Do most men use their full names on LINE? My first date is coming up, but I only use my first name in hiragana, so I’m worried he might ask for my full name when we exchange contacts.
This content is machine-translated.
Is there a good way to avoid answering if he asks? I’d be willing to tell him if he seems trustworthy, though...

There are always a few people who want to know your real name, so it might be difficult to dodge the question convincingly…
If you’re really comfortable lying, give them your mother’s maiden name. Even if they find out, you could say, “My parents were divorced back then, but they got back together recently.”

I don’t use my full name on LINE.
Most women use either their first name in hiragana or the Roman alphabet on LINE.
Since you can usually figure out their real first name from that, I often don’t ask for their last name. Some women will tell you themselves once you’ve gotten closer, while others never do.
You could casually say, “Is that your real name on LINE?” and see how she reacts.
If she asks for your last name, try saying, “I’m a little uncomfortable sharing my last name, so please just call me by my first name,” and see how she responds.

Most of them seemed to use nicknames.
Only one person used their full name.
You say someone “seems trustworthy”—but what makes you think they’re trustworthy? Do you know what stalkers are capable of? I was prepared to die back then.
You don’t need to give out your real name. Create a full name specifically for Universe Club.
Even though you’re not dating with marriage in mind, several people insisted that I tell them my real full name.
Were they planning to hire me as a president’s secretary?

When asked, you can simply say, “Maybe once we get to know each other better.”
You could also say, “I had a bad experience in the past,” which should usually be enough to make him back off.
But if he keeps pressing, he’ll probably disregard your boundaries in other ways too, so you may want to reconsider seeing him at all.

You’ve only just met, so I think it’s fine to wait until you’ve gotten to know each other a little better.
Also, the ones who seem the most trustworthy can actually be the most dangerous...
Take your time and be very careful when deciding who to trust!

I’ve never asked them myself.
I think it’s best to let the woman bring it up when she wants to. That goes for first names, too.
Maybe because I use my real name, women often tell me on the first day. Sometimes they share their full name, and sometimes just their first name.

Those who want to know will ask, and those who don’t won’t.
I’m the type who doesn’t ask. I figure she’ll tell me when she feels comfortable enough to.
By the way, my LINE name isn’t my full name.
To sidestep the question, how about saying, “Maybe once we get to know each other better”?

If I know her first name written in hiragana, I don’t ask for anything more.
Besides, even if she tells me that, it’s not like I’d ever call her by name somewhere else…
With sex workers, I wouldn’t think anything of them using a stage name. But I’ve never seen women as just bodies—I value and respect them—so I’m simply disappointed when someone says she can’t even tell me her first name in hiragana.
I’ve never directly asked a woman for her full name, either.
That said, I think you should only avoid answering when you don’t intend to develop a deeper relationship with that man.
