Since last April, every date has been a letter date.
I can’t say I have zero interest in saving money, but the total cost of setting up dates hasn’t changed that much compared with the previous year.
Incidentally, out of more than ten letter dates, the only one that didn’t lead to meeting was when I was stood up at the last minute.
Since it’s not as though I’m unable to meet anyone, I think I’d be fine continuing with letter dates as long as this system remains available.
It’s also easier to ask about food preferences, and I’m happy to discuss rescheduling, so I don’t think it’s all bad for women.
Some women have even asked what kind of outfit I’d like them to wear on the date.
If you don’t like it, feel free to say no to letter dates. It simply means you won’t receive offers from men like me.
I’m not an especially wealthy papa (a male supporter), but I don’t think I’m being excessively stingy with the dates I arrange for women.
For meals, I usually book a hotel—typically a JR-affiliated, airline-affiliated, or Mitsui-affiliated hotel—where the bill is around ¥10,000 for two. The allowance for an adult relationship (intimate) is always ¥50,000 on a pay-per-meeting basis.
