I have a first meeting on Valentine’s Day. I bought a four-piece box of chocolates costing around 1,500 yen, but I’m unsure whether I should give it to him. I don’t know anything about his preferences or whether he’s married. I’m also worried it might make me seem too calculated or come across as too much. On the other hand, I wonder whether giving him chocolate might leave a good impression and make him happy. Do you think giving chocolate at a first meeting would make a good impression, or a bad one?

Aww, that’s so sweet and endearing—she sounds adorably inexperienced. I really like her personality.
If it looks like he won’t be able to take it home, you could suggest, “Let’s eat it together.” I think that would come across well—not as too much. He’d probably be happy. I’m jealous of that papa.
If it were me, I’d smile and eat it together with him, saying, “You don’t have to go to all that trouble. You don’t need to bring anything next time.”

Whenever I go on a first date with someone who’s made me an offer, I always bring a small gift.
Wait, do you not bring anything?
Since it’s this time of year, chocolates would be perfect. Something under 1,000 yen is fine.

I think it would be fine if it’s on Valentine’s Day itself.
If it were me, I’d give him something like two truffles—just enough to fit in his pocket or finish right there, ideally the two of you together.
A ¥1,500 box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day won’t come across as trying too hard, so don’t worry. A man would probably be happy to receive that from a teenage girl…

I think it would make a good impression.
If it were me, I’d simply be happy about it.
Some women give a small gift of sweets on the first date regardless of Valentine’s Day, and personally, I see that as a big plus.

I think Valentine’s Day itself would be a good time.
If I had a first meeting arranged that day, I’d bring some chocolate too, even if I wasn’t sure whether we’d end up dating!
A small box of chocolates costing around ¥1,500 wouldn’t be much of a burden to carry, right?
I’d love to have a first meeting on Valentine’s Day too!
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!!

Getting chocolate is a good sign.
But honestly, I’m scared to take something a woman gave me straight home. What if there’s a letter or message card inside the wrapping that I somehow fail to notice, I bring it home, and my wife opens it—BAM!—and everything comes out? That possibility terrifies me.
So I’m considering these three options:
1. Leave it at the office for the time being.
2. Tear open the wrapping on the way home, check that there’s nothing inside, then take it home for my wife and kids to snack on.
3. Tear open the wrapping while walking down the street, then devour the chocolate as I walk through the darkness.

I think many men are not very good at showing their emotions, so even if they’re genuinely happy, they may just accept it without much reaction.
So there’s no need to assume he isn’t pleased. If he doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, he might be a little困惑, but I still think he’ll appreciate the thought.
Also, very few men would find something worth around ¥1,500 too much. You won’t come across as trying too hard, either.
That’s because ¥1,000 or so is still within the typical price range for obligatory chocolates. Even if they’re just “obligation chocolates,” it’s still nice to receive them when there’s genuine thought behind them.
I think that strikes a good balance.
However, I wouldn’t expect it to necessarily improve his impression of you. The reason is that it’s your first meeting.
It would be different if you had already met several times, but since this is the first time, it’s probably best to assume he’ll simply think, “She prepared this because she’s kind,” rather than taking it as something specifically meant for him.
