Ren Kurosaki, Sub-Chief Coordinator at the Osaka branch of West Customer Loyalty Group, is answering your question. We hold two types of events in Osaka: (https://event.universe-club.jp/?id=-99) The “One on One” event listed there is attended by staff in rotation, so you won’t have to worry about feeling lonely because no one approaches you. The standing buffet-style party is more free-form, so it is possible that no one may approach you. You’re welcome to leave early if you’d like, but some women do take the initiative and approach people themselves, so we encourage you to participate with a positive, proactive attitude! If you have any questions, please contact the branch where you registered directly♪

I’m Seattle, a male member. Mr. Saito has already covered pretty much everything I wanted to say. Since the party format is first come, first served, gather your courage and approach the people you’re interested in as early as possible. That’s what I did, too. If you’re not comfortable with the first-come, first-served format, try the lounge-style events, where you speak with people one-on-one in turn.

I’m columnist Saito♪. I’ve attended events myself, and surprisingly, the time seemed to fly by. At parties, some people cling closely to members of the opposite sex, so I didn’t have the courage to join in and did feel a little lonely. But it was also an interesting, objective learning experience to see the kinds of women and men who join dating clubs. (I think you can also reassess your own level.) For women, it’s a chance to become friendly with other women and talk about things they normally can’t discuss, such as recent experiences and going rates. You may be thinking, “If I don’t like it, I can just leave,” but at a two-hour party, try not to look at it that way. Stay positive and see what kinds of unexpected pluses you can find.
