What’s the difference between a regular date and an escort date?

If you’re asking about the difference between a “regular, typical date” and an “escort date” at Universe Club, I believe an escort date is one where, after being matched, you use a car from the very beginning. A “regular, typical (arranged) date,” on the other hand, starts with tea or a meal at a restaurant or café. I think this page should give you a better idea: https://universe-club.jp/event/55749/

An escort date in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is when you make a woman think, “With him, I might even be willing to have an adult relationship (intimate) without an allowance♡,” and then smoothly give her the allowance before things turn intimate. By contrast, a typical papa-katsu date is when you leave her thinking: “Only 50,000 yen again today…? But my credit card bills are piling up, so I guess an adult relationship is unavoidable… I wonder if there’s a better papa (a male supporter) out there.”
