When I receive an offer, they ask what kind of food I’d like, which I appreciate. At the same time, since my profile mostly just lists my favorite foods, I wonder if many people send offers without really reading profiles…??

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Whenever I make an offer, I always read everything carefully. If it’s for a meal and she’s written something like, “I like Japanese food,” I’ll ask, “How about this restaurant and this kind of cuisine?” Since everyone has different preferences, I only make the room reservation.

I’m Saito, the column writer ♪ It’s precisely because I read the profiles. Someone wrote, “I can eat anything,” but she happened to be fasting and was perfectly happy with just a smoothie. Another wrote, “I love sushi,” but the men making offers kept taking her out for sushi, and she was already getting tired of it. Things really do vary once you meet in person. When someone asks you to choose, like, “Which would you prefer: sushi, tempura, or teppanyaki?” it’s 100% not one of the genres listed as their favorite on their profile. At least, that’s how it is in my experience.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here. For example, a profile might say something like, “I like Japanese food and meat dishes.” But people may want different things depending on the day, so I think they ask what you feel like eating for your first date, just to be safe. Using the example above, it could be a matter of choosing between Japanese food and meat dishes—or, if you choose meat, deciding between teppanyaki, steak, yakiniku, and so on. Basically, they’ve read your profile but want you to tell them which of those options you’d prefer. Another possibility is that you were nervous during the interview and listed everything except foods you dislike. Some people may ask just to clarify that, too.
