When I mentioned that I might miss the last train, he said, “I was thinking of giving you 5,000 yen for transportation, but if you miss the last train, I’ll give you 10,000.”
However, I live somewhere that would cost me 10,000 yen just to get home by taxi, so I wondered whether I was really only receiving the actual transportation cost.
※I had been imagining 5,000–10,000 yen or more, plus the taxi fare after the last train.
I also informed the club about the transportation arrangements in case I missed the last train, and I was sure the club would communicate that to the man as well. But he told me, “The club didn’t tell me anything about the taxi fare, and they didn’t tell me anything about what time the last train was.”
Apparently, he was so busy that he hadn’t even looked at the photo at the top of my profile. Does that simply mean he wasn’t attracted to me?

There are simply too many unknowns to go on here, so it would be quicker to file a complaint directly with the club.
That said, since you told him directly and he essentially said to your face that he had no intention of paying, he’s basically a dud.
Regardless of whether he finds you attractive, basic manners dictate that he should send you home before the last train. Actually, if there’s no chemistry, I’d send you home within an hour.

> Why do some people assume that, for dinner only, the transportation fee means just the round-trip train or taxi fare…?
Hmm…
Since the club staff explain it properly, I think the men are simply being stingy. Men who can’t afford—or don’t want—to pay are deliberately pretending not to understand.
Personally, I feel that men like that aren’t gentlemanly and should probably be forcibly removed from the club.
> I live somewhere that costs at least ¥10,000 to get home by taxi, so wouldn’t I end up receiving only the actual transportation cost?
If this happened immediately after your date, please contact the club right away.
The ¥5,000–¥10,000 is the woman’s allowance. If you stayed together past the last train, the man is also expected to cover the actual taxi fare.
The club will contact the man and tell him to pay for the taxi.
If he refuses, it will be clear that he didn’t simply forget—he did it deliberately—and I believe he would be forcibly removed from the club.
