The papa I asked about here was unanimously described as “a man you should stop seeing immediately,” and I want to end things… But three days ago, he bought me a coat as an apology when we met.

This is Ayase Nana☆ You’re going back to square one because you didn’t tell us everything when you first asked the question. Don’t ask questions so carelessly. He already bought you a coat, right? What are you going to do? You have to meet him—he even knows where you live. What are you going to do? You need proof that you told him you couldn’t go. Send him a LINE message right away, and absolutely do not delete it. This is why you shouldn’t let someone buy you presents. I guess you’ll have no choice but to become his slave for a while. Good luck.

Somehow, I feel like it could work out if you handle things well. Even if they schedule you, you can’t go if you’re unavailable. You could leave a written record on LINE or somewhere, saying that you told them you couldn’t make it that day. They don’t seem like a particularly bad person, but they do seem a little unable to read the room. Marika

I’m Aya, a female member. It probably wasn’t a good idea to let him buy you a coat… Since you’re so easily pressured, it’s hard to know what advice to give. First and foremost, you need to stand your ground. From here on, how about turning him down once by saying you’re not feeling well, then telling him that you still haven’t recovered and it’s affecting your work or studies? Whenever you meet him, it takes a toll on you emotionally, so saying you’re unwell wouldn’t exactly be a lie. You need to make it clear—using both kindness and firmness—that you’re grateful for everything so far, but you’ve reached your limit because you’ve been pressured into doing things you don’t want to do. Otherwise, he’ll only get more deluded about the situation.
