My papa is overseas on a business trip, so we can’t meet at all (it’s true—he even sends me photos of himself, including selfies).
This content is machine-translated.
We message on LINE every day, and I tell my papa every day that I miss him, but he never says that he misses me or that he likes me. He’s an executive in his 50s, and it doesn’t seem like he’s extremely busy with his overseas business trips. Does this mean he doesn’t really like me that much?
Should I reactivate my membership at the club, where I’m currently on a leave of absence, so I can find a new papa?

While most people who post questions here just insult their papas as old men or say that meeting them is basically compensation for putting up with them, you’re lucky.
I’m in my 50s too, and I’d be far too embarrassed to write things like “I like you!” “I love you!” or “I miss you!” on LINE like teenagers or people in their 20s. Those words stay in writing, after all.
It’s not just embarrassment—I don’t have the same passion I did when I was young either. I don’t know what your papa is like, but I think it’s pretty good that he replies to your messages every day.
If you’re lonely, though, it might be worth looking for a man who’ll tell you “I like you, I really love you,” even if he doesn’t entirely mean it.

It sounds like you’ve built a wonderful relationship!
Why not look for someone you can meet while your papa is away on overseas business trips?
That said, it’s probably not realistic for him to be traveling abroad that often these days. I wonder if he’s simply satisfied with chatting with you on LINE whenever he has free time, since you’re so kind and responsive.
He sounds like a papa you really want to keep, so continuing to value that relationship while looking for someone else might help ease your loneliness a little.
If he’s the type who doesn’t want you seeing anyone else, though, you may just have to find a way to get him to meet you.

If he says he can’t give you your allowance because you haven’t been able to meet, it’s probably best to look for someone else.
No matter how busy he is, if he really wants to see you, he’ll make time.

I’m the same way—some men really don’t like saying things like “I love you” or “I miss you” if they can avoid it.
You seem like the type who isn’t good at long-distance relationships, haha.
If you’re in touch every day, I think you’re loved plenty.
That said, if you need the money, I believe it’s necessary to have another papa (a male supporter) on the side, regardless of your feelings for him, as a way to reduce your risk.

“For us to fall for some old geezer more than twice our age? No way lol.”
As someone who’s constantly roasted by papa-katsu girls, this kind of romance-advice question that comes along every now and then really restores my soul.
If your papa replies every day, there’s definitely a chance he’s interested. He may be getting a little carried away after you told him you like him, but I don’t think he’s entirely displeased.
I instinctively reply right away to both work and personal messages, but generally speaking, an instant reply is a sign of affection, I’d say.
Good luck!

It’s disappointing that he doesn’t react when you tell him you’re lonely, but getting a reply every day is a positive sign. Looking at it optimistically, maybe he’s just not good at expressing affection but does like you. Looking at it pessimistically, perhaps he has no feelings and is simply a very conscientious person.
Regardless of what he’s like, if you’re not feeling fulfilled, it may be better to explore other options. Having options doesn’t mean you have to choose one—it simply gives you more freedom. If you’re unsure, I think it’s best to move in a direction that expands your options.
