What do you think of a girlfriend who doesn’t say what she’s really thinking and isn’t very open?

You’re simply not someone I can be honest with. That’s all. Akari

Thank you for your question. If things go well, you might find that papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) really suits you! (^ ^) Being too straightforward can sometimes come across as hurtful, so if you refrain from pointing out the little things your partner does that make you want to tease them—and keep those thoughts to yourself—you may end up showing them respect without even realizing it.

I believe in answering honestly here, but when I actually meet someone in person, I’m not necessarily that straightforward. Do you really want people to tell you exactly what they think?

When it comes to the other person, I think there are two possibilities: either that’s simply their personality, or they act that way because of their relationship with you. In the latter case, they may not trust you, or she may have drawn a boundary in her mind that this is simply how things work when meeting through a dating club. If you want to continue and build a good relationship, all you can do is patiently work through those possibilities one by one. The truth is, no matter how much you analyze things, you’ll never really know whether it’s the former or the latter. In the end, it’s still just your own judgment, and all you can do is bet on the possibility that it’s the latter. Basically, it comes down to whether you’re willing to take that chance. There was a period when I kept wondering about it, feeling unfulfilled, yet thinking we might be getting closer. Then she suddenly had breast augmentation, and one mystery led to another until I had no idea what was going on anymore. But once it’s all over, it makes for a good memory（笑） Taro
