I’ve been seeing a man I met here for about six months.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office will answer as well. > • Why does he talk about women he’s offered arrangements to in the past, or girls he met through the sex industry, even though I never asked…? I don’t understand why he keeps talking when I clearly look uncomfortable… You’d have to ask him directly to know for sure, but maybe he simply wanted to tell you that he’s been involved with all kinds of women. As for your uncomfortable expression, perhaps he hasn’t noticed—or maybe he’s a slightly sadistic type who enjoys seeing you look uncomfortable. > • Compared to before, he’s become less expressive with his affection… Is that just how men are? That’s pretty normal. Regardless of whether he’s interested in someone else, I think many men start assuming, “We’ve been together a long time, so she knows how I feel without me having to say it.” > Since he hasn’t gotten married, I want to believe I’m his main girlfriend, but… I think you may be his primary partner as far as being his girlfriend goes, but he probably isn’t thinking any further ahead about marriage. If he were thinking that far ahead, I feel he would stop talking about those things when he saw how uncomfortable they made you.

I’m BB7, a male member in my late 40s. This is just my personal opinion… > Why does he talk about women he’s previously made offers to, or girls he met through the adult entertainment industry, even when I didn’t ask? He keeps talking even when I clearly look uncomfortable, and I don’t understand it… - He’s simply bringing them up as conversation topics without realizing it. (He may not mean any harm, but he doesn’t pay attention to women’s feelings.) → He may not even notice your discomfort. - He’s doing it deliberately. (Perhaps he wants you to feel that you’re just another woman he’s seeing for fun.) → He sees that you’re uncomfortable and intentionally keeps going because he wants to make you feel that way. > He shows me less affection than he used to… Is that just how men are? Has he started focusing on someone else? - After six months, he simply got bored and his feelings cooled. - He became interested in another, newer woman. > We’re close in age, and he isn’t married, so I want to believe I might be his serious girlfriend… It may help to think about why that man joined a dating club in the first place.

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ There’s nothing wrong with meeting someone through a dating club and eventually getting married, but I feel that’s pretty rare. Of course, there are no limits on where people can meet. > Why does he talk about women he’s offered to in the past or girls he met through escort services, even when I didn’t ask…? When I look uncomfortable, he keeps talking about it, and I really don’t understand… I think it’s also rare for someone to tell their serious girlfriend or future spouse about a dating club, so based on what you’ve shared, it seems reasonable to assume that he sees you as “one of the women he met through a dating club.” It’s also possible that he brings it up deliberately because he doesn’t want you to take the relationship too seriously. > He’s been showing less affection than before… Is that just how men are? Has he become interested in someone else? I’m kind of the same way. However, when a woman’s displays of affection start to feel too intense, I sometimes become distant in order to avoid it.
