When a papa (a male supporter) says, “I’ll buy you a birthday present,” should I initially be modest and say, “Oh, no, it’s okay! I’m happy just being with you!”
This content is machine-translated.
Or should I show my excitement right away and say, “Yay! I’m so happy! Thank you! I’d love to have ○○!”?
Which response do papas prefer?

Since you’re still young, I think the gentleman would be happy if you simply showed how genuinely pleased you are.
Don’t ask for anything overly expensive—mention something modest and cute instead. If you name a high-priced item and he stops contacting you afterward, all the effort you’ve put in so far will have been for nothing.

I’ve been told both by past partners and by the girl I’m closest to now, and I took both comments positively.
With the former, I thought, “She’s so sweet and adorable to say something like that.” With the latter, I was happy because it felt like we’d become comfortable enough with each other not to hold back.
In the end, I buy them both presents anyway, so the result is the same.
If it isn’t the girl I’m closest to, I think the former approach is safer. But if we’re not that close to begin with, I don’t even bring up presents. I’ll say congratulations, though.

It depends on the person and the relationship, but personally, I’d probably think:
“Of course! I’m just happy to be with you!” — I’d wonder if anyone could really be that conveniently agreeable.
“Oh, really? I’m so happy! Thank you! I’d love ○○!” — If ○○ was far below the budget I had in mind, I’d again wonder if anyone could really be that conveniently agreeable. If it was far above what I expected to spend, I’d end things. If it felt just right, I’d feel that they had a good sense of personal boundaries.
So I think a simple “Oh, really? I’m so happy! Thank you!” is the safest response.

It depends on how close you are. I’m not talking about an adult relationship.
If the relationship is still fairly casual—say, meeting once to four times a month—I’d choose the former. If I chose the latter, I’d say, “Oh, really? That’s so nice of you—thank you!” without the ◯◯.
For a truly close, special relationship—the number of meetings and how long you’ve known each other actually don’t matter—I’d choose the latter.
And if it’s a papa (a male supporter) I wouldn’t mind losing, I can say whatever I want. With a papa I definitely don’t want to lose, it depends on the girl’s personality; some would choose the former and others the latter.
But starting out being modest and then gradually changing your attitude isn’t acceptable, so it’s best to avoid that. I’m sorry, but I really dislike that kind of thinking. It’s a complete no for me.
