I’m the male member who was asked if I’m emotionally unstable.

I’m Saito♪, a column writer. > P.S. The exclusive Zashiki-warashi party sounds interesting. > (Though there’s the issue that some people don’t want to meet other men.) True... lol Maybe the LSE format? Whether the men are lucky charms is a separate question, though. lol

Maezawa here. > I wouldn’t want to continue seeing someone who is unreachable or difficult to get in touch with. I don’t think there’s any problem with that at all. Wanting to date this kind of woman, wanting to meet your ideal woman, or wanting to meet someone who makes you feel at ease—those preferences differ from person to person. I don’t think you need to force yourself to continue seeing someone you don’t like. > Since I don’t want an ongoing relationship with someone who is difficult to contact, does that make me emotionally unstable? That’s not what made me think you were emotionally unstable. You initially make plans because you want to see her again, but as the date approaches, you start not wanting to meet her and begin thinking about how to cancel. That was what I was referring to. That said, this seems fairly easy to improve: even if you want to see her again, don’t make plans for the next time while you’re still there. That should solve the problem. Also, I believe keeping promises is simply the normal and obvious thing to do. If you feel that keeping a promise might be difficult, then before making one, think carefully about whether you can really commit to it. > Since that isn’t very gentlemanly, will I be expelled from the service? I don’t think the part about not wanting an ongoing relationship has anything to do with grounds for expulsion, nor do I think it has anything to do with whether you’re being gentlemanly. So I don’t think you need to worry about being expelled. P.S. The Selected Zashiki-warashi Party sounds interesting. (Though there’s also the issue that some people don’t want to meet other men.)

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ I feel a little responsible because my reply was late and Mr. Maezawa answered first. I’m sorry. It’s true that slow replies on LINE can make you feel anxious and suspicious, right? Even during interviews with women at the club, if a thank-you message came three days later, you’d probably think, “Huh?” When I talk with club members about their concerns, some come to me about women who are slow to reply. Some women are simply “slow” by nature, or perhaps that’s just part of their personality. I’ve come to enjoy it with the other female members, thinking of it as a bit of spice in life. (“I got a reply three days later!” “Surprisingly, she replied within a day this time!” and so on.) And that woman gets chewed out by nearly all the male members. LOL At the very least, since you made a promise, why not meet her as a matter of courtesy? As Mr. Maezawa said, I sometimes give a little extra and part ways, but this works because the club properly verifies and keeps records of both parties’ identities. With apps, you could end up caught in a honey trap or something similar, so please be careful.
