Should I bring a small gift when meeting my papa (a male supporter) for the first time in two years?

This content is machine-translated.
I met a man through Universe two years ago, but I ended up fading out on him without explanation because of my own circumstances. I’ve always felt truly sorry about that. I reached out to him on the off chance he’d respond, and he gave me a very positive reply: “I’ve been wondering how you’re doing all this time! If you’re okay with it, I’d love to see you again.” So we’ve decided to meet again. Would it be appropriate to give him something like a small box of sweets, as a token of my gratitude for meeting me again despite my suddenly fading out? Since he’s married, I was thinking of choosing something very simple, like traditional Japanese sweets—something that wouldn’t seem strange if he said he received it as a souvenir. Although he is married, he doesn’t seem particularly careful about keeping his activities from his wife. (He would casually go drinking in Ginza and didn’t seem concerned about the scent of perfume, either.) Or would it be better to meet him empty-handed? I’m sorry for posting this question twice. I would appreciate it if you could delete the question below. Thank you in advance.

You’re still in your twenties and young, so I don’t think it’s necessary. If you were a woman in her forties, though, I’d suggest quietly giving your papa (a male supporter) a small, understated gift of his favorite treat.

If it were me, you wouldn’t need to bring anything. I’d be happiest if you returned the favor with intimacy. “I felt bad, so you can do whatever you want.” I think that would work best.

I’m the type who’s happy to receive anything, but honestly, a smile and genuine thought mean more to me than gifts, haha.

I think the best thing is to smile and let him know how happy you are to see him again. When I met a man after a long time apart, I spotted him at the meeting place and ran over to him with a smile. He was absolutely delighted. If you can convey how you feel, that’s the best thing—and I think it will make your time together even more enjoyable. Akari

Whether you need to bring a gift is really up to you, but if you ask whether it’s necessary, the answer is no. If you remember that your papa (a male supporter) absolutely loves the mizu-yokan from a particular Japanese sweets shop, for example, bringing some might make him think, “You remembered that?” Otherwise, he’ll probably just say, “Oh, thanks,” without giving it much thought. Be aware that some people may actually find gifts a burden. Marika

If you’re asking whether it’s “a yes or a no,” I’d say either is fine. It’s simply a gesture from the person giving it, and I don’t think anyone would be unhappy to receive something. As you mentioned, consumable items would probably be best. That said, since this is your first meeting in two years, it’s unclear what kind of relationship you’re both looking for. I’d recommend not getting your hopes up too much.

A passionate kiss is a thousand times more effective than a small gift. When you kiss him for the first time in two years, say: “Sorry for being such a selfish girl. I reached out because I genuinely wanted to see you♡” Then kiss him passionately, and that papa (a male supporter) will fall for you in seconds. After that, just pretend to have an intimate climax, and he’ll be completely yours♪ Men are simple, so handle him skillfully.

I’d rather you come empty-handed. Stories from your travels are more interesting, so it’s a good idea to have a few ready.

I don’t think it’s necessary. If he regularly goes out drinking in Ginza, he’s probably used to receiving gifts and may not be especially impressed by one. Instead of a standard hostess gift, why not think of a way to show how you feel? P.S. As I was writing this answer, I realized that my preference for not receiving gifts may stem from the fact that I often received them at clubs. That usually happened when I wasn’t yet particularly close with the hostess handling my account. Of course, it would be different if it were a snack we’d talked about before or something he seemed like he’d enjoy.
