Do you accept gifts from your suitors that you don't like?

If the gift is for an occasion then it's okay. However, the girl should already tell him very soon of his chances. I think it'd be unfair for the guy to spend his hard earned money to buy gifts for a girl whom he thinks he has a chance with.

gosh this was eons ago..... I did just because I think it's rude to decline a gift, supposing they're not the expensive ones. But I told them that that would be the last gift I'll accept from them. Now if we're talking expensive stuff like jewelry, that's a different issue. Luckily, no one's ever tried to give me jewelry early on so I did not have to make this decision. Re your friend, if she's told the guy that there's nothing to expect and still insists on giving her gifts, well what can you do? But if she's deliberately leaving out that fact, I think that's wrong and she might get caught in a situation she can not get out of.

she is lucky that she had a friend like you. i thing you should thoroughly advise her again for the last time. if she doesn't listen then is up to her. here is my own opinion when it comes to accepting and declining a gift. is the gift is perishable? if so, it should be accepted. like if he bring food or flowers. it seems like a waste if these should be thrown in the trash. its already paid for with hard earn money. is the gift expensive? now this should not be accepted if its from an unwanted suitor. my advise is that the girl should be upfront with the guy early on the courting stage. tell the guy/s honestly and tactfully that he is not your type or there is no connection between the two of you. being honest early will avoid alot of complication. so that the poor guy will no longer spend so much time and money on someone who will not respond to his affection.

If it's a birthday or christmas gift I don't see anything wrong in accepting it. But a gift without occassion, its just like he was given hope for his proposal. If she does'nt like the guy she must tell him frankly so the boy won't waste his time and can find someone who could love him in return.

I don't think its right to accept gifts from someone you don't like, I think you should thank them, and politely return their gift to them, and let them know that you have no romantic intentions towards them. You have to make yourself really clear and be sure they understand you. It's not right to give them false hope by accepting a gift.
