Have offers decreased because of COVID, or are things unchanged?

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. I haven’t compiled the exact figures, but it does seem to have decreased somewhat—not drastically, though. (If it had, the company would be in an uproar by now.) Perhaps people have decided that it’s safer than being in a crowded, enclosed space.

I’m a male member in Seattle. I’ve been holding back from making new offers. That said, I’m still meeting my ongoing partners at the same pace as before. I’ve stopped going on movie dates, and I don’t really feel like going to show pubs for a while either. I already have someone who’s an A-type arrangement. We still eat at regular restaurants anywhere, though.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. It seems like getting offers to meet is difficult right now. Even I find myself hesitating a little about meeting someone I’m seeing, so if I weren’t as idle as I am, I might be able to refrain from meeting her too. Meg, I’m surprised that love hotels are unexpectedly just as packed as usual. Meanwhile, karaoke places and sushi restaurants are practically empty.

I’m Meg, a female member. Some people are holding back on offers, while others seem to be increasing them. I secretly suspect that love hotels are actually busier than ever at times like this. Have you let the people you’ve met before know that you’d like to see them again? Since things are like this right now, why not take another look at how things were with the people you’d been seeing regularly? In my case, I didn’t meet that often to begin with, so perhaps it hasn’t affected me much. If you’re waiting for a new offer, maybe it’s best to think of this as a time of rough seas and strong winds, and simply wait patiently—as long as you’re not in a desperate situation. There’s no point in panicking. If you have some free time, you could also think of things to do at home that don’t cost much. I’ve been busy tidying up lately (笑). Decluttering, perhaps??? When your room feels more spacious and organized, your mood lifts too. Hikōkiya-san, What? Really? My prediction was amazing!!! (Don’t say that about yourself, lol)
