I thought I’d seen Dateyume-san’s icon somewhere before, but was it the silver mark? I don’t think you need to put yourself down that much, though....

If the relationship is going well despite having a silver mark, wouldn’t that actually be putting yourself down? If anything, it sounds like you’re bragging. Marika

I’m happy to see Date◎Yume-san coming up in so many questions lately ♡ Date◎Yume-san really is the king of papas♪ I hope all the PJ girls find one papa like Date◎Yume-san and enjoy papa-katsu without overdoing it. A papa like me, who has more than ten monthly arrangements, is an absolute no-go.

Putting yourself down and behaving modestly are two completely different things. But seriously, why are you being so condescending, questioner? Akari

I gave the choice of this icon some thought. As Mac-san said, I’m still in my sixties, but when I wonder how long I’ll be able to stay active, I imagine it’ll probably be until around seventy. When I look at men who are already in their seventies, I still think that, if I were a woman, I’d feel they were a bit too old for me, no matter what. So I adopted the silver mark as a goal—something to remind me that I’d like to make it that far. Also, no one else was using this mark, and it serves as a reminder to myself: “I’m not that young anymore, so don’t pretend to be!” I don’t mean to put myself down, but I do want to proceed carefully and avoid standing out too much. If it came across too strongly, then—no offense intended, sorry! (lol) > There are people who put themselves down to an almost extreme degree. How should you interact with someone like that? In those situations, I also interact with them a little humbly. I think that, with anything, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
