I have a question about the relationship types.

After joining a dating club, I realized my mindset had become completely skewed. But back when I dated normally, the relationships that lasted the longest were with girls who took more time before becoming intimate. That said, at dating clubs, most men are looking for a relationship that includes intimacy, and they generally want the woman to decide as soon as possible. On the women’s side, I was relatively young and didn’t skimp on the allowance, so intimacy was easy to arrange—and since that was expected, the allowance was higher and I was rarely turned down. Still, none of those relationships lasted very long, and I felt like my own feelings were fading too. Maybe it just wasn’t what I was looking for. As for your question, you’ll get fewer offers, but there are people with a mindset like mine. So if you want to be honest with your feelings, I think B1 is fine. The differences within category B are just as the other respondents explained. For someone like you, it seems difficult to date multiple papas at the same time, so even if the odds are low, I think it’s better to choose B1 and hope to meet someone whose expectations align with yours. Good luck.

I’m Shiro Usagi, a new answerer. It’s a little too distrustful to say you can’t trust someone unless you’ve met them five times. Since you’re not going to be scammed or have your money taken, try to learn to make a decision after two or three meetings. Your partner won’t wait around for five meetings—they’ll move on to someone else. In this case, “B1” should be fine. “B2” means that after having dinner once, you should go into your next date assuming an adult relationship (intimate). Good luck!

For “at least three times,” I think B3 would be best, while B5 would suit “preferably five times.” By the way, A4 is the most commonly used, and B5 used to be standard in Japan.

For a B1 arrangement, I make an offer assuming she’s the type who wants to meet at least three times—ideally around five—then decide through meals and conversation whether the man seems trustworthy before moving into an adult relationship (intimate). Whether things progress to an adult relationship on the fifth date, the second, or the first depends on the situation, so I can’t know in advance. But I make the offer expecting that, even after things become intimate, we’ll probably go on dinner dates more often than not. So once things have progressed to an adult relationship, it might be better to switch to B2 if you want that every time. I think there are two ways women choose B1: either because of the number of meetings they want before becoming intimate, or because they don’t want an adult relationship every time. Even with B1, those are two different preferences. Also, regarding whether B1 or B2 receives more offers—I’ve heard that choosing B2 doesn’t actually increase the number of offers—so I don’t think there’s much difference in terms of which is better.
