I’m a male member. On the morning of our scheduled date, the woman messaged me, “I’m sorry, but my period came earlier than usual.”

I’m BB7, a male member. That’s happened to me a few times as well, but it depends on the relationship you have with the other person. If it’s completely transactional for both of you, I’d postpone it. If you both genuinely enjoy each other’s company even without intimacy, you can just have dinner and do something fun before calling it a night. And if you both want to get a little affectionate, she could take care of me orally, for example. The allowance would be the usual amount—or maybe half? But I think it’s fine as long as the woman is comfortable with it.

I’m a confused woman in my 60s. Mac, wrong guess! LOL I just thought, “If you went on a date, you should’ve paid the full allowance!” I didn’t think it was worth answering, but since I’m being suspected, I had no choice. LOL

I’m Meg, a female member. I’m the type who likes spending as much time together as possible, so I’d prefer relaxing in a private room together～♪ And of course, I’d be happy to show you some affection with my mouth while we’re at it. What I’m worried about is having my allowance reduced… Please don’t say that～ (￣▽￣)

I’m Seattle, a male member. If it were me, I’d suggest just going out for dinner and ask whether she’d be okay with the same allowance of 1 as my other ongoing Type A arrangements, for an hour and a half of her time. I wouldn’t go to a hotel. She may also be dealing with menstrual cramps, so I’d be fine with rescheduling if needed.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. > She stayed fully clothed, and I didn’t climax, but the mood was very loving, so I gave her half of the amount we originally agreed on. The part about giving her half of the originally agreed amount concerns me a little. If it was reduced to half at the end, was she really okay with that? If she only reluctantly agreed, I can’t help feeling a little sorry for her. That’s something only the two of you can truly know. If she was genuinely satisfied and you both had a good time, then it sounds like you have a fun, positive relationship.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. That actually sounds like a good idea(^^) If I run into the same situation, I’ll try that too.

I’m Hikoki, a male member. I tell her, “Dinner only is fine, and if you’re not feeling up to it, I’d still be happy just to see you for 30 minutes,” and then go along with whether she wants to meet or not. I also ask what she wants to do once we meet—if she wants to go to a hotel, we go to a hotel; if not, we go shopping or do something fun. If a woman says she can only meet for 30 minutes, I’ll go meet her near her home for just those 30 minutes, give her the allowance, and leave. If we haven’t been able to meet much, I’ll give her a little extra. If we’ve been meeting frequently, I might give her a smaller amount or just a small gift, depending on the situation. Among the girlfriends I’ve had over the years, there’s one who says she can still enjoy it during her period. She often contacts me during that time, and we do what we normally do. So I believe in listening to what each woman wants, although I haven’t done that yet with anyone from the club. In your case, since you had made a reservation and might understandably feel that you’d wasted your time, another option would be to meet her and say, “I’m sorry, something came up. I’ll give you the allowance now and make it up to you next time,” then give her the full allowance (plus her taxi fare) and leave right away. Of course, the part about something coming up would be a lie. P.S. Leaf, after spending that much time at the hotel, I can see why you’d feel it was a bit stingy. It’s also possible that things only started after you entered the hotel. P.S. To be more honest, I think the questioner simply felt satisfied after getting to do everything he wanted to do, and therefore thought paying half the allowance was enough. But from a woman’s perspective, what men want is usually the exact opposite of what they want—or, more often, what they don’t want at all. You can’t really hear a woman’s true feelings unless you’ve been with her for over 20 years. If you’re married, you’ll never hear them. It might have been more tactful to give her that allowance for dinner only.
