What do you talk about with a woman you’re going on a first date with?

I’m Rin, a female member. I feel the same way as Marika. When someone repeatedly digs deeper and deeper into a question I’d rather answer vaguely, even my polite smile gradually fades, and I start to feel exhausted. Personally, I find it easiest to answer when they first ask whether they should call me by my club name, or what I usually like to be called. I would never reveal my full real name, but I’ll tell them the name people normally call me. It makes the conversation flow more smoothly. Also, most gentlemen seem to talk fairly specifically about their own work and so on, probably as a way of helping me lower my guard and feel more comfortable with them. If they’ve at least looked at the things I’m not fond of and my hobbies listed in my profile, the conversation naturally expands. I work in a sports-related field, enjoy watching sports, and have a thing for broad chests, so I’m always happy when they tell me about their own sporting background. It makes the conversation more enjoyable and lively.

I’m Marika, a female member. Questions women tend to dislike include: - Why did you sign up with the club? - How many offers have you received so far? - Are you seeing anyone else? Also, if she gives only a vague answer about her job or where she lives, it’s probably best not to press her for more details. If you’re the type who struggles to keep a conversation going, come up with a few other fun topics in advance.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. I’m not sure what you’re really asking. What benefit would you get from knowing the answer? Or what difficulty did you run into in the conversation that made you start wondering about how other people talk? Unless you explain what led you to ask this question and how you’d like to resolve it, I think it would be difficult to answer.

I’m Paper Airplane, in charge of answering the male members’ silly questions. Is this a survey? Or a question? Maybe you mean a conversation that you don’t have to remember much of? “Oops, I haven’t made a reservation. What should we eat? What do you like?” “Where should we go? Is there anywhere you want to visit? What should we do? What do you feel like doing?” And then the conversation naturally develops from there… While heading to the restaurant we chose, you can show her around town, do some sightseeing, discover a new good restaurant, or say, “This place looks delicious too—let’s go here instead.” You could even take turns choosing… In Osaka, there are quite a few places you can visit—like Shinsekai and Nishinari, and even spots I can’t mention here—that a girl probably wouldn’t go to alone.
