Is LINE more popular than text messaging because you can see when messages have been read and block people if needed?
This content is machine-translated.
This was a question from a woman.
Personally, I find myself worrying about it on LINE until the message is marked as read.
When it comes to exchanging contact information through a dating club, I actually prefer text messages because they leave some room to wonder whether the other person has read it. There’s something pleasantly vague about that.
This is Saito, the column writer.

For the women at a certain dating club, saying, “Let’s communicate by text message” (and not exchange LINE contacts) is a subtle way of turning down further dates.
Since they absolutely have to call during the date, it seems like a desperate workaround because the other person already has their phone number.
I’ll say it again:

I’m not sure why, but LINE seems to be popular.
That said, apparently more and more people aren’t even checking LINE these days, so I can’t help wondering what’s next.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member.
In my case, I can only use email, so I’m an email person. But it seems like most people prefer LINE.
We exchange one email a day to check that we’re both okay and share updates on how things are going. Since I’m also at an age where anything could happen to me at any time, I make sure not to miss a day.
When I notice an email has come in while I’m working, I smile and sometimes even stop what I’m doing to read it.
After a short break, I’m able to work at a faster pace（笑）
