How long should I wait after the first date before asking for a second one?

Mamiya from the Tokyo Unit here. I think one week is best! It’s ideal to ask about your next date during the first meeting. After that, casually confirm the schedule in advance over LINE as well. It’s totally fine if you already have plans and can’t meet! If a week passes without an invitation, the excitement from the first meeting gradually fades. You may even start wondering if you weren’t really their type after all. And it only becomes harder to coordinate your schedules. The way you arrange your dates is also important. The second date is actually more important than the first when it comes to figuring out whether you’re a good fit.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. There’s no set amount of time you have to leave between meetings, or necessarily should leave. I think it also depends on the woman. For now, I’d suggest telling her what you’d prefer. For example: “Would you like to meet next week?” If she’d rather leave more time between meetings, she may reply with something like: “I already have plans next week, but I’m free on [day] the week after.” Once you’ve met a few times, you’ll probably feel comfortable asking, “What kind of interval works best for you?” I don’t think it would be rude to ask from the first meeting either, but it may be best to first explain how often you’d like to meet and then ask whether that works for her.

For women who have just joined: **Top-secret winning strategy** ⚫︎ Send an online offer within a few days of joining A 30-minute online date is easy for women—even those who might otherwise be booked up for the next two weeks—to fit into their schedules, so: ⚫︎ Arrange online dates on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th day after they join ⚫︎ Then meet in person that same day, the next day, or a few days later Even if a woman has 7 or 8 offers flooding in, someone who has a proper job will usually have trouble coordinating schedules. You can tell from your scheduling exchanges how far in advance she needs to plan. It’s best to pass on women from the nightlife scene who can meet immediately… While you’re working out the dates for your other offers: ⚫︎ Have 4 or 5 dates within two weeks Once the various terms of the arrangement are probably being met, the woman may start finding it too much trouble to coordinate dates for new offers. She may no longer feel the need to keep looking for new opportunities…
