I think he acted that way because, right up until the last moment, he was thinking, “Maybe she isn’t someone with especially favorable terms… What a shame.”
Why not honestly tell him how you feel instead of asking here?
I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this one as well.
> I was offered favorable terms and was just about to accept when he ended things via LINE on the day we were supposed to meet.
It’s hard to say without knowing what terms were offered, whether you took several days to respond, whether you sent any kind of reply, and what led up to the goodbye message on LINE.
But if I were to speculate, perhaps it went something like this:
At your previous meeting, he offered you good terms, and you agreed to meet again. You had trouble making up your mind, but when the day of the meeting arrived, you decided you would tell him in person that you were willing to accept.
From the man’s perspective, though, he had been waiting and waiting for your answer to his offer. He thought he’d wait a little longer, but you still didn’t say what you had decided.
He may have started thinking, “If it’s taking this long, she must not be that interested. Maybe she’s just trying to figure out how much money she can get. If money is all she cares about, being in a long-term relationship with her probably wouldn’t be enjoyable.”
Even so, he waited a little longer—but still received no reply.
Then, on the day you were supposed to meet, he finally lost patience and sent you a goodbye message.
Could that be what happened?
I don’t know whether my guess is correct, but you should respond as soon as terms are offered.
People often say:
“Lady Luck has only bangs—she has no hair at the back. So when an opportunity comes, grab it without letting it pass.”
Once it has passed, it’s too late to try to grab it. It may be difficult, but I recommend trusting your instincts and taking the plunge.
