I’d like to see him again, but he messages me on LINE every day, and honestly, it’s becoming a bit much. Is there a way to handle this? What could I say to get some space without hurting his feelings?

Maezawa here—I’ll answer too. If he’s the kind of man who messages you on LINE every day, he’ll probably be hurt no matter how you put it, so I think it’s best to tell him honestly. It might also help to include a bit of an explanation, something like: “I really like you, but you send so many LINE messages that it’s cutting into my private time, and I’m having trouble with that. I’d rather save things to talk about when we meet, so could we please use LINE mainly for arranging our schedules?” Something along those lines? Is that too straightforward?
