.

 

Witchcraft: I'd love it if my partner were to surprise me like that! I hope you can get attached to her; she looks really cute.

 

My boyfriend actually bought me a doll for my birthday this year... This is the first time anyone has bought me a doll and there are really no words. It's such a special feeling.

Initially, I was just talking about how there was a doll on the MP that was the same sculpt as a doll that I used to own and had to sell for financial reasons. Just babbling about how pretty she was, showed him a picture, and then was talking about how guilty I felt because my family was thinking of gifting her to me for my birthday. He kind of lamented that he couldn't afford a BJD for me and how much he wanted to buy me one someday which is super sweet considering my exes either mocked my hobby and made a point to damage my dolls, or merely tolerated them. From the beginning he did his own research and has shown an avid interest in them. I kind of laughed and felt all warm and fuzzy - told him that I'd never expect him to buy a doll for me and all that considering the prices.

Well, as it turns out, my family decided to go with a different gift for me than the doll. Honestly, I was relieved. Felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. My family, especially my mum, is kind of iffy about the hobby. They don't get it. So it would have been weird for them to buy me something so expensive that they just didn't really support.

When I told my boyfriend he immediately said, "How much is she? If I can afford it, then I'd like to buy her for you". I was so shocked. I told him that I wasn't comfortable with that but he persisted. When I finally told him the price, he kind of laughed. She's a Resinsoul and he thought all BJDs were, like, $300 plus. So he continued to brush off my complaints and doubts, saying that he needed to check his finances but he was 70% sure that he could buy her for me. We talked about it for a good long while, me making sure that he felt no obligations, would be 100% financially comfortable if he were to buy her, etc. I felt sick to my stomach but I felt so loved as well. Even if he couldn't afford her, the knowledge that he wanted to do something like that for me was so heartwarming. He's the first person aside from my sister to actively want to support my hobby.

Turns out that he had enough, way more than he thought he had and he told me to go ahead and buy her. Admittedly, there's still an uneasy feeling but his intended sentiments override that for the most part. He's always asking when she's shipped and when she'll arrive and all that. I think he's as excited to see her as much as I am. ^_^ Even wants me to open her via Skype so he can watch my reaction and such. (We're in a long distance relationship.)

I honestly don't feel that I owe him any debts as some people on here worry about. We both like to spend significant amounts of money on each other when we can. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as practical things such as bills are paid first and there's no sense of obligation involved.

 

My fiancé just bought me one. I've always had 27cm (off-topic) dolls, which I've been fine with but I have always wanted a Dollfie Dream. They are the reason I got into the doll hobby.

Well, Sunday night he came up to me while I was playing Mario on my Wii U and said "Guess what I just bought!"
"What?" I asked, pausing my game.
"THIS!!!!" He said showing me the online receipt.
I had to look at it for a moment and when I realized what it was he bought (Dollfie Dream Dynamite Miko) I started stuttering asking why?! And he said "because I love you and I know you want her, she'll be here Friday!"
I started to tear up and I hugged and kissed him so many times!!!

I honestly don't like the fact that he spent so much money on me, but I keep reminding myself that he chose to do it, I never asked, not even once.

I would never let him to it if he asked me but it was a total surprise!

Considering I feel really insanely guilty just having small things or food bought for me, I think I would try dissuading someone from buying me a doll, even if it was a doll I really really wanted.
If they got me one anyway, even if it was one I couldn't stand, I would still love and cherish it. I would do everything I could to 'spoil' and love it since it was bought for me and I cherish gifts.

 

Well I don't have a partner anymore, but if I did and he wanted to buy me a doll (thus proving he knows what they are and has at least a semi interest in my interests) I'd probably cry with hapiness then of course insist he shouldn't spend that much money on me, as I don't like being 'spoiled' by a partner. If he got me a doll as a surprise I'd probably adore it because it came from him, even if it wasn't my thing. I tend to be enarmoured by the time I'm in an actual relationship with someone anyway.

 

i wouldn't let my boyfriend buy me a doll to be honest. It just wouldn't sit right with me. I don't even like him buying small things for me let alone letting him buy me a doll. He did give me half of the money to buy this doll I really wanted when I went over his house one time but, I put the money back in his wallet when he was sleeping and though, it makes me feel all warm inside to know my man would do something so kind for me I just couldn't accept it.

 

My sweetheart bought me my first dolly I chose her and I adore her!

 

Early into our relationship, I refused to give any idea of what dolls I was interested in because my boyfriend was interested in buying me one and I felt bad about him considering spending so much on me. However, this past summer I was at Otakon with him and I found a gorgeous IMPLdoll Aimee that I fell in love with immediately. Someone else was interested in her as well, but presented the option that they'd buy her online if I really wanted her, but I only had until the end of that day. I felt weird about spending all of my money right then and there with an entire day and a half (or two days, I can't recall) of the con left and no idea of what situations would come up. My boyfriend ended up convincing me to let him pay half as an early birthday present, and it was the sweetest gesture he could have made! I normally tell him no about paying a lot for anything he gets me, but we both joke about the dolls being our kids and it helped show that he really does love even the quirky hobbies I have!

 

As a disclaimer, I've been with DemonessMakoto for 4 years now so we're a well-established couple.

If she bought me a doll, I would probably die of happiness.

I helped to buy her doll, Elda (it was a group gift, from all of her friends and myself to her).

 

I'm afraid that won't happen for me, my man is freaked out by the resin army!
However, if he did, I'd insist he not spend so much on me, but I've lost that argument a few times, so I'd jump on him and hug him :3
But it doesn't stop me buying my own no?
