He takes me to French or Italian restaurants every time. When he asks what I’d like to eat, I say Japanese food, but then on the day he says things like, “There weren’t any good places,” or “I couldn’t get a reservation,” and takes me to an Italian restaurant instead. I’m getting tired of it. I wouldn’t mind if they were high-end restaurants, but they’re just casual places—the kind where lunch costs around ¥3,000.

They’re tasty, sure... The other day, we went to a French restaurant and I said, “This is delicious,” and he replied, “So you like French food!” No, not particularly. I only said it was delicious because it was—it’s just not what I wanted to eat. Why won’t he let me eat the things I actually like?

I get the feeling it’s either because Japanese restaurants tend to be a little more expensive, or because he doesn’t know many Japanese restaurants. So I think you can tell by suggesting a specific restaurant and seeing whether he agrees to go there or not.

Is ¥3,000 cheap for lunch? I mean, dinner at that restaurant would probably cost around ¥10,000… It’s strange for a papa (a male supporter) to ask what a woman likes but then not let her eat what she wants. That said, the questioner’s sense of money is also pretty off, so they’re both as bad as each other. I really don’t understand the mindset of complaining after having someone treat you.

Japanese cuisine covers such a broad range, after all. I care about the atmosphere too, but the food has to be good, right? For example, would you consider a yakitori place or an oden restaurant Japanese cuisine? So when making an offer, I usually give a few examples and ask.

“Japanese food” can mean anything from sushi and kaiseki to tempura and teppanyaki, so I think it’s probably hard for him to choose a restaurant. Why not tell him specifically what you feel like eating, such as, “I want tempura”? For the past few months, I’ve also started making specific requests to the papa I see most often, like, “I’m not very hungry today, so a salad is enough,” or, “I want to go to that restaurant.” He told me, “It’s better when you tell me clearly what you want.” Hints and nuances don’t really get the message across, I guess.

I think it’s because his budget is around 3,000 yen and he himself isn’t particularly fond of Japanese food. If you keep saying that you’d prefer Japanese food, he may eventually take you somewhere. Alternatively, why not find a Japanese restaurant within that price range and suggest going there?
