A platinum member in her mid-20s whom I’m seeing told me, “I’ve barely had any adult experiences.” However, her relationship type when she registered was C, and when I made her an offer, it was B1. She also says that most of her private companions are men. Do you think the “I’ve barely had any adult…” story is made up?

There’s probably a reason she changed you from C to B1. Whether she’s making it up or not, you should assume that when she says, “I’ve had very little experience with adult relationships,” she’s being cautious about you. In my case, when I date a B1 woman, I set a clear limit beforehand—for example, “We’ll continue having dinner for X dates.” If things haven’t progressed to an adult relationship by that point, I firmly accept that we simply weren’t meant to be and move on. To avoid getting dragged along indefinitely, it’s important to set a clear cutoff point and know when to cut your losses.

Even before considering whether it’s made up, I think it’s important to realize that people have different ideas of what “most” means. For example, even if someone has been with ten people, if everyone around her has been with more than 100, then from her perspective, it wouldn’t be strange for her to relatively feel that she has had “almost no adult experience.” You might think there’s no way she could be surrounded by that many people, but we live in an age where connecting with others online is completely normal. If she belongs to a group exclusively for women involved in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), that kind of thing could happen. So it’s dangerous to take the word “most” and automatically attach a number based on your own assumptions. A little while ago, I came across an exchange from *Interspecies Reviewers*, a series set in a world where all kinds of races coexist: “Like I said, elves are all young, beautiful, and amazing.” “Hey, Stunk.” “Yeah, Zel?” “Did you sleep with that elf we saw earlier?” “She was incredible.” “You’ve got to be kidding. She’s over 500 years old. She’s an old lady! How could you even do it?” “She looks young, and to a human like me, she’s cute enough. So what’s the problem?” “Seriously? How could you possibly think she was cute?” “Oh, isn’t that Zel-chan?” “Ah! Mitsue!” “Humans really are the best. They only have girls who are under 100.” “I keep telling you, your taste in women is bizarre.” “I’ve been saying for 100 years that humans are the bizarre ones!” “Elves are cute no matter how old they are.” “Your mana must be rotten. Don’t you get it?” It was an exchange like that, and it reminded me that everyone has a different sense of things. I think it’s important to properly check whether your own sense of things matches someone else’s. Also, I don’t think that’s what really matters here. If you’re currently seeing this woman, the important question is whether you actually want to continue being with her. And that seems unrelated to how many people she has been with. If that’s what matters to you, then I think you should look for a virgin and date her. But even if you are her first, it’s still entirely up to her who she dates afterward. So it’s also important to consider whether you have enough appeal for her to want to be with you and you alone.

If, in C or B2-type arrangements, things progressed to an adult relationship (intimate) and they expected it every time, she may simply have grown tired of that. Perhaps she wants to enjoy not only the allowance, but also the nature of the relationship and what they do together…

It could be made up, or it could be true. The fact that he went out of his way to tell you might mean he doesn’t want an adult relationship (intimacy) with you.

How should I know? Only the person who said it can really enjoy overthinking and speculating based on such a vague statement as “ほとんど” (“almost”).

It’s a hint that you’re planning to ask for an allowance for dinner.
