When I search online, I see the Silver Bell Plaza and the Yaesu Central Gate come up. Which would be better—the Silver Bell or the Yaesu Central Gate? If there’s another spot that’s more suitable for meeting up, I’d appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you in advance.

If you want to keep seeing her, at least make the first meeting in a hotel lobby.
This isn’t some dating app.
Otherwise, she’ll see you as a cheap guy.

It’s probably best to avoid meeting in places with a lot of foot traffic.

I’m not sure it’s the ideal place, but quite a few people do meet in hotel lobbies.
Early on, when I was meeting people in hotel lobbies, another woman even came up to me and asked, “Are you ○○?” lol
It’s probably best to avoid places that are too crowded, since it can be hard to spot each other.
Even if you choose the Gin no Suzu clock or the Yaesu Central Exit, I think it’s better to pick a nearby spot that’s a little less crowded.

I feel a little uncomfortable meeting my papa-katsu partner in a place like that.
It draws attention, and we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend...
I’m not saying we need to sneak around. I’m just asking you to be a little considerate of how a woman feels meeting up with a man several decades older than her.

I actually think Yaesu Book Center is a pretty good option.
The fourth and fifth floors are dedicated to literature and philosophy, so they’re relatively quiet and seem ideal for meeting up. If I had to choose between the two, I’d probably go with the fourth floor since it also has a women’s restroom.
It could be fun to say, “Let’s meet in front of the Kierkegaard books,” and then feel a little suspicious of a woman who doesn’t ask, “What do you mean?” and simply agrees without hesitation. In this day and age, meeting in front of the religion section is pretty thrilling too—especially for the woman, haha. Then, if she makes it through that and you meet her while putting your casual, approachable personality front and center, the “scary bridge” effect might kick in and things could go surprisingly well.
If the person asking the question is elderly, meeting at the “Welfare and Nursing Care” section on the seventh floor could work as a dark joke. It’s a bold thing to say, but anyone who takes it well might be able to communicate surprisingly deeply and close the distance from the very first meeting.
Definitely give it a try! I wouldn’t do it myself, though, lol.

Meeting up at Tokyo Station would be difficult, I think.
I often go shopping there, but even then I sometimes get lost or can’t find the place we were supposed to meet…
There are plenty of hotels, restaurants, and other places nearby, so I think it would be safer to meet at one of those.

Haha, were you aiming for that?
Have you managed to pull it off a few times before?
You were so close this time, though(笑)
Let’s think of a different approach next time(笑)

I’d avoid places that crowded and go with a hotel lobby or meet directly at the restaurant instead. I think women would feel more at ease that way.
With a smartphone and a GPS map app, you can usually find your way there without much trouble.

If we give that information here, there’s a concern that men may show up and steal someone else’s meeting spot.
Apparently, some men go to popular meeting places, approach women who are waiting there without permission, and take them on a date.
So instead, ask the staff—they can tell you the usual meeting spots. Give it a try.
If you’re unsure, you could also reserve a restaurant and arrange to meet inside.
