If you live in Tokyo, you may run into people who recognize you from previous papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) arrangements or dating apps.
Today, I made eye contact at the station with someone I had actually met before, but I ignored him and pretended not to know him. (We had only spoken once.)
Still, it made me feel really scared and reminded me that there are definitely risks involved.
Don’t you all find it scary?

I wouldn’t say it’s absolutely impossible, but I think the chances are low.
How often have people had experiences like being on a date with their boyfriend and unexpectedly running into someone from work, or being seen by a college friend?
There are so many people in big cities, and most people aren’t paying close enough attention to everyone’s face.
If you’re worried, you could do your papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) somewhere far from areas where you might run into people you know.

In my humble view of life, I can’t consider this a serious question. At the very least, in my personal opinion, asking it here means you’ve chosen the wrong place, so it’s hard to call it serious.

It’s way scarier when the asker remembers the face of someone they only talked to once. Just forget me already.

Women often seem to recognize a man at a glance, but unfortunately, most men aren’t able to do the same right away.
I may have mentioned this before, but I’ve heard of women who had met a man through another dating club and later had a match arranged with him through Universe.
Apparently, the man didn’t realize who she was.
If they meet again soon afterward, I think many men would notice. But after some time has passed—especially if she’s changed her hairstyle—most men probably wouldn’t recognize her anymore.
That said, just like women, there are probably some men who can identify someone immediately, though I think they’re in the minority.
With that in mind, I don’t think there’s much to worry about. And in dating clubs, even if a man does realize it, most probably won’t say anything.
I think having so many genuinely mature adults is one of the advantages of dating clubs.

Until now, it may have been hard to tell because everyone was wearing masks, but these days, some people aren’t wearing them anymore.
I’m not scared or anything, but for some reason, all the younger people look alike to me, so I can’t really tell them apart, haha.
If you’re concerned about that, I recommend continuing to wear a mask, haha.

I live pretty close to the city center, but nothing like that has happened to me yet.
It might be a little scary if it did happen, but unless it was someone I had a particularly unpleasant experience with, I don’t think I’d really mind.

I don’t think there’s any point in asking for everyone’s agreement.
If you feel scared, you can simply stop doing this kind of thing.
There’s no reason to drag other people into it.

I don’t understand why that would be scary. I don’t see any problem with simply running into a woman unexpectedly.
