If he asked whether there was anything I wanted within a ¥100,000 budget, would he lose interest if I requested something that costs ¥130,000?
I’m having a hard time finding anything I want that comes in under ¥100,000...
👤Asked byGuest👩GenderFemale🎂20s👑Universe female member
If my papa told me the budget was limited to ¥100,000, I’d choose something within that range. I wouldn’t ask for something costing ¥130,000 on my own.
But if there’s nothing I want within the budget, I’d go shopping together for everyday consumables like skincare and makeup, beauty products, or lingerie.
It’s also a good opportunity to let your papa know what kinds of things you like. Once you’ve gotten closer and he asks what you want, you can have him buy you something then.

You have a different ID, but are you the same person from earlier?
It’s because you’re trying to get them to pay a clean ¥100,000.
Look for something around ¥60,000–¥70,000. Isn’t there anything else?

If someone told me, “I’ll give you ¥100,000—buy whatever you like,” I’m sure I could think of all sorts of things.
But isn’t it simply that the thing you want right now costs ¥130,000?
If so, I think the best approach is to be honest and say, “It’s a little pricey at ¥130,000, but I really want this.”
A man who’s willing to give you a ¥100,000 gift probably wouldn’t make a big deal over an extra ¥30,000. Probably.

If what I really want is over the budget he mentioned, I’ll say, “This is what I really want, but it’s over your budget. Would it be okay if I paid the difference myself and asked for this instead?”
If you’re going to choose something, you might as well get what you really want, right? Rather than picking something mediocre that you won’t use, I’d choose the thing I truly want—even if I have to pay the difference myself.
I don’t think men necessarily appreciate that kind of approach, though…
That’s what I would do. Sorry I’m not cuter about it.

I don’t think his feelings will change, but if he’s a straightforward man, he’ll probably say, “That’s over budget, so try looking again for something within ¥100,000.”
I’m afraid I agree with Joe Rubicon, but if you search while thinking you’re looking for something that costs ¥50,000, you’ll probably come across options around ¥80,000.
So I think it may work best to ask yourself what you want for ¥50,000 and search from there.
Of course, your goal will probably be something around ¥90,000, but you don’t have to push too hard. If you were searching for something at ¥50,000 and found a ¥70,000 option, I think it would be fine to tell him about that one.
You could also ask, knowing it might be a long shot, “I ended up finding something that costs around ¥130,000, but I assume that would be difficult, right?”

Are you talking about the person from earlier…?
If you couldn’t answer at the time, I’d lose interest…
But normally, when someone asks, they don’t set an upper limit, and it’s more appreciated if you tell them what you actually want at that moment. So even in this case, I think you should say it.
If it’s something she genuinely wants and would be thrilled to receive, I think around ¥30,000 should be fine too.
And I think it’s important to have a relationship where you can feel comfortable saying that…

Whether he loses interest depends on the man’s personality, your usual relationship, and how you explain things and make the request. That’s how relationships work in general, isn’t it?
P.S. Personally, I can usually get a sense of what my partner might like, so I list a few gifts within a price range I’m comfortable with and let him choose one himself.

I don’t think they’ll lose interest, but at ¥97,000 including tax, your rating would probably go up.
Because you have ¥100,000 in mind, you end up choosing the ¥130,000 option. It’s not a bad choice, and I think it’s fine if you’re willing to put in more effort than usual.
Why not be bold and make the request as if your budget were ¥50,000? But don’t actually choose the ¥50,000 option.
