I often hear about “germaphobic men” lately, so when I think of Valentine’s chocolate, I imagine giving store-bought gifts.
I once had an incident where I found a strand of hair in some chocolate, so honestly, homemade chocolate is traumatic for me...
Besides, most single women’s apartments are usually pretty messy anyway—though men’s places can be too.
Is there any way to hint at this?
I can’t say it too bluntly, but what I want to tell my PJ is that homemade chocolate really isn’t necessary at all.

If it’s the kind of relationship where homemade treats are appreciated, she’ll give him homemade chocolates. If he’d prefer expensive department-store chocolates, she’ll choose those instead. Most papa-katsu women decide whether to give something based on who they’re seeing.
Besides, if someone as self-conscious as you normally are said, “I don’t need homemade chocolates for Valentine’s Day,” she’d probably be thinking, “This creepy old guy has been obsessing over Valentine’s Day for days! I was never planning to give him anything in the first place!” while cursing you under her breath…

It sounds like you don’t really like the other person that much.
If you liked them more, I think you’d be happy to receive homemade chocolates.
Regardless of whether they’re handmade, what matters is how the other person feels. I think it’s perfectly fine if that feeling happens to be expressed through homemade chocolates.
If you can’t eat homemade chocolates, it seems to me that you’re lacking affection for the other person.

This is my third year of telling everyone at work, “Don’t bother giving me Valentine’s chocolate—I absolutely won’t give anything back on White Day.” No one gives me chocolate anymore. It’s wonderfully hassle-free.

The chocolate you receive sounds like it might be poisoned.
Did she say she was going to give you homemade chocolate? If not, you may be getting a little too caught up in your own importance.
Did she even say she’d give you chocolate? If you don’t like homemade chocolate and would prefer something store-bought, just tell her you like the reasonably priced kind sold at supermarkets. She’ll probably buy that for you.
I hope you get your chocolate—but the return gift might end up costing you quite a bit.

If someone told me, “Don’t make anything homemade,” I’d be so mortified I’d want to die…!!!

The relationship between Aya and her papa (a male supporter) is completely different from the relationship between you and your papa-katsu partner. Your personalities are different too.

I’m Taro, a male member.
“If you like her, eat it.” It’s that simple.
I once accepted something with a pubic hair mixed in and ate it. No doubt about it—the curl was definitely pubic hair. I’ll never forget the way it stuck out all by itself, like Namihei from *Sazae-san*. But I ate it. I left the hair behind and dealt with it like a tiny fish bone.
There have been times I didn’t eat something because of the calories. Once, I was given a whole box of some famous Western-style sweets. I said, “I’ll eat them later,” took a photo, messaged her, “They’re delicious!”—and threw them away. Emotionally, I consider that finishing the whole box. I tricked myself so I could have things my way.
That relationship is over now, so I can write about it. If we were still seeing each other, I couldn’t. Even though I’m sure she’d never find out, it’s a matter of personal integrity.
