About a man who recently made me an offer.

This content is machine-translated.
With the men I had met before, we would discuss future plans at the end of dinner, and if our terms matched, we would continue seeing each other afterward. However, the man I met recently did not bring up any such discussion by the end of dinner, and then invited me to continue afterward. Since he seemed like a nice person, I decided to go along with it without saying anything, treating it as a learning experience. He seemed to really enjoy himself and said he would like to see me again, and I also had a lovely time. When we parted, he gave me an allowance, but it was the lowest amount I had ever received, and I felt disappointed in my own worth. I held those feelings back, thanked him, and we went our separate ways. I feel bad saying this about him, but honestly, if that was the allowance, I would have preferred to end things after dinner only (no intimacy). I realize that I was also at fault for not clearly discussing the allowance with him beforehand, but I wasn't sure when I should bring it up myself and ended up feeling stuck. If the man doesn't bring up these matters himself, at what point should the woman discuss them with him? I'd appreciate some advice.

Maezawa here. > If the man doesn’t bring up these matters, when should the woman tell him? Please make sure to tell him when he invites you to meet again. For example, if you don’t discuss anything, you may end up receiving nothing. Some men may play dumb afterward and say, “After dinner, it’s just free love—wasn’t this supposed to be a romantic relationship?” That’s why, when he invites you out, you should clearly discuss what kind of relationship this will be. If you find it difficult to state what you want directly, try asking him, “What kind of relationship are you looking for?” That should help you understand what kind of arrangement he wants. If he doesn’t give you any specifics, I recommend continuing the conversation until he does. And if what he wants is far from what you’re looking for, it may be better to skip negotiating and simply part ways after dinner. If you’re comfortable enough to negotiate, you’re probably also someone who could state your own preferences from the beginning. In that case, you likely would have had a more enjoyable time just having dinner together. I recommend thinking carefully about whether you’re truly comfortable with the terms before entering into the relationship.
