I have someone I currently rely on more than anyone else. He’s polite, treats me very well, and doesn’t interfere in my life, so at the moment, he’s the only person I have an adult relationship (intimate) with.

I was wondering what the best thing to do would be, but I thought simply making your profile visible again would be okay. Did you repost it, only to have him find out and cut things off? The men you’ve gone on dates with should be hidden from view, so I wonder if he found out through PATOLO itself. If you tell him you’re going to focus on just one person and then start looking for someone else, he may cut you off for lying. So even if he asks, “Why is your profile visible?” you could deflect by saying something like: “I’m not getting any offers at all, so it’s fine. Please don’t cut me off—I’d be in trouble if you did.” That might be the best way to handle it. That said, I’ve heard some men will keep pestering you just because your profile is visible, so I know it’s a difficult situation…

It’s papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), after all, so relying on just one generous (well-paying) papa could leave you high and dry if he cuts things off. It seems safer to keep two more pay-per-meeting supporters—or something like semi-generous papas—lined up as a backup. If Fuu were a papa-katsu girl, I’d hedge my risks too. Since he’s wealthy, even if he says something demanding like, “Stick with me and me alone,” the moment a woman he likes more than you comes along, he’ll move on to her without a second thought. Wealthy men attract more women than you can imagine, and since he seems mild-mannered too, it’s probably even harder for him. I don’t understand this idea of having to stay exclusive to one person when it’s papa-katsu, after all. You’re already doing papa-katsu, so I don’t see much difference between having one supporter and having three. But I suppose it depends on the individual. It’s not like you’re dealing with dozens or hundreds of people...

I noticed that this person has posted two questions, so I’ll answer the more recent one. Actually, this one says, “Honestly, it would be difficult to continue with just him,” while the other says, “Things have ended with him.”

Do you mean you’re just the kind of person who can’t lie? That’s not a bad thing, so there’s no need to force yourself to lie. Explain your situation to your current papa (a male supporter), including specific figures for your tuition and living expenses. Tell him you need this much each month, and that if he can’t manage it, you’d like to look for another papa. You’re not a Univa member, right? If he cuts you off over that, you should join Univa. I’m sure you can find a generous (well-paying) papa who can cover enough for a college student to live normally. If you can’t find one, try making me a reverse offer. I have about ten girls on an adult pay-per-meeting arrangement for 50,000 yen, and they all meet me three or four times a month—some of them seven or eight times—so I think you could graduate without having to work some awful part-time job. If I like you, I’ll even arrange a place for you to live. Wait, are you the same person as the one in the next question? Oh, come on.
