What’s the best way to stay in touch with someone?
This content is machine-translated.
I assume most people register under their club name, but after the first meeting, how do you usually exchange contact information?
I currently use text messages on my phone, but are there any other good options?
With apps like LINE, is there a chance your real name might be visible?
👤Asked byGuest👨GenderMale🎂50s👑Universe male member
I use my computer whenever I’m not out, so LINE is the obvious choice for me. Most of the people I’ve met used their real names. Though even when they do, they usually use hiragana or Roman letters.

LINE is the only way to go for me.
My LINE name matches my club name.
(That’s how central club activities are to my life, lol.)
People who use their full name as their LINE name are pretty bold, aren’t they?
I imagine they probably aren’t doing anything particularly shady.
Still, I think it’s better not to use your full name...
Your personal information is completely exposed.
Even women who use just one letter of the alphabet, or part of their name in romaji, seem pretty experienced. I imagine they’ve probably done all kinds of things, like feng shui or dating apps, lol.
P.S.
With text messages, the other person finds out your mobile number. And once they have that, they can pay to look up your personal information, so it’s probably best to avoid them.

This is my third question as a man in my 50s. My age and gender haven’t changed.

This is my first time, so I’d appreciate some advice. If I have a first meeting with someone who has Dating Type C and it develops into an adult relationship that same day, what do most people...

On LINE, I use the first hiragana character of my real name. If the other person prefers, I’m also happy to communicate via regular messages or KakaoTalk.
If anything, I exchange messages with people I work with more often. LINE is for private use. Maybe it’s an age-group thing.
With friends and acquaintances overseas, I use WhatsApp or Messenger.
By the way, my impression is that only about one woman in twenty uses her real name on LINE. I can’t think of a single man who uses his real name on LINE—are there really that many? I’m surprised.

Usually, either I or the woman I’m talking to brings up exchanging LINE IDs.
When I first joined the club, I sometimes used text messages, but starting around the following month, I’ve almost exclusively used LINE. I say “almost” because there have been times when I suggested using Kakao instead to someone who seemed like she found LINE bothersome.
If you put your real name in your LINE profile, it will be visible to the other person. That said, suddenly changing your profile name could make the other people you’re connected with on LINE suspicious.
Update:
From my perspective, women who use just one alphabet letter or an emoji are in the minority. Most women use the name portion of their real name in the Roman alphabet—for example, Rika might write “Rika.”
So if a woman uses only “R,” I might assume she has more casual encounters than someone who writes “Rika.”

When we first exchange LINE contacts, we usually use our real names.
I’m naturally more cautious when someone’s LINE name isn’t their real name.
I think most people use their real names because those who don’t probably weren’t exchanging contact information in the first place.
Edit:
As Kazu mentioned, most people use their real first names. Some women at the club even use their full legal names. I do the same myself, so I guess I tend to meet more women who do as well.
It feels nice when both people do that—it makes communication easier and helps build a sense of trust. But if someone uses just one character or an emoji, it feels much more transactional, so I become quite wary and back off.

It’s almost always LINE. Sometimes we use text messages just for the first contact.
Some people use dating apps for couples, but usually only after we’ve gotten to know each other pretty well.
If you’ve set any personally identifying information on LINE, you might be found out.
If you’re worried, why not carry two phones?
I carry two myself.
P.S.
Maybe because I often offer arrangements to women who are careful about keeping their activities private, several of them use just a single letter or an emoji as their LINE name. I use a nickname too, so it works well for both of us.
