Even when things do work out, they often end after about three meetings. Is it a matter of the woman’s appeal? Are the terms of the arrangement unrealistic? Or could it be something else?

I’m Saito, the columnist♪ Three times… really…? You mean in an adult relationship (intimate), right? As Maezawa-san said, if there’s a problem, I think many people would end the relationship after just one meeting. If it continues for as many as three meetings (despite the issues), perhaps the woman gradually starts to let her guard down? Or maybe the man starts thinking, “I feel less attracted to her every time we meet,” or “The more I see her, the more I realize she has no substance.” On the other hand, if it was a tea-only or dinner-only relationship, he probably thought, “This isn’t going to develop any further,” haha.

Maezawa here. > Even when things do work out, they often end after about three meetings. Since I haven’t met you, I can’t say for sure why. But if there’s something unrealistic about your terms, I think things would probably end after just one meeting. So perhaps around the third meeting, you start showing your true self—or take off the mask, so to speak. Maybe the men become disappointed by something they notice, and that’s why things often end around the third meeting. Try recalling what the men said when you were seeing them. They may have hinted at the reason without saying it directly, such as, “I’m not really into women like that…” That said, not knowing the reason can be frustrating. You could ask your registered branch for another photo session—though they may turn you down if they’re busy—and say something like, “I’d like to ask for some advice…” They might then point out something that could be improved. Why not request another photo session, even if it’s a long shot?
