Do you accept expensive gifts from the suitors you don't like?

If I were given an expensive gift from a suitor, I would probably not accept it. I haven't encountered this case yet but I would do this. I'd tell him that I feel guilty if I would receive it knowing that he has no chance of winning my heart. But I will explain to him the best way I can so that he would understand my reason. If he'd still insisted, maybe I would. LOL

if its a gift then why not since it doesnt mean that if i accept it means that i will going to say yes to him already. though i give every one a chance like to know them better if they really deserve it though at first i will tell them of not to expect too much as maybe theres still someone along the way that really my type. though at first if i really dont like the person i just simply say no and theres no way that my mind will change even if he give me any gift.

It's good that you're giving everyone a chance to court you and get to know you. As for me, I don't really give them a slim chance.I'd dump them right away if I don't like them.I don't want to give them false hopes.LOL.I'm too harsh. Oh well,that's me.

Once, a "suitor" asked me what I wanted as a birthday gift. He kept on insisting he gives me something. (I have a boyfriend) I just said I want nothing and greeting me on my birthday would be enough. He treated me to dinner once though, he just wouldn't accept the money I was paying him.

Maybe I was just too one-sided. I did not realize that though. Maybe that they really just want to see the girls they are courting happy. thanks for that jamyca.

Maybe I would accept, but maybe I won't. If I hate him, I'll accept it. If I just don't like it, then I won't accept it.

It is definitely best to not accept gifts from someone you aren't interested in if you sense romantic intentions - I learned that the hard way. It may be awkward to refuse them but in the end it can really keep a situation from escalating to a very uncomfortable point. I accepted little, seemingly harmless, gifts and cards from someone in the past because I thought it would be more awkward to refuse them but I was wrong. All it did was give the other person some kind of false hope and it turned into a big mess when it all could have ended with a simple 'no thank you, I can't accept that'.

A gift is a a gift, given to be appreciated, no matter how expensive it is or how least its price is... the intention is to give and be appreciated without expecting anything in return, although sometimes there is always a mistaken associated twist of intent, lol!... but anyways if you don't feel right about accepting one then don't.
