I’m planning to start using Universe soon, and I’ve been learning a lot from this Q&A.
This content is machine-translated.
I haven’t met anyone yet, but after making an offer and going on the first date, do most people usually use LINE to arrange their second and subsequent dates?
My LINE account uses my real name, and my profile picture is a family photo. Would that make women feel uncomfortable or put them off?
Until we get to know each other better, would it be okay to communicate via SMS instead, even though it costs the other person money?
Sorry if these are basic questions. I’d really appreciate hearing how others handle this.

Family photo
So by using your real name, do you mean that your family also has that LINE ID saved?
If you suddenly change it, a perceptive wife might notice and realize something is up.
That said, I personally think LINE is best for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
It would probably be difficult to stay in touch by SMS unless the woman you’re seeing is very conscientious and good about replying. Younger women don’t really use SMS much these days...
So my recommendation would be to carry two smartphones and get a cheap SIM to create a phone exclusively for your papa (a male supporter) arrangements. Then you could use a separate LINE account just for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). How does that sound?

This is just my personal opinion.
I think it would be fine to keep the same name and only change the profile photo. LINE is by far my main way of communicating too, though SMS should probably work as well.

On LINE, some women use their full name, while others use just their first name. Some use romanized names, a single initial, or even just symbols or emojis…
I think it’s pretty obvious at a glance who seems trustworthy.
I use my full name as well, and communicate that way without any issues.
Generally, many people use something that reveals their real name, such as their initials. So if you use your real name and make your identity clear, many women will probably tell you their real names too, even without you asking.
That makes it easier to naturally move into a relationship.
If you want to date several women or make lots of offers, it might be a good idea to change your name or get a second phone.

In my experience, only a small number of women who receive offers ask to communicate by SMS; I used LINE with 99% of them.
How a woman feels about seeing your real name and family photos—and what she does about it—will vary from person to person. She might be put off but still be open to keeping things casual, or she might find it completely unacceptable on a gut level. On the other hand, she may feel reassured that someone who values his family probably won’t do anything reckless.
You can’t predict how someone will interpret different aspects of yourself, so I recommend approaching things without making assumptions or getting overly worked up.
If you’re concerned about having your real name and family photos visible on LINE, getting a second phone specifically for papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is another option.
