Until now, I’ve only met my papa (a male supporter) after work, but we’re now going to spend a night together on one of my days off.

You could just ask him. I’m sure he’d appreciate it. He’ll probably say, “What you usually wear is fine.” As long as it’s clean and well put-together, something without a designer label might actually be better. If you’re going out for French cuisine, a necklace or ring could be a nice touch. But if it’s room service, you probably don’t need to go that far. It really depends on the time and place. You could ask in a cute way, like, “I’m so happy I don’t know what to do!” and then dress according to your papa’s preferences.

I’ll chime in too! Since you’ll be meeting on a day off, wouldn’t something like a dress be perfectly fine? Rather than worrying about brands, I think it’s best to wear something you feel suits you. You don’t need accessories like a necklace or earrings either. Personally, I like small, subtle accents（笑） No need to bring a gift. I wouldn’t know what to do with it. A cake or some snacks to share would be much better（笑） More importantly, since you’ll be staying overnight, make sure you plan an all-night itinerary so they’ll be saying, “Let’s go to bed already!” If it turns into such a hot night that you start wondering whether the air conditioning is even working, that would be perfect—and your allowance is sure to double!（笑）

Everyone has different tastes, so whether they pay attention to what a woman is wearing—and how they feel about it if they do—varies from person to person. The same goes for gifts. Speaking personally, I’m not fond of women wearing things like necklaces or rings. What a woman chooses to wear is a matter of personal preference, so I don’t read anything deeper into it. The same applies to bags. As for gifts, I’d rather people not bring them because I find it bothersome to feel like I have to give something in return. People’s preferences are incredibly diverse. For example, even if I were introduced to another man’s partner, I’d simply think, “So this is the kind of woman he likes.” I’ve never once felt jealous and thought, “He’s dating such a wonderful woman.” That’s how different people’s tastes can be. That’s why I think it’s important to make an effort to understand your partner’s preferences when dating. Asking complete strangers about their preferences here won’t be of any use to you.
